2025 Kawasaki KLX 230R S

1. Optimized Ergonomics for Enhanced Comfort

The KLX230R S features a lower seat height of 34.4 inches, compared to the standard KLX230R's 35.6 inches. This adjustment, along with a repositioned rider triangle—25mm forward handlebars and 9mm rearward footpegs—offers improved balance and control, making it more accessible for a wider range of riders. Additionally, the updated seat boasts thicker urethane foam and a wider sitting area, enhancing comfort during extended trail rides. 

2. Trail-Ready Performance Features

Equipped with a 233cc fuel-injected, air-cooled engine, the KLX230R S delivers smooth and reliable power, ideal for low- to mid-range trail riding. Its 6-speed transmission with a wet multi-disc manual clutch ensures responsive handling. The long-travel suspension system, featuring an 8.7-inch front fork and 8.8-inch rear wheel travel, absorbs trail obstacles effectively, contributing to rider comfort and control on rugged terrain.

3. Convenient Off-Road Features

The KLX230R S is designed with off-road convenience in mind. It includes a keyed ignition and lockable fuel tank cap, providing added security and convenience. The 2.0-gallon fuel tank capacity allows for longer trail rides without frequent refueling. Additionally, the bike features a spark-arrestor silencer, making it suitable for use in various regions, including those with stringent environmental regulations.
