Kawasaki India has launched the KLX 230R S in India. The off-road only bike has been priced at INR 5.21 lakh. The KLX 230R S will be brought into the Indian market via the completely built unit (CBU). This has resulted in a high pricing for the motorcycle.
As this bike is not to be used on the road, it misses out on mandatory features like headlights, brake lights, indicators and mirrors. In terms of design, the KLX 230R S looks sleek. It gets a tall front fender, fork gaiters, upswept tail and a highly located exhaust.
The bike rides on wire-spoke rims. The front wheels measure 21-inch while the rear is 18-inch in size. These are equipped with tube-type knobby tyres. Other features include long travel suspension – front forks and rear mono shock and petal-style disc brakes on both wheels to name a few.
The bike gets a 233cc single-cylinder petrol engine. This air-cooled unit is paired with a six-speed gearbox.
