Features

Comfortable Ergonomics

  • MAKE COMFORT A PRIORITY: An upright and relaxed riding position makes it comfortable to ride the KLX®230SM supermoto motorcycle. Rider-friendly ergonomics are complemented by a thick-padded seat, rubber-dampened footpegs, and a 33.3-inch seat height make the KLX230SM one of the best options for tackling any urban jungle.
  • ERGONOMICS: Rider-friendly ergonomics are complemented by a thick-padded seat and rubber-dampened footpegs to increase comfort when navigating city streets.
  • LOW SEAT HEIGHT: A low 33.3-inch seat height allows riders to comfortably reach the ground at stops for increased confidence.

Responsive Power

  • REV UP THE FUN: The KLX®230SM supermoto motorcycle is powered by a 233cc, fuel-injected, air-cooled engine. Experience a fun and exciting spread of power tuned for low- to mid-range acceleration.
  • POWER DELIVERY: Smooth power delivery and crisp throttle response helps riders of all skill levels maneuver through stop-and-go city traffic.
  • ELECTRIC START & FUEL INJECTION: Electric start offers easy starting and fuel injection offers reliability in a wide range of conditions and contributes to improved fuel economy.

Supermoto Style

  • ALL ATTITUDE. NO APOLOGIES: The aggressive supermoto-inspired bodywork, finishes, and components on the KLX®230SM supermoto motorcycle deliver performance and attitude.
  • BLACKED OUT: The blacked-out frame, engine, swingarm, handlebar, and rims make this bike a real standout on the street.
  • MODERN TOUCHES: The modern LED headlight and sporty front fender, matched to the 17-inch front wheel, add to the aggressive supermoto image.
  • DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: From the cockpit, an all-digital instrument panel offers at-a-glance information thanks to a large, easy-to-read LCD display screen.

Supermoto-Tuned Performance

  • READY FOR ACTION: The KLX®230SM supermoto motorcycle is built with a compact and purpose-built chassis that contributes to lightweight and highly-maneuverable handling.
  • WHEELS: The 17-inch wheels, road tires, and short wheelbase add agility to the quick handling package.
  • SUSPENSION: Suspension performance offers 8.0-inches of travel up front and 8.6-inches in the rear. The 37mm inverted telescopic front fork contributes to supermoto styling as well as front-end rigidity. The Uni-Trak® rear suspension provides great bump absorption and gives the bike a planted feel.
  • BRAKES: Substantial braking power is provided by a large 300mm semi-floating petal disc and twin-piston caliper up front and a 220mm petal disc and single-piston caliper rear brake package.
