KAWASAKI KX250

BE NEXT

With more Supercross and Motocross championships than any other manufacturer, the KX name is synonymous with winning. The KX250 motorcycle is the championship-proven machine built so you can ‘be next'. Be the next champion. Be the next hero. Be the next legend. Be the next trailblazer for an entire generation of greatness. On the KX250, your time is now.

CHAMPIONSHIP-PROVEN PERFORMANCE

The KX250’s engine has long been one of its greatest strengths. Finger-follower valve actuation, dual injectors, downdraft-style intake, and other race-inspired performance features are complemented by an electric start and a hydraulic clutch.

RELIABLE STARTING

Quick engine restarts are crucial during races. Electric start simplifies the process with the push of a button.

LIGHT & RESPONSIVE

Hydraulic clutch provides a direct feel and light lever action with consistent control, thanks to coned-disc springs that offer a wider engagement range.

EASY ENGINE TUNING

The ECU is made for off-road riding and has multiple programmable engine maps for better performance. With DFI couplers, riders can easily switch between the three maps to adapt to changing conditions. The maps can be reprogrammed using the KX FI Calibration Kit.

HOLESHOT ADVANTAGE

Factory racer-style launch control system increases the chance of getting a good start by helping riders maximise grip when starting on a low-traction surface.

LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM PERIMETER FRAME

The KX450-based frame (an evolution of the current design) and KX450 swingarm offer improved handling and increased rear wheel traction while contributing to the KX250’s slim ergonomics.

FINE-TUNED SUSPENSION

Improved front-end feedback enhances cornering stability, while the revised rear suspension improves acceleration on the corner exit.

STRONG STOPPING POWER

The large 270 mm front disc provides strong brake force and excellent controllability. The front master cylinder of the KX450 enhances control and feedback from the front brake.

NEW TYRE PATTERN AND 110/90 REAR TYRE

Dunlop MX33 tyres offer increased traction to match the engine’s increased power, while a wider 110/90-19 rear tyre (previously 100/90-19) contributes to increased rear wheel traction as well as a greater planted feeling.

SLIM, ERGONOMIC BODYWORK

KX450-style bodywork features long, smooth surfaces and a flatter tank-seat line designed to facilitate rider movement and control.

GET THE PERFECT FIT

The motorcycle offers four handlebar positions and two footpeg positions, allowing riders to customize their riding position. The bike has a Renthal aluminium Fatbar that helps reduce vibration and shocks. The rider can adjust the grip position to make it easier to weigh the front wheel.

WIDE-STYLE FOOTPEGS

Revised footpeg design as of 2024 is 5mm wider (front-to-rear) and positioned 3mm rearward, offering excellent grip, superb feel, and making it easier to weigh the pegs. Aluminium brackets contribute to weight reduction.
