2027 Kawasaki KLX230 range details

The KLX230 S is mechanically identical to the standard KLX230 but more accessible for shorter riders

All three models in the MY27 KLX230 range share the same 233cc single-cylinder air-cooled fuel-injected engine producing 19hp at 7,800rpm and 19Nm at 6,200rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The KLX230 S is the new addition and mechanically identical to the standard KLX230 but has one key distinction – the seat height is 50mm lower at 830mm versus 880mm on the KLX230. This comes at the cost of reduced suspension travel: 160mm front and 163mm rear on the S, compared to 220mm and 223mm on the KLX230, along with lower ground clearance (220mm vs 255mm).

The KLX230R S, the most off-road-focused machine of the trio, forgoes the headlamp and road-going equipment of the other two models in favour of a more committed off-road setup with a 900mm seat height and 270mm ground clearance.

Kawasaki has also revised the bikes’ prices, which start at Rs 1.89 lakh for the KLX230R S and go up to Rs 2.19 lakh for both the KLX230 and KLX230 S (all ex-showroom, Delhi). The price hikes are notable – the KLX230 goes up from Rs 1.84 lakh to Rs 2.19 lakh, while the KLX230R S sees a Rs 10,000 increase to Rs 1.89 lakh. The brand has mentioned that deliveries for the KLX230R S begin from mid-August 2026, with the KLX230 and KLX230 S following in mid-September.
