Kawasaki KLX230 Receives Huge Price Cut – Now Priced At Rs. 1.84 Lakh

GaadiWaadi -

Kawasaki KLX230 uses a 233 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 18.1 bhp and 18.3 Nm of torque

Kawasaki has slashed prices for its dual-sport duo, the KLX230 and KLX230R S, making them far more accessible than ever before. The standard KLX230 now carries an ex-showroom price of Rs. 1.84 lakh with a reduction of Rs. 16,000 while the track-only KLX230R S has been reduced by Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 1.79 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom).

Both motorcycles fall under the reduced 18 per cent GST bracket – a notable drop from the earlier 28 per cent slab. Launched in India late last year at a hefty Rs. 3.30 lakh, the KLX230 initially raised eyebrows with its premium pricing. Recently, Kawasaki brought the price down significantly – over Rs. 1.3 lakh courtesy of local production.

The KLX230 comes with slightly shorter suspension travel front and rear, a single-channel ABS replacing the previous dual-channel system and refreshed body graphics compared to the model that was introduced earlier. Mechanically, the KLX230 sticks to its 233 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine – producing 18.1 bhp and 18.3 Nm of torque.

It is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The suspension setup comprises telescopic forks at the front and a linked monoshock at the rear while stopping power comes courtesy of disc brakes at both ends. The direct rival to Hero Xpulse 210 gets wire-spoked wheels measuring 21 inches at the front and 18 inches at the rear.

The adv’s design remains utilitarian featuring a minimalist fairing, high-set front fender, and a compact tail section. The long and flat seat supports off-road ergonomics allowing the rider to shift weight freely. With a seat height of 880 mm and a kerb weight of just 139 kg, the KLX230 is sold in two paint options in the domestic market.

The KLX230R S remains Kawasaki’s dedicated trail machine – available only in Lime Green shade. Not road-legal, it benefits from a lighter setup, 270 mm ground clearance and a 900 mm seat height. Suspension duties are handled by 37 mm front forks with 220 mm travel and a New Uni-Trak rear shock with 223 mm travel and preload adjustability.

Other highlights are a steel perimeter frame and 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels with knobby tyres. Thanks to the second price drop, Kawasaki has positioned the KLX230 firmly against the Hero Xpulse 210 and more expensive KTM 250 Adventure and Suzuki V-Strom 250. It will be interesting to see how the market responds!
