2021 Kawasaki KLX230R S
K
awasaki announced the arrival of a new model, the KLX230R S.
The KLX230R S is basically a KLX230R with shorter legs. Suspension travel
has been reduced from 9.8 inches to 8.7 inches in the front and from 9.9 inches
to 8.8 inches in the rear, with the ultimate goal of lowering the bike's seat height to
make it accessible to more riders. As a result, seat height has been reduced one full
inch, from 36.4 inches to 35.4 inches.
This "...appeals to rides who prioritize a lower seat height and ample ground clear-
ance while offering a full-size recreational trail bike option," says Kawasaki.
Like the original "R" model, the "S" model features a 233cc fuel injected air-cooled four-stroke
engine, electric starting, full-size 21-inch and 18-inch wheels with front and rear disc brakes.
MSRP is $4399 and the California model is green-sticker compliant. CN
Kawasaki
added a new
model to its KLX
lineup, the 2021
KLX230R S, which
features lowered
suspension and a
lower seat height.
