Kawasaki India is offering the KLX 230 bike in two color schemes: Lime Green and Battle Grey.

The leading two-wheeler giant Kawasaki has unveiled the much-awaited KLX 230 motorcycle in India after teasing this bike for months. The all-new KLX 230 is a twin-purpose off-roading bike. Interested customers can reserve the KLX 230 motorcycle by paying a token amount of INR 5,000. The brand has announced that deliveries for the new bike are scheduled to start in January next year, while its price announcement is slated for December 2024.

The Kawasaki KLX 230 model is the first dual-sport road-legal bike to be launched in India. Since Kawasaki is locally manufacturing the KLX 230 sport bike in India, its price is probably going to be competitive. The all-new KLX 230 will directly compete with the KTM Adventure 250 and the Hero Xpulse 200 4V.

The two-wheeler giant is offering a range of accessories with the new KLX 230.
