As much as Kawasaki’s street bikes are impressive both in terms of performance and overall value, Team Green has quite the impressive repertoire of off-road focused machines in the form of the KLX and KX model series. For the 2024 model-year, the brand has updated nearly all the models for the North American market. That said, take a deep breath, as there’s quite a lot to cover.
Let's kick things off with the KLX series of dual-sports, specifically the updates to both the KLX300 and KLX300SM. The KLX300 boasts a 292cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine that offers a satisfying distribution of power throughout the entire rev range. The KLX300 also features optimized ignition timing and a gear-driven engine balancer, resulting in a smooth engine performance and user-friendly power delivery. Additionally, the use of dual radiators and a slim radiator size ensures efficient cooling for the KLX300, maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
