Kawasaki has introduced its off-road lineup for 2023. The star of the show comes in the form of the KX250 range, available in two flavors. For starters, the base KX250 enjoys a plethora of updates that make it an even sharper and more capable motocross machine. The more premium cross-country racer, the KX250X gets similar updates, too. Let’s dig a bit deeper to see how much better these bikes are for the 2023 model-year.
Starting off with the base KX250, Team Green has given the bike several upgrades for 2023. Most notably, the bike gets a revised engine which significantly increases power and smoothens power delivery. The gearing has been changed, too, to offer the rider a more precise feel especially on technical off-road terrain. Wider footpegs extend the stance of the rider, as well, offering more leverage and confidence when landing jumps, taking corners at speed, and tackling technical sections on the circuit.
