2024 Kawasaki KLX 230S

2024 Kawasaki KLX 230 S Adventure Within Reach Trail Performance for Every Rider The 2024 Kawasaki KLX 230 S is designed to take the intimidation out of dual-sport riding. At Souhegan Valley Motorsports, we frequently recommend the "S" model to riders who want the rugged capability of a KLX but prefer a more manageable reach to the ground. By shortening the suspension travel slightly, Kawasaki has created a machine that offers a significantly lower seat height without sacrificing the ground clearance needed to navigate New Hampshires wooded trails. Whether you are a shorter rider, a beginner, or someone who simply values the confidence of a low center of gravity, the KLX 230 S is your ticket to exploring where the pavement ends. Simple, Reliable, and Capable The KLX 230 S is engineered for "jump-on-and-go" simplicity, focusing on mechanical reliability and easy maintenance. Torquey 233cc Engine: The air-cooled, four-stroke single-cylinder engine is designed for low-to-mid-range power. This provides the steady, predictable tractor-like pull needed for climbing muddy hills or navigating rocky sections of the Monadnock trail systems. Hassle-Free Fuel Injection: With Digital Fuel Injection (DFI), you get crisp throttle response and easy starting in any weather. Whether its a crisp fall morning in Milford or a humid summer afternoon, the KLX 230 S fires up instantly and runs smoothly. Six-Speed Transmission: The wide-ratio six-speed gearbox gives you the versatility to crawl through technical woods sections in first gear or cruise comfortably at higher speeds when you're headed back to town on Route 101. Purpose-Built "S" Chassis The standout feature of the KLX 230 S is its specialized geometry, which prioritizes rider confidence and stability. Lowered Seat Height: By optimizing the suspension, Kawasaki achieved a seat height of 32.7 inchesnearly two inches lower than the standard KLX 230. This allows most riders to comfortably plant their feet at stops, whether on a paved intersection or a slanted trail. Full-Size Wheels: Despite the lower seat, this bike still utilizes a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup. This is crucial for off-road performance, as the larger wheels roll over ruts and obstacles far better than smaller-diameter alternatives. Lightweight Agility: With a curb weight of just 291 lbs, the KLX 230 S is incredibly easy to manhandle if the trail gets tight, and it remains remarkably nimble for zipping around town on daily errands.
