2024 Kawasaki KLX 230S ABS

2024 Kawasaki KLX 230 S ABS Accessible Adventure, Upgraded The Best of Both Worlds: Low Seat, Long Travel The 2024 Kawasaki KLX 230 S ABS is the result of Kawasaki listening to its riders. At Souhegan Valley Motorsports, weve always loved the KLX 230 S for its ability to give shorter riders and beginners a confident reach to the ground. For 2024, Kawasaki has achieved the impossible: they redesigned the subframe to provide significantly more suspension travel and more ground clearance while keeping the seat height nearly as low as before. Its a "no-compromise" dual-sport that is as ready for the technical trails of the Monadnock region as it is for the paved commute through Milford. Revised Engine and Smarter Tech The heart of the KLX 230 S has been refined for 2024 to offer better performance where it counts. Torquier 233cc Single: The air-cooled, fuel-injected engine features a narrower intake port and smaller valves for 2024, specifically designed to boost low-to-mid-range torque. This makes it easier to "chug" through muddy sections or pull away from stoplights on Route 101. Switchable Dual-Purpose ABS: A major update for 2024 is the new ABS system. Unlike previous versions, you can now disable both front and rear ABS with a simple handlebar switch, giving you total traditional brake control when you transition from the street to the dirt. Smartphone Connectivity: For the first time, the KLX 230 S features RIDEOLOGY THE APP integration. Track your fuel logs, maintenance schedule, and riding routes directly from your phone. A Completely New Chassis Feel The 2024 model isn't just a facelift; its a mechanical overhaul designed for better handling and comfort. Substantial Suspension Gains: Front wheel travel has increased by 1.7 inches (now 7.9 inches), and rear travel has jumped by 2.6 inches (now 8.8 inches). This allows the bike to soak up larger rocks and ruts that would have bottomed out older models. KX-Inspired Ergonomics: The new bodywork and fuel tank are designed to be flush with the seat, allowing you to slide forward and back with ease. The seat itself is thicker for 2024, providing much-needed comfort for longer treks to the New Hampshire Seacoast. Lightened and Sharpened: A new aluminum swingarm sheds weight, while a steeper rake and shorter trail make the bike feel even more responsive and "flickable" than its predecessor.
