2024 Kawasaki KLX 230SM ABS

The 2024 Kawasaki KLX 230SM ABS is the ultimate urban playground extractor, bringing the lightweight agility of a dual-sport to the asphalt with a dedicated supermoto setup. Designed for the rider who views every curb, tight corner, and city street as an opportunity for fun, the "SM" (Supermoto) transforms the rugged KLX platform into a flickable, street-legal riot. At Souhegan Valley Motorsports, we recommend the KLX 230SM for the rider who wants a low-maintenance, fuel-injected commuter that is just as comfortable carving through Milford traffic as it is lean-angle practicing in a closed course. 2024 Kawasaki KLX 230SM ABS The Asphalt Specialist Supermoto-Specific Hardware What sets the "SM" apart from the standard KLX is a suite of street-focused upgrades designed for maximum grip and sharp handling: 17-inch Front and Rear Wheels: Swapping the dirt-ready 21/18-inch combo for smaller, wider 17-inch wheels allows for the use of high-grip street tires. This significantly lowers the center of gravity and quickens the steering, making the bike feel incredibly "tossable" in tight transitions. Stiffened Suspension: The 37mm inverted front fork and Uni-Trak rear shock feature stiffer springs than the dual-sport version. This reduces "brake dive" and keeps the bike composed during aggressive cornering on paved roads. Large Diameter Disc Brakes: To handle the increased grip of street tires, the KLX 230SM features a massive 300mm front semi-floating petal disc. Paired with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), it provides powerful, predictable stopping power for the unpredictable streets of New England. Proven KLX Performance At its core, the 230SM retains the bulletproof mechanicals that have made the KLX line a favorite for reliability: 233cc Fuel-Injected Engine: The air-cooled, SOHC four-stroke engine is tuned for smooth, low-to-mid-range torque. With Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), you get hassle-free starts and crisp throttle response every time you twist the grip, regardless of the temperature or elevation. Electric Start & 6-Speed Transmission: A simple push-button start gets you moving instantly, while the 6-speed gearbox provides a gear for every situationfrom slow-speed technical maneuvers to cruising at local highway speeds. Lightweight Perimeter Frame: The high-tensile steel frame is narrow and compact, contributing to a total curb weight of only 304.3 lbs. This makes the KLX 230SM one of the most approachable and easy-to-handle street bikes on the SVM floor. Aggressive Street Style Modern LED Lighting: A compact LED headlight provides a sharp, modern look and excellent visibility for night riding, ensuring you stand out in traffic. Blacked-Out Styling: From the rims and engine to the inverted forks, the KLX 230SM features a dark, aggressive aesthetic that perfectly matches its "urban rebel" personality. Comfortable Ergonomics: The seat is designed with a flatter profile to allow the rider to slide forward for aggressive cornering or sit back for a more relaxed commute. The footpegs feature rubber inserts to dampen vibrations for a smoother ride on the pavement.
