Advanced Tech

• INNOVATION WINS: In today’s ultra-competitive cross-country landscape, success at the highest level is aided through advanced tech. The KX™250X motorcycle is equipped with smartphone connectivity and electronic controls sourced directly from Kawasaki factory racing efforts, placing race-proven functionality at your fingertips.
• SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY: One of Kawasaki’s flagship technologies, RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX™, is available on the KX™250X motorcycle. With this game-changing tech, riders can calibrate engine mapping, monitor engine telemetry, track maintenance schedules, and more.
• GRIP WHEN YOU NEED IT: The KX™250X motorcycle features Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) at the push of a button. Using the Traction (T) button on the left handlebar, riders can quickly and easily select from 2 levels (Weak, Strong) of control to suit conditions and preference. Riders may also elect to turn the system off.
• ADAPT ON THE FLY: Using the Mode (M) button on the left handlebar, riders can quickly and easily switch between 2 engine maps (Normal and Aggressive) provided in the ECU.
• GET GOING FASTER: A factory-style launch control system helps put the KX™250X motorcycle’s power to the ground for maximum acceleration. By pushing the Mode and Traction buttons simultaneously, you activate the launch control system, giving you an efficient race start in low-traction conditions. The holeshot is yours for the taking.

Cross-Country Handling

• OUTSTANDING CONTROL: Features like a lightweight perimeter frame, Showa 49mm coil-spring fork, and Uni-Trak® rear suspension sharpen handling performance on every section of the course and make this championship-caliber bike a force to be reckoned with.
• LIGHT & AGILE: A lightweight, aluminum perimeter frame delivers a high level of both light, nimble handling and composed character while optimized rigidity balance offers precise front-end feel for superior cornering performance across a wide range of conditions.
• OPTIMIZED FOR OFF-ROAD: The KX™250X motorcycle meets the tough demands of off-road racing. Cross-country wheels (front 21-in/rear 18-in) pair with rugged Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires, giving riders a race day advantage.
• INCREASED FEEDBACK: A high-performance Showa 49mm, inverted coil-spring fork handles suspension duties up front. Its large-diameter inner tubes and large, 25mm damping pistons deliver smooth action and firm damping. Uni-Trak® rear suspension with spring rates and damping settings optimized for challenging trails provides more feedback, enhancing comfort and control.
• OFF-ROAD CONVENIENCE: The KX™250X motorcycle comes with convenient features—like a side stand handy when stopping away from the paddock area, and a lightweight, ERVT sealed chain suitable for long races. A 12V bullet terminal is compatible with a huge range of aftermarket accessories.

Ergonomics & Style

• THE KX™ DIFFERENCE: Thanks to ERGO-FIT® adjustable components, you can optimize your riding position to unlock the bike’s massive performance potential. Sleek bodywork and bold, factory-style graphics stand out from the crowd while holding fast to the winning reputation of KX™ motorcycles.
• ADJUST FOR VICTORY: With ERGO-FIT® adjustability, riders can choose from 4 different handlebar positions and 2 footpeg positions to suit body size and preference.
• FEEL THE ADVANTAGE: Medium-compound ODI lock-on grips offer excellent grip feel, while their screw-type fastening system makes swapping grips easier.
• STYLED TO STAND OUT: The KX™250X motorcycle features nearly seamless bodywork that offers a smooth rider interface. Firm shrouds, side covers, and rear fender help to eliminate hooking points.
• EASY ACCESS: The left-side airbox cover can be removed without tools for easy access to the dome-shaped air filter. The air filter is now secured with quick-release hooks for quick and simple changing.

Power & Performance

• CROSS-COUNTRY POWER: The KX™250X motorcycle is built for cross-country domination. The anatomy of this powerful engine includes finger-follower valve actuation, a downdraft-style intake, and dual injectors. It’s our most competitive racing package to date.
• STRONG AS EVER: On the KX™250X motorcycle, an aligned intake and centrally positioned, straight exhaust port deliver high airflow efficiency, strong overrun, and smooth, low-rpm torque for power when you need it most—when riding at low-end speeds, up hills, or under loads.
• LOW-END POWER: Strong low-end torque pairs with linear throttle control for smooth acceleration and optimum traction.
• EFFICIENT POWER: A single-shaft primary engine balancer contributes to smooth power delivery and reduced vibration, improving throttle control, especially when exiting tight corners.
