Kawasaki KLX230 review - The Japanese dual sport we’ve been waiting for | Autocar India

[@sarge12k]

This is one of the best beginner bikes ever made. A lightweight & friendly dirtbike which teaches you the high-level skill of how to ride in the limit of grip, but at a safe 30kmph -- an impossibility to do on sportbikes. Sad to see so many unaware commenters who haven't grown up beyond specsheets. Due to such a buyer base, it's no surprise why good bikes take so long to reach India.

[@Lokxgamer]

Price 🤮

[@sarge12k]

@@Lokxgamer 2L ex-showroom for locally manufactured KLX 230 S. Not bad for a real dual-sport, unlike the XPulse which embarrassingly weighs ~160kg. Moreover we can't really complain about the price, when we are ready to shell out stupid amounts for terrible bikes like the BMW 310RR.

[@ateequrrahman4684]

You see most of the Indian roads aren't less than the off roads, so Kawasaki and the government have done a good job here.

[@thulasidalam]

I don't know which state you are referring to!

[@RohanBhosle123]

​@@thulasidalam he refering to whole of India itself

[@vikaskala2962]

i don't agree with you.

[@prakasht1549]

I am from Andhra Pradesh i had gone through 96% roads in India , and all states including the state you are in are bad at most of the places, now you will refer me as Chinese or what ? 😂

[@srisridhar1663]

😂😂😂 correct 💯

[@JH09SUMIT]

I think KTM is going to shock everyone with the pricing. Gut feeling

[@ivancharlie9071]

welcome to world of dual sports motorcycling, at last a green machine 😮 kudos to kawasaki

[@ShamikHasan-h2d]

They should have seen the legendary xr series by honda

[@priyanshu_sharma7023]

I hope with localisation, they could price it under 2 lakh . And hope they bring klx 230s as well, its 830mm seat height will surely help a lot of riders.

[@jewel7906]

Meanwhile honda just showcases that xre 300 at every auto expo. 😠

[@ParvezRathod-g8c]

Coming to INDIA ?

[@vimalprince4467]

now I wait for xpulse 210 and ktm 390 enduro. Power, weight, price and serviceability are main things I consider before buying. Weight and serviceability are main criteria.

[@CSK_Forever_shorts]

KTM has also announced their Enduro 125 & 390. And If 390 got priced right and you know this Kawasaki is CKD. Then you are wise enough what will happen 🤐.

[@Vicky-ne9mt]

390 will be 4.5 onroad min

[@CSK_Forever_shorts]

@@Vicky-ne9mt around 4.25 yes, but that is almost 2.5 times more powerful and this Kawasaki should be around 3.5 on road. And the service and reach of Kawasaki is much smaller and worse than KTM.

[@tysonmissile5104]

KTM Enduro 390 will be much heavier than the KLX considering it’s built around the Duke frame.

[@AAKEngine]

it's dirt bike, Idk why y'all keep comparing a pure dual sport to an adv or to machines which are naked sports bikes with off road wheels. Everyone is missing the point that is, it's simple and fun, taks it anywhere everywhere. It's so so much light fully furled. Ktm has no chance in terms of reliability and capability this kawi takes the cake.

[@Vicky-ne9mt]

@@CSK_Forever_shorts u can't take ktm to trails, may be for bit off off road that's it

[@roychoudhuryavilash]

Periodic maintenance will be a pain in the ass😢

[@alanalan4398]

Yup am paying nearly 9k 🥵for my Ninja 300 but tat pain ends wen i rev tat twin cylinder 😁

[@spongyshorts1278]

It is one of the most reliable dirt bike ever built by kawashaki. Go watch some other yt videos. There it says it all.

[@maverick2678]

The bike we needed and wanted at a price we don't wanted

[@shivparmar1317]

It's always good to have more options and competition in the market!

[@pranay8p]

Wish they launched these kind of bikes 10 years back

[@udayshome1793]

Probably a 100 people in the entire country of 1.5B wants this. Kudos to the Kawasaki sales strategy team.

[@achyou3525]

Is it tubless or not ??

[@drury2d8]

Why this over an Xpulse for basic fire roads?

[@raghavendrasripuram1997]

@autocar pls give review for Honda Africa twin 2024

[@ajitdubey3309]

Will they also bring #W230 ?

[@ScooterNinja]

Top speed? 135kmph?

[@kaZZunni]

it's 120km/hr, it's nice for a endurance bike

[@pacificsword1632]

This is a surprisingly well thought out offering from kawasaki.msre you sure they told the pricing right? Because it’s even priced Ok.

[@SunsetsandThingpuiSenhang]

I hope they bring in the w230, I love it

[@sayandas5587]

Just get an xpluse rally and modify it to fit your needs

[@buddhijivi9057]

Hero Engine has issues

[@GKEnterprises-rn5rz]

Xpulse has a service issue. SVCs don't know what to do with engine checklight. Which sensor has malfunctioned, what to check. Nothing.

[@kushalgupta6626]

Going to be boon for Bangalore roads, lighter than xpulse is a plus

[@uzmafarooqui16]

Finally 4K quality😭

[@shubhromu]

[@bikermc]

2.5 would be best for indian bikers,

[@panzarybasumatary8133]

Finally Kawasaki taking the Indian market seriously... Yamaha and Honda should not be forgiven for treating India as a Scooter market.!

[@rajeevraghavan4068]

I feels it's an younger generation of old endura

[@yeluripati]

Kawasaki is too late for the party, competition is already moving ahead by launching 210cc with 25bhp on Nov 2024. This bike is still ckd will cost way more than competition😜.

[@Vicky-ne9mt]

Impulse chassis is no match to this

[@yeluripati]

@@Vicky-ne9mt bro any chasis on off road is same. Suspension matters the most. Chasis dynamics are very important for sport bikes as they need to take the impact very fast.

[@nari1855]

Comparing this bike to the x pulse and the Himalayan is like comparing apples and oranges they belong to 2 totally different segments
