Kawasaki KLX 250 2012

The KLX 250 has been traveling the roads for a number of years. In 2009, this trail decided to have a makeover. It is not content with a total exterior remodeling: the engine and the chassis have also been redesigned to make it a more rewarding and fun machine on and off-road..

As it was initially intended to be a more road version of the KLX 300 R competition enduro, the KLX 250 shares much of the temperament and performance of its predecessor. Light and compact, its 250 cc liquid-cooled engine with double overhead camshaft largely mirrors that of the 300 R and offers a wide torque curve that is expressed from low revs and continues to the top of the revs. . However, with its 22 horses, it is difficult to compare with a KTM EXC; much more typical it is true.
The lightweight perimeter frame, constructed in section of square steel tubes, belongs to an older generation of frame types. But he knows how to do his job. Finally, the inverted 43mm tube fork and fully adjustable gas shock absorber make the KLX enjoyable on asphalt as well as on dirt..

In addition to the new superb and more aggressive exterior, this model benefits from a great innovation: the adoption of an injection feed. But the list of developments does not end there: lightweight, high-capacity radiators reduce bulk and weight; suspension settings and internal parts have been revised to improve stability and seating; the redesigned saddle and handlebars make it easier for the rider to move and steer the bike – among other examples … These are all measures that boost the performance of the KLX 250 on and off-road.
