The Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer Kawasaki is gearing up to enter the adventure bike segment in India with its all-new Kawasaki KLX 230 S motorcycle. The company’s new adventure offering is scheduled to be launched in the Indian market on October 17, 2024. The Kawasaki KLX 230 S is expected to be priced around INR 1.5 to INR 2 lakh, making it the second lowest priced Kawasaki motorcycle in India.
Bookings for the upcoming KLX 230 S motorcycle are already open in India. The Kawasaki KLX 230 S is going to arrive on Indian shores through the CKD route. In the adventure motorcycle segment, the forthcoming KLX 230 S will rival the likes of the Hero Xpulse, Hero Xpulse 200 4V, and the upcoming Xpulse 210.

The dual-sport bike rolls on 18-inch rear and 21-inch front wire-spoke wheels. The wheels are covered in twin-purpose knobby tyres. For braking performance, the KLX 230 S receives disc brakes at both ends.
Powering the Kawasaki KLX 230 S ADV motorcycle is a 233-cc one-cylinder air-cooled engine that churns out 19 bhp of power at 8,000 rpm and peak torque of 20.6 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The unit is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
