TOP FEATURES

Hydraulic Clutch

Like the KX450, a hydraulic clutch offers more direct feel and lighter lever action. Less play as the clutch heats up during heavy use results in more consistent feeling

Electric Start

Electric start makes restarting the engine as easy as pushing a button.

Renthal Fatbar

Factory-style ø28.6 mm Renthal aluminium Fatbar, a popular aftermarket part, is now a standard feature. The thicker handlebar helps reduce vibration and shocks transmitted to the rider, while the new grip position (19 mm lower, 8 mm closer) helps put the rider in a position that makes it easier to weight the front wheel.

Fine-Tuned Suspension and Brake Components

Updated suspension settings contribute to increased bump absorption and traction, while minor brake component revisions enhance controllability.

Lightweight Aluminium Perimeter Frame

KX450-based frame (an evolution of the current design) and KX450 swingarm offer improved handling and increased rear wheel traction.

Slim, Ergonomic Bodywork

All-new KX450-style bodywork features long, smooth surfaces and a flatter tank-seat line designed to facilitate rider movement and control.
