BE NEXT.

BE NEXT.

With more Supercross and Motocross championships than any other manufacturer, the KX™ name is synonymous with winning. The KX™250 motorcycle is the championship-proven machine built so you can be next. Be the next champion. Be the next hero. Be the next legend. Be the next trailblazer for an entire generation of greatness. On the KX™250, your time is now.

MORE POWER
POWER TO PERFORM
The all-new KX™250 motorcycle is propelled by a new 249cc 4-stroke engine that offers a higher rev limit and increased power across the entire rev range. Low- to mid-range power and high-rpm capability have been improved, giving you the edge to ride ahead.

A STATE OF FLOW
New intake/exhaust port shape and revised exhaust cam timing contribute to increased engine performance.

SPRING INTO ACTION
New valve springs feature a higher spring rate to match the higher rev limit.

SERIOUS PRESSURE
A revised combustion chamber design and a flatter piston crown help to increase performance. A dry film lubricant coating on the piston skirts reduces friction at low rpm and helps with the bedding-in process.

WIN FROM WITHIN
A longer connecting rod decreases the lateral force on the cylinder walls as the piston moves. The result is reduced mechanical loss for improved efficiency and performance.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY
KLCM (KAWASAKI LAUNCH CONTROL MODE)
Designed to assist riders by optimizing acceleration from a stop, KLCM electronically manages engine output to minimize wheel spin when moving off. With the clutch lever pulled in and the system activated, engine speed is limited to a determined speed while the rider holds the throttle open. Once the rider releases the clutch lever to engage the clutch, engine speed is allowed to increase, but power is regulated to minimize wheel spin and help keep the front wheel on the ground. The system disengages automatically once a predetermined speed has been reached, or when the rider shifts into third gear. Depending on the model, riders can choose from multiple modes, each offering a progressively greater level of intrusion

TRACK TECH
DESIGNED TO WIN
Taking the lead on the track calls for a machine built with the tech to make it happen.

SMOOTH & CONSISTENT
A new coned disc-spring hydraulic clutch offers direct feel and light lever action while reducing play as the clutch heats up. Coned-disc springs make for lighter clutch actuation and a wider clutch engagement range. The all-new KX™250 motorcycle features the same championship-proven hydraulic master cylinder as the KX™450 motorcycle.

MORE AGILE
BUILT FOR AGILITY
The all-new KX™250 motorcycle features an evolution of the KX™450 motorcycle's lightweight aluminum perimeter frame and swingarm, race-ready suspension, and powerful brakes.

LIGHT & NIMBLE
The new lightweight aluminum perimeter frame improves overall rigidity balance while a new swingarm (same as the KX™450 motorcycle) provides increased rear wheel traction.

RACING ERGONOMICS
THE ERGONOMIC EDGE
An optimized riding position and unhindered rider movement help connect the rider with the performance potential of the bike.

PERFECTED POSITION
A factory-style aluminum Renthal® Fatbar® handlebar comes standard, offering reduced vibration. With grips positioned lower and closer to the body, riders can shift weight forward more easily to improve front-wheel traction and increase front traction feel, to ride more confidently at the limit.

SIGNATURE DESIGN
SIGNATURE FACTORY STYLING
Sleek new bodywork and graphics exude an aggressive appearance, pointing to the matching performance and capability.

CHASSIS MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY
ERGO-FIT®
Proper fit is key for rider comfort and control. However, the ideal fit varies from rider to rider, depending on their physical dimensions and riding style. ERGO-FIT® is an interface system designed to allow riders to find their ideal riding position. Various points of the chassis interface (the handlebar, footpegs and seat, etc.) can be adjusted through a combination of interchangeable parts and parts with adjustable positions. This enables a wide range of riders to find a riding position that offers both comfort and control. Feeling at one with their machine, they will be able to experience how Kawasaki machines are fun and rewarding to ride
