2023 Kawasaki KLX 300 Blends Performance And Comfort For On And Off-Road Riding

For 2023, the Kawasaki team has produced the impressive KLX 300 dual-sport motorcycle that combines on-road capabilities with off-road prowess, making it the perfect choice for those seeking versatility and adventure. The KLX 300 comes packed with features designed to enhance its performance, comfort, and reliability, ensuring that riders can tackle any terrain with ease and confidence.  Powered by a 292cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine, the KLX 300 delivers 30 horsepower and 21 lb-ft of torque to easily handle any off-road challenge. With a fuel injection system that optimizes fuel delivery, the motorcycle offers smooth throttle response and improved fuel efficiency. The six-speed transmission provides a wide range of gearing options, making it suitable for both trail riding and highway cruising.

As in other models in Kawasaki’s 2023 lineup, this dual sport features excellent suspension. The 43mm inverted cartridge fork with 16-way compression damping adjustment at the front and the Uni-Trak® rear suspension with adjustable preload, 16-way compression, and rebound damping adjustment offers excellent handling and control. These suspension components, combined with the motorcycle’s lightweight frame, provide a comfortable and agile ride, even in rough terrain while the skid plate protects the undercarriage.

The KLX 300’s ergonomics are designed with rider comfort in mind, boasting a roomy cockpit foot pegs close to the center line. This allows riders to tailor the motorcycle to their preferred riding position, ensuring optimal comfort and control. The electric start system ensures hassle-free starting, while the digital multi-function display offers useful information such as a speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, and a clock.  As is typical of this Japanese motorcycle brand, they have given a lot of thought into combining technology with user friendly design and great looks.

The 2023 Kawasaki KLX 300 starts at $5,899 USD/$6,899 CAD
