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.
