All Attitude. No Apologies.

The aggressive supermoto-inspired bodywork, finishes, and components on the KLX®230SM ABS supermoto motorcycle deliver performance and attitude.

Blacked Out

Blacked-out features like the triple clamps, engine, fork, fork covers, frame, exhaust pipe cover, and wheels give the KLX®230SM ABS motorcycle a distinctly aggressive look.

Modern Touches

The compact LED headlight cowl and sporty front fender add to the already aggressive supermoto image, while the frame was designed to give you an easier grip for improved chassis control. Seams between the shrouds, side panels, and seat are flush, which helps improve freedom of movement when changing riding positions.

Digital Instrumentation

From the cockpit, an all-digital instrument panel offers at-a-glance information thanks to a large, easy-to-read LCD display screen. The KLX®230SM ABS features smartphone connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE† which connects you with your bike like never before. Smartphone connectivity enables riders to access instrument functions like vehicle info, riding log, phone notifications, and general settings for an enhanced riding experience.

Rev Up the Fun

Power Delivery

The KLX®230SM ABS motorcycle's engine offers broad low- to mid-range torque, pulling strongly and facilitating low-speed control. Smooth power delivery and crisp throttle response help you maneuver through stop-and-go city traffic.

Suspension

Suspension performance offers 7.4-in of travel up front and 8.7-in at the rear, while a 37mm inverted telescopic front fork contributes to supermoto styling as well as front-end rigidity.
