2021 Kawasaki KLX 300

Aggressive Looks

• RIDE IN STYLE: A sharp front cowl and headlight design gives off an aggressive first impression and leads into the KX™-inspired bodywork that’s sure to turn heads. From the cockpit all-digital instrumentation is on display, including a digital speedometer, bar-type tachometer, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, and a range of warning/indicator lamps.

Comfortable Ergonomics

• RIDE IN COMFORT: The KLX®300 dual-sport’s rider-friendly ergonomics closely align with the KLX®300R off-road motorcycle, offering an upright and relaxed riding position. Footpegs are positioned closer to the bike’s centerline for optimal riding comfort during on- and off-road excursions. Complementing adventure capabilities is a thick-padded seat that provides comfort on longer rides, while the 35.2-inch seat height allows riders to comfortably reach the ground at stops for added confidence.

Dual-Sport Capability

• EXPERIENCE ON- AND OFF-ROAD THRILLS: The KLX®300 motorcycle exhibits agile maneuverability whether on- or off-road thanks to a slim, lightweight perimeter frame. The caster angle (26.7°) and short wheelbase contribute to quick handling, while the high rigidity of the frame ensures straight-line stability. Long-travel suspension is trail-tuned and offers 10.0 inches of travel up front and 9.1 inches in the rear. The 43mm inverted cartridge-style front fork has adjustable compression damping to optimize fork performance for conditions and personal preference. The Uni-Trak® rear suspension offers bump absorption and rebound damping adjustability, and fully adjustable preload, allowing riders to tailor shock settings to personal preference. Substantial braking power comes thanks to a 250mm petal disc and twin-piston caliper up front and a 240mm petal rear disc and single-piston caliper. Strong dual-sport performance is further enabled with a 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel. Wheel rigidity contributes to light, smooth handling and offers great durability for off-road riding.

Power and Performance

• GET THE POWER TO PLAY: At the heart of the KLX®300 ultimate lightweight dual-sport, is an enduro-inspired 292cc engine, fuel-injected and liquid-cooled for consistent performance even when the action heats up. This DOHC four-stroke engine boasts a strong low- and mid-range, with exhilarating top-end pulling power. Throughout the RPM range, power delivery is smooth and throttle response is crisp to accommodate a wide variety of riding situations, that is sure to excite riders of all skill levels, from off-road riding to light touring to city riding. For added comfort especially in heavy traffic, the innovative radiator fan directs hot air down and away from the rider. Electric start offers easy starting; fuel injection helps with reliable starting in a wide range of conditions and contributes to clean emissions and good fuel economy.
