FEATURES

POWER AHEAD

The same championship-proven engine performance found in KX™ motocross bikes is what propels the KX™450X motorcycle. This updated 449cc 4-stroke fuel-injected engine delivers the type of hard-hitting power and a flat torque curve that encourages quick acceleration. Engine maps are optimized for cross-country racing and are now tunable, using the new RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX on your smartphone, to change power delivery to best suit riding conditions and personal preference.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

New handlebar-mounted Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) and power modes buttons offer on-the-fly adjustments for ever-changing off-road conditions. Electric start makes starting the engine as easy as a push of a button. A coned disc-spring hydraulic clutch offers a direct feel, light lever action, and consistent performance.

GAIN FULL CONTROL

Light and nimble handling is achieved thanks to the lean, lightweight chassis of the legendary KX™450 motocross bike. The new aluminum perimeter frame is lighter and features optimized rigidity balance for light nimble handling and increased front-end feel. The muffler has been repositioned for improved mass centralization resulting in lighter handling. The high-performance, race-ready suspension has been optimized for cross-country racing, especially on aggressive trails. New drilled Braking/Sunstar discs (270/240mm) paired with a Brembo caliper and master cylinder at the front and a Nissin caliper and master cylinder at the rear deliver strong stopping power and a high level of control.
