Climb the ranks quickly and confidently with the bike built for victory. Be Next on the KX250X.

Factory-Style Engine Components & Tuning

The base factors that have made the KX250 engine a standout performer in its class—finger-follower valve actuation, a downdraft style intake, and dual injectors—are complemented by revised intake and exhaust layout and a single-shaft primary balancer, for an all-around stronger package with enhanced control better capable of challenging for race results.

Cross-Country Wheels & Tyres

F21”/R18” wheels and enduro-type tyres are well-suited to the situations encountered in cross-country racing.

Essential Cross-Country Equipment

Convenient side stand is standard equipment.

Hydraulic Clutch

Compared to a conventional clutch, the 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.

Single-Shaft Primary Balancer

A single-shaft primary engine balancer contributes to smoother power delivery and reduced vibration, which improves control, especially when exiting slower-speed corners.

Enhanced Throttle Control

Complementing the significantly increased low-end torque and the smoother power delivery, throttle response is more linear, delivering lag-free power in proportion to how much the throttle grip is twisted. This greatly facilitates control, enabling smooth acceleration on challenging or low-traction surfaces, helping riders push the limits more confidently, and reducing rider fatigue so that they can more easily maintain their pace for the duration of the race.

Power Modes

Using the Mode (M) button on the left handlebar, riders can quickly and easily switch between two engine maps (Normal, Aggressive) provided in the ECU.

Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC)

Using the Traction (T) button on the left handlebar, riders can quickly and easily select from two levels (Weak, Strong) of traction control to suit conditions and preference. Riders may also elect to turn the system off.

Holeshot Advantage: Launch Control Mode

Factory-style launch control system increases the chance of getting a good start by helping riders maximize traction when starting on a low-traction surface.
