Kawasaki KLX 230 Launched in India at Rs 3.30 Lakh

Kawasaki has launched the KLX 230 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 3.30 lakh. At this price, the dual-sport bike is significantly more expensive than many competitors, including the Hero Xpulse 200 4V, which is priced at Rs 1.51 lakh. The KLX 230 maintains its dual-sport design with a lightweight yet robust frame. It offers ample power for an exciting ride, all while maintaining a light kerb weight of just 139kg. The bike features a tall front fender, a distinctive hexagonal headlight housed in a plastic cowl, an upswept exhaust, and a compact seat. It is available in two colour options: Lime Green and Battle Grey. Bookings for the road-legal dual-sport machine are open for a deposit of Rs 5,000, while deliveries are set to begin in January 2025.
