2023 BIKE SHOWCASE

Kawasaki Klx230 S

Originally introduced in 2020, the dual-sport KLX230 receives multiple updates for 2023 along with a new S version featuring a lower seat height. Revised ECU settings have been implemented with a goal of both reducing engine noise at idle as well as accommodating the requirements of different altitudes and temperatures. A new LED headlight and a KX-inspired front fender provide the 2023 KLX230 with an updated look. For riders in search of a more manageable reach to the ground, Kawasaki has introduced the KLX230 S for 2023 with an 830 mm seat height vs. the 885 mm of the base model.

Following the success of multiple Spyder lineups, the company unveiled the lower cost Ryker lineup in 2019 including the Ryker Rally with off-road capabilities. Powered by a 900 cc Rotax engine, the Ryker Rally received upgraded suspension, wheel and exhaust for 2022, which is followed by the addition of multiple new options for colours in 2023.
