FACTORY-STYLE ENGINE COMPONENTS AND TUNING
Stronger Power Across the Rev Range — Even when a machine produces strong power, that power must be delivered in a way that riders can fully control if it is to translate into quick lap times.
Light & Responsive — Compared to a conventional clutch, the hydraulic clutch offers more direct feel and lighter lever action.
Symmetrically Aligned Intake and Exhaust — Symmetrically aligned intake and exhaust contribute to a strong over-run and smooth low-rpm torque characteristics.
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.
Reliable Starting — Being able to restart an engine quickly during a race can mean the difference between keeping your lead or having to fight your way back through the pack.
FACTORY-STYLE CHASSIS COMPONENTS AND TUNING
Lightweight Aluminum Perimeter Frame — The frame delivers both light, nimble handling and a composed character.
Race-Ready Suspension — High-performance Showa ø49 mm inverted coil-spring fork and New Uni-Trak rear suspension offer race-ready suspension performance and adjustability to let riders tune their settings to suit conditions.
Get the Perfect Fit — Complementing the KX250F’s slim ergonomics, the shrouds, side covers and rear fender feature smooth surfaces that eliminate hooking points, making it easier for the rider to slide back and forth.
ODI Lock-On Grips — Medium-compound ODI Lock-On Grips offer excellent grip feel, while their screw-type fastening system greatly facilitates the task of swapping grips.
Quick-Release Side Cover — Left side cover can be removed without tools, facilitating access to the air filter element.
Lighter, More Functional Front-End Styling — Updated front-end styling, accentuating the KX250F’s sleek, flat design.
ADVANCED TECH AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Two Modes to Suit Conditions or Preference — 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 — 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.
Holeshot Advantage — Factory-style launch control system increases the chance of getting a good start by helping riders maximise traction when starting on a low-traction surface.
