According to Kawasaki, the KLX230SM is a Supermoto version inspired by the KLX230. It shares the same components as the KLX230, but this Kawasaki KLX230SM comes with 17-inch front and rear rims.

For the record, this KLX230SM is still powered by a single-cylinder engine with air cooling that is capable of producing 19hp at 7,600rpm and 18.5Nm at 6,100rpm.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed transmission. Interestingly, Kawasaki claims this KLX230SM offers the best fuel economy with 33.4km per litre.

As a machine for road use, the KL230SM is equipped with a brand new 37mm ‘inverted’ fork that offers 204mm of travel.

The rear part is equipped with an adjustable suspension (preload).
