Bridging the world between a weekend play bike and a full race bike, Kawasaki’s KLX300R is the ultimate high-performance trail bike for off-road thrills.

The 292 cm³ liquid-cooled 4-stroke engine combined with a lightweight perimeter frame is a simple recipe for unreal, off-road riding.

Stability and rigidity is improved at speeds by the lightweight frame, while the short wheelbase  facilities agile handling. The fuel injected engine delivers crip power delivery, quick-revving power and strong low-end torque. Riders need to be on their game when riding the KLX300R, because this powerplant means serious business.

Stopping power is rather impressive and features strong disc brakes for a more controllable ride. A twin-piston caliper gripping a semi-floating 270mm petal disc in the front and a single-piston caliper with a 240mm petal dic slowing the rear. For more time off-road, Kawasaki has equipped the KLX300R with a 7.9 litre, long range fuel tank, made from a lightweight, durable plastic (reducing weight).

Built to endure the rigorous hard trails in Australia, the KLX300R has undergone numerous considerations for reliability. The 43mm inverted front forks aids instability and control, on rougher terrain. This allows for the rider to be more aggressive and tackle harder challenging off-road tracks.
