2025 Kawasaki KX450X Base

2025 Kawasaki KX450X

Tough terrain won't stop us from winning. With championship-proven technology and tuning to take on every challenge, the KX450X motorcycle has what it takes to win outdoors. Get the off-road edge by riding the bike built to stay ahead of the rest.

Features may include:

• CHAMPIONSHIP-PROVEN PERFORMANCE

The KX450X’s engine has always been a strength, but Kawasaki engineers found a way to make it even stronger. Offering smoother low-end torque characteristics and a stronger over-run, the more potent new engine is backed by a host of features like electric start and a hydraulic clutch.

• LIGHT & AGILE

Complementing its acclaimed straight-line performance and nimble handling, a redesigned frame with optimised rigidity balance enables improved cornering performance that remains consistent across a wide range of conditions, while more centralised mass also contributes to the improved handling performance. Premium Brembo brake components and ODI Lock-On grips add to both performance and brand recognition.

• OPTIMISED PERFORMANCE

Cross-country-specific tuning for the suspension, complemented by a 21”/18” wheel combination fitted with enduro-type tyres, and convenient standard features like a side stand make the new KX450X even more attractive for cross-country competitors.

• POWER MODES, KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL, AND LAUNCH CONTROL MODE ACCESSED FROM THE LEFT HANDLE SWITCHES

Complementing an updated Launch Control Mode, the new KX450 and KX450X are the first KX models to offer Power Mode selection and Kawasaki Traction Control at the push of a button. And with smartphone connectivity, riders can adjust engine maps right from their smartphones—another KX first that eliminates the need for accessory equipment.
