Kawasaki KX65 Key Highlights

Price: The Kawasaki KX65 is available in a single variant priced at Rs 3,12,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi). It comes in with a single colour option: Lime Green. It is a fully-imported bike, which explains the high price.

Features: Since the Kawasaki KX65 is a purpose-built bike for off-roading, it does not come with a headlight or tail light, indicators or instrument cluster. It gets a kick-start lever and an adjustable suspension at both ends.

Engine: The Kawasaki KX65 comes with a 64cc, 2-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It is paired with a 6-speed transmission.

Suspension, Brakes & Other Details: The Kawasaki KX65 gets a 33mm telescopic fork with 210mm wheel travel and a 4-level rebound adjustability, along with a linked rear monoshock gets a spring preload, and a 4-level rebound damping adjustability. This should help in setting up the right suspension tune for kids of different statures and ages. The bike comes with a 154.8mm disc at the front and a 146mm disc at the rear. It gets 14-inch spoke wheels both at the front and a 12-inch spoke wheel at the rear. Tyre size for the front is 60-section and for the rear is 80-section, with both being off-road rubbers. The KX65 has a ground clearance of 305mm, comes with a 3.8-litre fuel tank, and has a seat height of 760mm. The kerb weight of the bike is 60 kg.

Rivals: The closest rival to the Kawasaki KX65 is the Kawasaki KLX110R, which is also strictly a dirt bike. If you're an adult with that kind of budget and are looking for a road-legal bike that can handle dirt or trails, then the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, KTM 390 Adventure, and Triumph Scrambler 400 X are available in the same price range.
