Among AMA Supercross/Motocross champions, many riders participated from their time in the largest amateur championship in the United States, "Loretta Lynn's," as members of Kawasaki's amateur racer support program. Kawasaki has long recognized the importance of nurturing young talent and has provided the support and machines necessary to win for up-and-coming racers.
The KX112 / KX85 / KX85 L inherit a proven engine while embodying the "Built to Win" philosophy. They feature chassis components that inherit the DNA of Kawasaki's full-size motocrossers and ø43mm inverted front forks. The adjustment mechanism is fully adjustable, and the outer tubes are treated with Kashima Coat to improve wear resistance. Additionally, the rear suspension stroke of the KX112/KX85 L is set to 305mm, equivalent to that of a full-size motocrosser. Equipped with large-diameter front and rear brake discs, they deliver excellent braking power. Furthermore, the adjustable handlebar allows for riding position adjustments to accommodate riders of various physiques. With a chassis that maximizes engine performance, the KX is a genuine race machine boasting high completeness, powerfully supporting the careers of young riders.

KX65 *Image may differ from actual model and specifications.
The KX65 is a genuine kids' motocrosser equipped with a 6-speed transmission. Its aggressive design, which condenses the style of higher-grade models, and high running performance have earned high praise from many young riders. The highly reliable and durable 64cc water-cooled 2-stroke single-cylinder engine balances punchy high-rev power characteristics with ease of use. To withstand hard riding, the body employs a genuine semi-double cradle frame. It is also equipped with suspension that allows adjustment of front and rear rebound damping and rear preload, enabling settings to match road conditions and skill levels.

*Image may differ from actual model and specifications.
As a model that forms part of Kawasaki's off-road lineup, it offers an attractive package including the engine, ground reach, seat comfort, and styling incorporating KX style. The well-regarded 232cc single-cylinder engine employs a single-axis primary balancer, achieving smooth and easy-to-handle output characteristics. The chassis, refined through numerous tests to achieve balance with the engine, combines front 21-inch / rear 18-inch wheels with long-stroke suspension, providing stable handling on various surfaces. It achieves both high off-road running performance and peace of mind. Additionally, the seat ensures ample cushioning for a comfortable riding feel. Furthermore, a low-seat model "KLX230R S" with a seat height 25mm lower than the KLX230R is also available.
