ELECTRIC START

Being able to restart an engine quickly during a race can mean the difference between keeping your lead or having to fight your way back through the pack. Electric start makes restarting the engine as easy as pushing a button.

RACE-READY SUSPENSION

High-performance suspension comes directly from the KX250. Spring rates and damping settings optimised for the cross-country scene offer increased feedback, especially when riding on aggressive trails.

SLIM, ERGONOMIC BODYWORK

The narrow frame and minimalistic bodywork offer a slim riding position that facilitates control, and a smooth, flat rider interface.

ADJUSTABLE ERGONOMICS

A choice of four handlebar positions and two footpeg positions allows riders to tailor their riding position to suit body size and preference. Factory-style ø28.6 mm (1-1/8^") Renthal aluminium Fatbar is standard equipment. The thick handlebar helps reduce vibration and shocks transmitted to the rider and helps put the rider in a position that makes it easier to weight the front wheel.

CROSS-COUNTRY WHEELS AND TYRES

While the KX250 features F21^"/R19^" aluminium rims, the KX250X uses a F21^"/R18^" combination that facilitates putting power to the ground. Dunlop AT81 enduro-type tyres complement the KX250X-specific wheels and are well-suited to the situations encountered in cross-country riding.

ESSENTIAL CROSS-COUNTRY EQUIPMENT

KX factory-style skid plate and a convenient side stand are both standard equipment. The sturdy skid plate helps to protect the underside of the engine, and facilitates sliding over obstacles encountered on the trail, while the side stand comes in handy when stopping away from the paddock area.

LARGE-DIAMETER BRAKES

The KX250 brake package optimised for cross-country riding includes a large-diameter ø270 mm front disc complemented by a ø240 mm disc at the rear, KX450-type front master cylinder and KX250X-specific pads, delivering strong stopping power and a high level of control.

WIDE-STYLE FOOTPEGS

Revised footpeg design as of 2023 is 5 mm wider (front-to-rear) and positioned 3 mm rearward, offering excellent grip, superb feel, and making it easier to weight the pegs.
