Performance Tech

• INNOVATED TO WIN: In today’s ultra-competitive motocross landscape, success at the highest level is aided through advanced tech. The KX™250 motorcycle is equipped with smartphone connectivity and electronic controls sourced directly from Kawasaki factory racing efforts, placing race-proven functionality at your fingertips.
• SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY: One of Kawasaki’s flagship technologies, RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX™, is available on the KX™250 motorcycle. With this game-changing tech, riders can calibrate engine mapping, monitor engine telemetry, track maintenance schedules, and more.
• TRACTION MANAGEMENT: The KX™250 motorcycle features Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) at the push of a button. Using the Traction (T) button on the left handlebar, riders can quickly select from 2 levels (Weak, Strong) of control to suit conditions and preference. Riders may also elect to turn the system off.
• ADAPT YOUR RIDING STYLE: Using the Mode (M) button on the left handlebar, riders can easily switch between 2 engine maps (Normal and Aggressive) provided in the ECU.
• EVERY SECOND COUNTS: A factory-style launch control system helps put the KX™250 motorcycle’s power to the ground for maximum acceleration. By pushing the Mode and Traction buttons simultaneously, you activate the launch control system for an efficient race start in low-traction conditions. The holeshot is yours for the taking.

Race-Ready Power

• LEAD THE PACK: Victory starts with the KX™250 motorcycle’s potent 249cc engine. The anatomy of this race-winning engine includes finger-follower valve actuation, a downdraft-style intake, and dual injectors. This KX250 is the most competitive racing package to date, based on our championship-proven 250-class platform that’s dominated motocross for decades.
• STRONG AS EVER: On the KX™250 motorcycle, an aligned intake and centrally positioned, straight exhaust port deliver high airflow efficiency, strong overrun, and smooth, low-rpm torque for power when you need it most—when riding at low-end speeds, up hills, or under loads.
• LOW-END POWER: Strong low-end torque pairs with linear throttle control for smooth acceleration and optimum traction.
• EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE: A single-shaft primary engine balancer contributes to smooth power delivery and reduced vibration, improving throttle control especially when exiting tight corners.
