2018 Kawasaki KX 250F features upgraded engine with more power and torque; suspension has been revised for better rider control

Kawasaki’s portfolio has certainly been increasing in recent years as evident from the presence of KLX 110, KX 100 and KX 250F motocross-derived bikes and recently the trail-based KLX 140G introduced earlier in 2017. The Japanese manufacturer has brought another product to India now as the new version of the KX 250F is launched within a few weeks of its global debut.

Priced at Rs. 7.52 lakh (ex-showroom, pan India), the non-road-legal 2018 KX 250F is clearly aimed at enthusiasts or professional or amateur motocross racers from the get-go. It is the most powerful motocross bike Kawasaki sells in India. The KX 250F is not for the faint-hearted as experienced pros will get a hang of it quickly but for the starters there are better options available down the range like KLX 110 and KLX 140.
