Additional Vehicle Features

  • All-digital multi-function instrumentation
  • Lightweight perimeter frame

  • Heat management for rider comfort
  • Comfortable ergonomics

Comfortable Ergonomics

  • MAKE COMFORT A PRIORITY: An upright and relaxed riding position makes it comfortable to ride the KLX®300SM motorcycle. Rider-friendly ergonomics are complemented by a thick-padded seat, rubber-dampened footpegs, and a 33.9-in seat height that allows riders to comfortably reach the ground at stops which increases confidence. The innovative radiator fan directs hot air down and away from the rider and from high-touch areas for added comfort in traffic. The shroud design allows smooth transitions when shifting, enabling riders to feel more at one with their machine when cornering.

Power and Performance

  • DELIVER THE EXCITEMENT: The KLX®300SM ultimate lightweight supermoto motorcycle is powered by a 292cc fuel-injected liquid-cooled engine. Experience a rewarding spread of power across the rev range. Smooth power delivery and crisp throttle response help riders of all skill levels maneuver through stop-and-go city traffic, navigate country back roads, or experience the exhilaration of supermoto racing at their local track. Electric start offers easy starting; fuel injection helps with reliable starting in a wide range of conditions and contributes to excellent fuel economy.

Supermoto Style

  • ALL ATTITUDE. NO APOLOGIES.: The KLX®300SM supermoto features KX™ motocross-inspired styling for a fresh, sporty look. Streamlined bodywork creates a sharp design that flows from the compact headlamp to the condensed tail, hinting at the versatile performance that riders can expect from this agile street fighter. The compact LED headlight in a slim, sharp front cowl offers remarkable brightness and style. The 2-tone seat contributes to a dynamic, sporty look similar to Kawasaki’s KX motocross machines. From the cockpit, all-digital instrumentation is on display, including a digital speedometer, bar-type tachometer, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, and a range of warning/indicator lamps.

Supermoto-Tuned Performance

  • TAKE THE FUN TO THE STREETS: The KLX®300SM motorcycle is built with a slim, lightweight perimeter frame that’s maneuverable but rigid at higher speeds to help with straight-line stability. The smaller front wheel, the caster angle (25°), and short wheelbase contribute to quick handling. Suspension performance offers 9.1 in of travel up front and 8.1 in in the rear, ideal for supermoto riding. The 43mm inverted cartridge-style front fork has adjustable compression damping to optimize suspension performance. The Uni-Trak® rear suspension offers compression and rebound damping adjustability and fully adjustable preload, allowing riders to tailor shock settings to personal preference. Substantial braking power comes from a powerful, large 300mm semi-floating petal disc and twin-piston caliper up front and a 240mm petal disc and single-piston caliper in the rear. Agile supermoto performance is further enabled with 17-in wheels and road tires contributing to better handling on the street.
