The 2021 Kawasaki KX250/KX250X: Motocross & Cross Country Power
Contents
The KX250 and KX250X are two versions of the same model by Kawasaki Motorcycles in the 2021 model lineup. The KX250 is designed from the get-go to be a fully competition ready, strong motocross bike, while the KX250X is oriented towards cross-country and scrambling competitions. Both bikes use a 249cc liquid-cooled four-stroke single, developing just under 40 HP and just over 18 lb-ft of torque.
The Japanese company has made sure that the motorcycle comes ready for either form of competition, with fully-adjustable front and rear suspension, competition grade petal-disc style brakes, massive 13.2 inch ground clearance, and the exhaust routed up and under the tail to keep it safe from impacts. The KX250X also has a thicker bash plate under the engine, and a slightly wider rear tire to provide better grip in cases of doing hill scrambles or rock crawls.
The 2021 Kawasaki KX250 starts at $8,299 USD / $9,699 CAD, with the KX250X version coming in $100 more expensive respectively, in both markets.

KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode)
Designed to assist riders by optimizing acceleration from a stop, KLCM electronically manages engine output to minimize wheel spin when moving off. With the clutch lever pulled in and the system activated, engine speed is limited to a determined speed while the rider holds the throttle open. Once the rider releases the clutch lever to engage the clutch, engine speed is allowed to increase, but power is regulated to minimize wheel spin and help keep the front wheel on the ground. The system disengages automatically once a predetermined speed has been reached, or when the rider shifts into third gear. Depending on the model, riders can choose from multiple modes, each offering a progressively greater level of intrusion.ERGO-FIT®
Proper fit is key for rider comfort and control. However, the ideal fit varies from rider to rider, depending on their physical dimensions and riding style.ERGO-FIT® is an interface system designed to allow riders to find their ideal riding position. Various points of the chassis interface (the handlebar, footpegs and seat, etc.) can be adjusted through a combination of interchangeable parts and parts with adjustable positions. This enables a wide range of riders to find a riding position that offers both comfort and control. Feeling at one with their machine, they will be able to experience how Kawasaki machines are fun and rewarding to ride.
*Adjustable parts and their range of adjustability vary by model.
