Kawasaki India has introduced two new off-road motorcycles in the market, following the launch of the entry level KLX110.

The Kawasaki KX450F is powered by a 450cc, fuel injected engine that's mated to a five-speed gearbox. Kawasaki says that the KX450F is the lightest motorcycle in its segment and it has managed to do achieve this by reducing the weight of the engine and chassis. The kerb weight of the motorcycle is 108kg.
The bike has a 49mm Showa separate function forks upfront and Uni-Track monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 270mm petal disc at the front and 240mm petal disc at the rear. The Kawasaki KX450F also gets launch control.

Speaking about the introduction of the new off-road motorcycles, Yutaka Yamashita, managing director, Kawasaki India said " The culture and passion for off road motorcycle need be developed in India. Right now it is a niche market and we are happy to contribute in this segment by introducing KX450F, which was awarded as world's best motocrosser in 2016."
