Kawasaki has significantly reduced the price of its KLX 230 motorcycle in India by ₹1.30 lakh, bringing the ex-showroom price down from ₹3.33 lakh to ₹1.99 lakh. This major price cut positions the KLX 230 as a highly attractive option in the affordable off-road motorcycle segment, directly challenging Hero’s popular XPulse 210.

The significant price reduction on the KLX 230 leverages its local manufacturing status, making Kawasaki's off-roader a formidable contender to the Hero XPulse 210. While the XPulse offers marginally more power and a liquid-cooled engine, the KLX 230's lighter weight, superior suspension travel, and revised price point make it an enticing choice for buyers seeking affordable dual-sport motorcycles.
This price move is expected to intensify competition in the affordable adventure bike segment, offering consumers more value-packed options to fulfill their off-road riding aspirations.
