TOP FEATURES |
RACE-READY POWER
STRONGER THAN EVER
On the KX™250 motorcycle, an aligned intake and new, centrally-positioned, straight exhaust port deliver higher airflow efficiency, strong overrun, and smooth, low-rpm torque for improved power when you need it most—when riding at low-end speeds, up hills, or under loads.
RACE-READY POWER
LOW-END POWER
Complementing the new engine’s higher airflow efficiency, the intake camshaft is 10mm higher and the exhaust valve angle is 1-degree narrower, both updates providing better performance at low rpm. The cylinder is offset 3mm forward and inclined by 5 degrees to suit the new exhaust/intake layout. Increased low-end torque pairs with more linear throttle control for smoother acceleration and optimum traction.
RACE-READY POWER
EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE
A new, single-shaft primary engine balancer contributes to smoother power delivery and reduced vibration, improving throttle control, especially when exiting especially tight corners.
