OVERVIEW

New valve springs feature a higher spring rate to match the higher rev limit.

A revised combustion chamber design and a flatter piston crown help to increase performance. A dry film lubricant coating on the piston skirts reduces friction at low rpm and helps with the bedding-in process.

A longer connecting rod decreases the lateral force on the cylinder walls as the piston moves. The result is reduced mechanical loss for improved efficiency and performance.

The new electric start makes for quick and easy engine starting at the push of a button.

A new lower triple-clamp reduces weight and contributes to the ability of the front suspension to absorb bumps. Revised linkage ratios add to increased bump absorption and improved damping performance. Suspension settings have been fine-tuned, optimized to match the new frame.

The new front brake master cylinder offers a high level of control with great feedback from the front brake. The new, 240mm diameter rear disc offers performance specialized for the all-new KX™250 motorcycle, adding to controllability for total riding confidence.

Slimmer radiator shrouds are positioned closer to the frame to facilitate improved grip for the rider's legs.

The top of the fuel tank features a revised design that allows an even flatter progression from the seat to the tank. The result is greater freedom of movement when changing riding position. The seat features a slip-resistant top surface and smooth sides for an excellent balance of grip and mobility.

Class-leading ERGO-FIT® adjustability allows riders to tailor the motorcycle to their body size, riding style and preference with four-way adjustable handlebar positions and two footpeg positions to choose from.

In-mold graphics on the shrouds result in an ultra-smooth surface, greatly extending the life of the race-style graphics.
