Apart from the KLX230, the track-only KLX230R S has also become cheaper by Rs 15,000 with final pricing at Rs 1.79 lakh in India.
Kawasaki India has slashed the price of the KLX230 and KLX230R S by Rs 16,000 and Rs 15,000, respectively, in the country. Both the bikes now attract 18 percent GST as compared to 28 percent earlier. The 2025 GST reforms, which came into effect from Sep 22, put all motorcycles with engine capacity of up to 350cc in the tax bracket of 18 percent, thus making them cheaper than before for the customers. For those asking, Kawasaki KLX230 is a road legal adventure bike while the KLX230R S is specifically for riding on track.
Kawasaki KLX230 Price GST 2.0
Earlier this year in Aug, Kawasaki had commenced the local production of the KLX230 and hence it subsequently resulted in a massive price of Rs 1.30. The new model was priced at Rs 1.99 lakh post the beginning of local manufacturing in India. However, the price has further come down to around Rs 1.84 lakh due to the GST revision, thus making it a great value-for-money purchase.
Before the commencement of local production, Kawasaki KLW230 was sold via the CBU route at a much higher price of Rs 3.30 lakh. After multiple price reductions, it matches the price range of its arch rival Hero Xpulse 210 which comes in a range of Rs 1.62-1.71 lakh. The KLX230 is available in two colour schemes namely Lime Green and Battle Gray/ Bright White/ Ebony.
Underpinning a high-tensile steel perimeter chassis, Kawasaki KLX230 comes with several premium features in the form of dual-LED headlamp, 21-inch front wheel, switchable ABS, and all-digital LCD instrument cluster among many others. At the heart, it has a 233c single-cylinder air-cooled engine which generates max power of 18.4 bhp and peak torque of 19 Nm while linked to a 6-speed gearbox.
Kawasaki KLX230R S Price GST 2.0
The track-only KLX230R S was earlier priced at Rs 5.21 lakh. However, in Aug 2025, post local production, the price drastically came down to Rs 1.94 lakh with a massive reduction by Rs 3.27 lakh. Now once again, it has been further slashed by Rs 15,000 and thus bringing down the final price to Rs 1.79 lakh due to the 2025 GST reforms. The KLX230R S is produced at Kawasaki’s factory in Chakan (Pune) with localization of over 95 percent.
The non-road legal KLX230R S misses out on several regular features such as ORVMs, headlights, turn indicators and grab rails. It is retailed in a single fully-loaded variant in Lime Green paint option. Mechanically, it carries the same engine and gearbox setup that the buyers get with the standard KLX230.
