ON SALE NO ADDED FREIGHT OR SETUP CHARGES! The KX™ legacy represents a long line of champions. The drive to produce more has not slowed down. Our all-new flagship race machine, the KX™450 motorcycle, offers next-level engineering and power to dominate the track. Over the decades, we've learned what it takes to win and stay on top. The KX450 embodies this legacy to the fullest. FEATURES Power & Performance BUILT TO WIN: The updated KX™450 engine delivers broad, useable torque and strong, responsive power across the rev range. From the starting gate to the finish line, this race-ready machine is built to stay ahead of the pack. POWER THROUGH THE FINISH: The powerful 449cc engine features a redesigned downdraft intake layout, new cylinder head, and new centrally positioned straight exhaust port for high airflow efficiency to deliver increased power across the rev-range. PULL AHEAD: A flat torque curve makes it easier to get on the gas sooner, delivering smooth and powerful acceleration to pass the competition and keep you ahead of the pack. RELIABLE STARTING: Being able to restart your engine quickly after a stall can make or break a race. Powered by a compact and lightweight Li-ion battery and supported by an automatic centrifugal decompression system, all it takes is the push of a button to start up. Race-Ready Suspension LEAVE THEM IN THE DUST: Take the lead with proven race-winning performance. The highly adjustable suspension package delivers smooth action, firm damping, and contributes to optimal traction. RACE READY: The 49mm Showa Coil Spring Front Fork combined with A-KIT Technology deliver excellent handling. Large-diameter inner tubes allow the use of large damping pistons for race-winning performance while a large-diameter front axle provides exceptional front-wheel traction. CHAMPIONSHIP PROVEN: The Uni-Trak® rear suspension system features adjustable dual-range (high- and low-speed) compression damping, adjustable rebound damping, and adjustable preload. The result is optimal damping and rear-wheel traction. Advanced Technology RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE: With traction adjustability and power mode control at your fingertips, the KX™450 motorcycle offers superior features designed to inspire confidence. What's more, this race-ready machine is backed by decades of championship-proven experience. CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS: Offered for the first time ever on KX™450, Power Mode selection and Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) is now available at the push of a button on the handlebar. These features enable riders to quickly adjust power delivery and traction for conditions and preference. SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY: Thanks to smartphone connectivity, riders can adjust engine mapping straight from their phones via RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX, without the need for extra equipment. EVERY SECOND COUNTS: A factory-style launch control system helps put the bike’s power to the ground for maximum acceleration at the start of the race, making the holeshot yours for the taking. LIGHT PULL & SELF-ADJUSTING: A coned disc-spring hydraulic clutch offers light clutch pull and a wide engagement range. Large diameter plates provide enhanced fade resistance. Chassis & Ergonomics MADE TO SHAVE LAP TIMES: Experience the race-winning advantage of a strong and lightweight chassis, agile handling, and exclusive ERGO-FIT® technology. BREMBO BRAKES ADVANCED STOPPING POWER: Next-level stopping power matches incredible acceleration capability. Revised brake components include drilled Braking/Sunstar discs (270/240mm) paired with a Brembo caliper and master cylinder at the front and a Nissin caliper and master cylinder at the rear. The high-performance system offers increased controllability on the brakes, contributing to enhanced corner entry. BALANCE MEETS PRECISION: New lightweight aluminum perimeter frame accommodates the updates to the engine’s intake and exhaust systems, while delivering a high level of both light, nimble handling and a composed character. Optimized rigidity balance contributes to increased front-end feel that translates to improved cornering performance in a wider range of conditions. GET A GRIP: Wide footpegs ensure excellent grip for optimum comfort and control, and make it easier to weight the pegs. PERFECT FIT: Find your best performance with the Kawasaki ERGO-FIT® advantage. Four handlebar positions and two footpeg positions allow you to tailor the KX™450 motorcycle to your body size, riding style, and preference. ERGONOMIC BODYWORK: Newly designed shrouds, side panels, and rear fender are firmer and eliminate hooking points, further facilitating rider movement. RENTHAL® FATBAR® HANDLEBAR & ODI LOCK-ON GRIPS: A factory-style aluminum Renthal® Fatbar® handlebar comes standard. New medium-compound ODI Lock-On Grips offer excellent grip feel, while their screw-type fastening system greatly facilitates the task of swapping grips. IMPROVED ACCESS: A new quick-release side cover can be removed without tools, allowing for easier access to the air filter element.
