“Most powerful yet”
kawasaki unveil KX250 2020 model
With a comprehensive list of new features and key updates, the 2020 model KX250 motocross machine has been unveiled. As the most powerful specification production 250cc four stroke offroader ever available from Kawasaki, the expectations for podium topping results are understandably high.
Continuing the theme of Supercross and
motocross success, the new model year
KX250 will reward the commitment shown
by both professional and eager amateur riders
taking the Kawasaki quarter litre capacity MX
concept to the next level.
Leading the new thinking – and as the result of
Kawasaki official team feedback during the current season – the front fork (along with key engine and
other chassis modifications) illustrates well how
seriously the Akashi factory takes offroad sport.
Chief among the front fork changes is the adoption of
a Kayaba assembly incorporating a new high performance
ø48 mm inverted coilspring fork. The large diameter inner
tubes enable the use of large damping pistons, delivering smooth action and firm damping. Stiffer spring rates front and rear match the KX250’s increased power.
The fork’s improved ability soak up bumps at the initial part of the stroke is complemented by increased firmness for handling large impacts and matched to the rear shock which features dual compression adjustability, allowing highspeed and low speed damping to be tuned separately.
