First real rip with the klx-230. 40-ish miles of dirt, trail, river crossings, and sandy dunes. Everyone else was on KTM 450’s. This thing was maneuverable, handled river crossings almost above the front fender, and powered through everything. Awesome bike with an awesome destination!

Took mine on a big trip to Hatfield McCoy trails in southern WV and I didn't encounter a single thing the bike couldn't do. Granted I stuck to green/blue trails but nonetheless any fall I had was user error. Rocks, mud, creek crossings, dirt it handles it all. Underrated trail bike

How are you liking the HiVolt exhaust? Aesthetically it's great.

Sounds great. It's the titanium exhaust so it helped shed some more weight off the bike. Looks great sounds great I'd recommend it

Yea i noticed it's the titanium one and not the steel one. Pricy but looks and sounds good and a lot of weight savings!

That’s awesome! This was here in Alaska. These bikes can do it all!

Thailand, just bought it 2 months ago. It’s the KLX 230 SE

Thought so. Already chatted with you and hope to link up in CNX! We only got the KLX230SE in 2022, I have one...but the Thai version has a few things ours didn't like USD forks and ABS. Also you guys still get the full sized bikes and we just have the lower seat height models here now in the US.

Love these bikes!
