PT. Kawasaki Motor Indonesia (KMI) on June 5 yesterday again presents the latest variant, KLX 150 KLX 150 Offroad with a claim that has been perfected. This new model is believed to KMI is ready to be invited to scratch the ground because there are some changes that support for the change. But is it really?
Now let us examine this type of alteration according to unofficial information of KMI. The New KLX has great torque is 12 N.m / 6500 rpm. An increase of about 0.7 N.m than the previous type. This power is needed when off-road because it will make more sip bulldoze obstacles.
Extra effort is also supported by changes in the final reduction ratio is also greater than ever before. KLX Offroad use 57/13 or 4385. The suspension is also fully adjustable so as to create a better performance on the track offroad.
The most cool thing is the weight which is now much more easily. Because using a wheel and swingarm are made from aluminum, the weight of the motor is now only 99 kg. Plus because the muffler and tank are made using lighter materials. Wah weight lightly like this is really necessary when offroad.
Offroadnya character is also supported by road clearance higher than ever before, which is 315 mm making it easier when facing rough terrain. Seat height 860 mm high which makes it easier to set foot on the ground.
