KAWASAKI ANNOUNCES NEW AND RETURNING 2022 OFF-ROAD MODELS

2022 KX112 sets new youth competition standards

Kawasaki is happy to announce its 2022 off-road two and four-wheel vehicles lineup, including the introduction of a newcomer to its off-road competition motorcycle line, the 2022 KX112.

KX112

This year, the all-new KX112 ups the performance ante on the youth competition front. In addition to a new 112cc engine, the 2022 KX112 also gets an updated 6-speed transmission as well as redesigned bodywork for improved airflow and ergonomics. For 2022, Kawasaki also updated its popular KX85 with the same 6-speed transmission updates as the KX112 as well as new shrouds.

KX250X

The rest of the KX family carries over and is ready for yet another season of competition. The 2022 KX450X and KX250X introduced last year remain class-leading cross-country warriors. Armed with an 18-inch rear wheel, skid plate, and side stand, the KX450X and KX250X are ready to take on any terrain you put them on.
