LED headlights and taillights, a small windscreen, a split seat arrangement, a dual-exit exhaust, an engine under cowl, and knuckle guards are all standard on the V-Strom SX. Since every other adventure motorcycle in the market has a liquid-cooled engine, this one is the only one with an oil-cooled engine. When coupled with a 6-speed transmission, the 249cc single-cylinder powertrain produces 26.1 bhp and 22.2 Nm.

Because of the domestic production, Kawasaki was able to lower the price of the KLX 230 by Rs. 1.30 lakh in August.

This holiday season, the adventure motorcycle is available for Rs. 3.04 lakh (ex-showroom) thanks to KTM’s absorption of the GST 2.0 price increase.
