Kawasaki’s new two-strokes are here – KX327 and KX327X
Two models – one engine
At the heart of both models is an all-new 327cc two-stroke engine with fuel injection – the first time Kawasaki has used the technology on a two-stroke. The engine is liquid-cooled and both models feature electric start and two riding modes. Via the Rideology KX2 app, riders can monitor riding logs, engine data and maintenance reminders in real time.
The chassis is based on Kawasaki’s proven KX450F platform with an aluminium frame tailored to each model.
Front suspension is handled by a 48mm KYB fork, whilst the rear uses Kawasaki’s own Uni-Trak system with adjustable damping. Brakes are by Nissin. The KX327 is the dedicated motocross version. The KX327X is the enduro variant, equipped with hand guards, a skid plate and a side stand as standard, with a total weight of 106 kg.
