2018 Kawasaki KX85, KX250F and KX450F

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

From the kids favourite #kx85 all the way to the #kx450f, the entire range of #kawasaki competition off-roaders receives a graphic update for 2018.  

Both the #kx85 small wheel and big wheel get the same graphic refresh meaning that – along with the adult racer #kx250f and #kx450f, the 2018 off-road range is sure to make lime green fans sit up and notice. 

Kawasaki has just unveiled its eagerly awaited 2018 model year MX2 class racing machine with a host of changes for the coming season..  and it’s the most technically advanced yet. 

Revisions to the front fork components and settings are joined by adjustments at the rear for better all-round bump absorption and suspension action.

And action is certainly at the top of the agenda in terms of engine updates. With reduced lap times as the ultimate goal – as well as more emphasis on holeshot acceleration out of the start gate – the new #kx250f sees changes to the fuel injection function, the engineering of the inlet area and a new approach to the exhaust system.

Along with revised Fi settings, the fuel pump pressure is increased for the new season and the injector mounting angle is shallower. In terms of the inlet tract itself, this is reshaped and there is a shorter intake funnel. To complete the picture, the inlet timing is now slightly more advanced than previous models. This matched to a lower compression ratio at 13.4:1 and creates more power and torque over the current machine.   

Contributing to the dual benefits of extra power and torque is a re-shaped exhaust that is both longer and wider as it exits the cylinder head and travels towards the silencer. The result? Better bottom end and mid-range, improved power feeling across the entire rev range and smoother power engagement effectively making the high RPM range even easier to use.

Focussing on the holeshot advantage, smooth, easy power and torque plus innovative upgrades, the new 2018 #kx250f boldly starts as it means to go on, as quarter litre first choice in MX.
