Design
The same teaser video clearly shows that the new Kawasaki KLE 500 is designed with full adventure riding in mind. It has a 21-inch front spoke wheel, making it perfect for off-roading.
In addition, the bike has features such as long-travel suspension, split seats, and upswept exhaust, giving it the look of a true dual-sport machine. The front uses a dual LED headlamp setup and a large windscreen, which will help reduce air pressure during long trips.
Also, hand guards are also given on the handle which gives protection during riding as well as a more rough-and-tuff look to the bike.
Engine
Now let’s talk about engine, according to reports, the Kawasaki KLE 500 will be given the same 500cc parallel-twin engine that already exists in the Eliminator 500.
This engine generates power of about 45 bhp and is strong enough in terms of low-end torque, giving the bike excellent performance during off-roading. This motor is known for its smoothness and refined nature, making it a great companion for long journeys.
This engine can be connected to a 6-speed gearbox, which will make it comfortable and fuel-efficient even on the highway.
Experience
However the KLE 500 is designed to perform brilliantly in both city rides and off-road trails. Its ergonomic riding posture and comfortable seat height will reduce fatigue in long rides.
Also, thanks to dual-purpose tyres and advanced suspension setup, the bike will remain stable and in control on all types of routes. Whether it is highway, mountain track or raw rot, the KLE 500 will remain everywhere like its name “adventurous”.

Kawasaki can bring it to India as a CKD (Completely Knocked Down) unit, which will keep its price competitive.
