The KFX450R was designed with everything to keep it ahead of the pack, whether it’s ridden on the track or trail. Its engine comes straight from the World Supercross Championship-winning KX450F with the addition of digital fuel injection and a reverse gear for backing out of tight situations. The all new aluminum frame is both lightweight and rigid, plus it’s designed for superb handling and to allow the KFX450R to maximize traction without wasted wheelspin. Kawasaki made the KFX450R race-ready so that extensive, and expensive, modifications are unnecessary to put it ahead of the pack.
