Kawasaki KX250F – 2008
The KX250F provides the rider with a perfect mixture of handling, stability and traction that will perform well under any conditions and surfaces. The nimble chassis allows the rider to change direction with ease yet maintains it’s poise across the rough sections at high speed. The suspension settings and geometry give high levels of traction and allow the rider to get the power to the ground even on the slippiest surfaces, especially important to getting a good jump from the gate over competitors.

To ensure Kawasaki racers and teams continue to keep on winning, the ’08 KX250F gets a number of tweaks – detailed changes that our factory riders were particular about on their own machines. Already satisfied with the engine’s performance, racers wanted to minimise the chance of mishaps that could cost time, or worse, result in dropping out of a race. A new shift lever helps maximise shifting performance, and modifications to a number of areas further enhance their reliability.
While keeping high-speed straight-line stability a priority, chassis modifications were aimed at enhancing low-speed cornering performance and overall ride feel. New engine mounts fine-tune the chassis rigidity balance for superb handling in low-speed corners, even more rear wheel traction and an overall lighter feel. Revised suspension settings offer improved ride feel and fine-tune the overall posture of the bike.
And to complement its factory-style tuning, the new KX250F gets the looks to match, with all new factory-style livery.
The new KX250F – tuned for factory racers, for even more race-winning performance.
