Xpulse is a mix of little bit of offroad, touring and daily commuting KLX 230 is purely built for offroading purpose only. Both are of different segments if you see the purpose.
This might be better than regular Xpulse off road. But the Xpulse rally will be closer to this in off road performance. Also Xpulse would definitely be light on your pocket to buy and maintain. I definitely appreciate Kawasaki bringing in this one while others are trying to make same scooters and aim headlights to the moon. There definitely would be some enthusiasts to pick this one up for sure.
Bro! Malayali aanu alle.. 🤜🤛 neat review.. nice bike but it's price is gonna be a dampener man! We are Indians and we love value for money. The Xpulse seems quite close in performance.. since you have ridden both, do tell us how different they are.. and what would we miss if we chose the Xpulse over the Kawi? comparo time!! Probably stick in the Himalayan and Yezdi Adventure for fun. What say? 👍✌️
Dirt bikes/ Trail bikes should be cheap to fix once anything gets broken in the fall we have on trail, and this one will not going to be so cheap to fix considering the how kawa is with parts prices and availability. Beating xpulse on overall ownership cost and affordability will be difficult, but again this will cater to the higer segment buyers who already have a premium or higher segment motorcycle.
a premium price for this motorcycle will be a huge turn off for Indian consumers especially when the legendary Xpulse with its new 210 cc is around the corner. It needs to be priced under 2 lakh.
Xpulse Rival at over thrice the price and ~7L tank, in a mostly single bike garage country like India? Really? Especially with the newer Xpulse 210 around the corner?
Can the Kawasaki KLX 230 be the perfect off-roader? No. The perfect off-roader for Indian conditions is the Xpulse 200 with the XMR's engine bolted on to it.
Nothing can beat the service network and spare parts network of xpulse. And looking at the performance I think it will only be close or slightly better than xpulse. And still the xpulse rally is a tough competitor for this in offroads. Adding on top xpulse can do touring very well. Leave tank range you cant even think of loading your luggage there in klx. Anytime proud xpulse owner 💥💥
Just buy an Xpulse. Xpulse is cheaper, capable and parts are abundunt (No CKD nonsense and no worry about breaking stuff). The Kawasaki 230cc engine is going to be very similar powerwise. One place where Kawasaki might be better is weight.
Video has lot of flashy orange thing which is unnecessary and irritating
Haa yaar. Aisa lagta hai ki yeh loog KTM ko lalkar rahe hai ki kaab ayega tumlogo ka dirtbike.
It's a effect ✨ , they add it almost in every video. It looks good but in this video they added it too much
Exactly.. unnecessary n irritating...👎
Apologies!
Xpulse is a mix of little bit of offroad, touring and daily commuting
KLX 230 is purely built for offroading purpose only.
Both are of different segments if you see the purpose.
Question is can you push the xpulse to it's limit where you may require this kind of so called offroader.
So I wanna know which one is better overall??
Is KlX fit for daily commuting?
Bingo
This might be better than regular Xpulse off road. But the Xpulse rally will be closer to this in off road performance. Also Xpulse would definitely be light on your pocket to buy and maintain.

The Xpulse Rally is a fun little thing
Hey, xpulse 210 jus dropped 🤤🤩🥳 check it out.
@@MrLikea8055 yes. Looks better and hope that 24ps gives better Highway ability
Kawasaki and the Saree Guards are a pair made in heaven😅
Foreverrrr!
I have been waiting for many long years
A Proper off-road bike ❤
Does this fit the bill?

Yeah, it's definitely a niche market.
Welcome to powerdrift mister 💪🏻Malayali ❤️🔥✨ mWoNe review pwoli
:D
Xpulse 19.17 hp @ 8500 rpm
Torgue: 17.35 Nm @6500 rpm
Correct
Ll definitely but this. Perfect offroader and even tourer
We aren't sure of the touring bit just yet. The tank capacity?
Can't wait for the 230SM supermoto version. I hope they launch that in India
We hope so too
Eda mone ❤😅 ith ne Alle
Nice but missing varun painter who can give proper justice to this machine. Speedy recovery 💐
What happened to him?
@@Mathewsbparayil leg injury
VP will be back very soon
Namaskaaram 🙏
Welcome!
Yamaha India needs to get into the offroad game now. XTZ 150/250 or even WR 155/250 may be...
Well well well!
Whare is lunch date and if possible EMI payment
So which one is better?
This 230 klx or the xpulse 200 4v pro??
A comparo very very soon.
Hey, xpulse 210 jus dropped 🤤🤩🥳 check it out.
@@MrLikea8055 the 210 is lookin sick🔥🔥
Waiting for it to launch...
Does it really have an rpm meter? Because the instrument cluster seems like it doesn't have it.
Kawasaki is too late to party, xpulse is going to updated with 210cc engine and slated for release in Nov 2024.
There's an even bigger engine that Hero is working on
Not that the saree guard looks off but does not compute other than that fire 🔥🔥🔥
Norms! Gotta adhere to those.
@@powerdriftofficial got it !
We need more bikes like this for Tamilnadu streets with no roads🤨
Braap
Da Mone ❤
a premium price for this motorcycle will be a huge turn off for Indian consumers especially when the legendary Xpulse with its new 210 cc is around the corner. It needs to be priced under 2 lakh.
Looks difficult but we are optimistic!
What was about heating issue
Too short a ride to figure things out
Does it come in navy blue ?
Kawasaki in Blue?
To do an extensive on and off road testing the bike doesn't have enough space for petrol, rest I don't think needs to be checked.
Yeah, the fuel tank capacity is a bummer
If priced ..its my next monsoon purchase 🥹
What are you expecting?
Xpulse Rival at over thrice the price and ~7L tank, in a mostly single bike garage country like India? Really? Especially with the newer Xpulse 210 around the corner?
Not thrice the price for sure.
I have a green clour impulse it looks sooo much similar
Ahhh nice
Whats the height of the person? As the bike seat is slim so even with taller seat height it would allow one to flat foot atleast one side.
Rider AT is 5'9". Its a tall bike for everyone
I will buy when they change the colour and put tubess tryes.
Tubeless ain't happening
Am I only the one who's getting the vibe from power rangers ninja storms of those dirt bike stunts from review? 😂
Same ❤
hahahaha
No doubt it will be around 3 to 4 lakh range cz kawasaki boxer kinda 175 itself costs like hell
The W175 you mean?
@powerdriftofficial exactly. Thanks for your response!
KLR 650….that was the one to bring.
No one buys Dirt bikes in india bro..
@@RAXITH_playztrue..
Well, India as a country isn't open to that format yet
@@powerdriftofficial exactly
Can the Kawasaki KLX 230 be the perfect off-roader?
No. The perfect off-roader for Indian conditions is the Xpulse 200 with the XMR's engine bolted on to it.
But the XMR's engine does not feel as engaging as the 4V's setup
Why does everything on this bike looks so inferior and cheap by the looks?
Maybe because you are not familiar with how dual sport bike looks
It's a proper budget beginner friendly off-road bike. And while xpulse is heavy and it's frame looks like it's based on family commute bike.
Miss those designs like Pulsar, karizma R, CBZ, etc best old days
Because the Japanese suck at aesthetics and it takes years for them to understand that.
For cheap fix later on 😅😂
New recruits can only talk but they are not rider😊
Rider AT is skilled. Revs till the redline

CH,@PREEZZ WILL RUIN IT !!
The effort you took to make sure this isn't counted as spam
Should come under 3
We think so too
I loved it
Hell yeah
Xpulse200 finished.
What did you like in the KLX here?
Power figures not impressive....25 bhp would have been a bang for buck @ that weight
Appreciate the comment
Nothing can beat the service network and spare parts network of xpulse. And looking at the performance I think it will only be close or slightly better than xpulse. And still the xpulse rally is a tough competitor for this in offroads. Adding on top xpulse can do touring very well. Leave tank range you cant even think of loading your luggage there in klx. Anytime proud xpulse owner 💥💥
The Xpulse Pro is more competition than the standard.
Dude, why are you wearing KTM jersey while testing the Kawasaki?
It's a rynox Jersey.
Everything orange cannot be KTM :P
Eda mone... de poyi da vannu
If it has similar power, inferior suspension, high price and zero appeal why would I buy a kawasaki if I can buy a xpulse 4v?
Nobody stopping you :)
No one will buy if this sits above 2lacs. Also Kawasaki will have to localise to keep the costs down and compete with the upcoming Xpulse 210
And looks like it will sit above 2L
It's best Kawasaki manufacturers this bike in india for a fighting price 😒 or it's gonna have the sales of Ninja 300
But the Ninja 300 sells. Limited number but it does.
@powerdriftofficial yes but made in india brings the prices down 🙂
Mallu anno 😁😁😁
നമസ്കാരം 🙏🏽
Road legal?
Yes
Yes.
This warrior is dead on arrival 🤣 for a price tag of 5 lacs
Won't be that expensive for sure

And we hear there's a bigger one coming
Lose the helmet while speaking. You're not the stig.
Rider AT will be revealed soon
Not impressed .... Kawasaki thats why you don't grow in India ...
That low height overseas model is better ......
Purpose built this one no
880 mm seat height, not interested any more.
Does these foreign brands not know how to sell bikes in india??
These motorcycles are purpose built
RIP xpulse
What do you like about the KLX the most?
