A New 2-Stroke KX Built For The Wild
Amid global enthusiastic anticipation, details have now been revealed for Kawasaki’s re-entry into the off-road adult two-stroke category. And the big news is that it is not one bike but two that will make their debuts for 2027.
KX327
KX327X
Both the KX327X and KX327 feature Kawasaki’s first fuel-injected 2-stroke single-cylinder engine ushering in a new era of performance and delivering consistent torque in an incredibly lightweight package.
The new engine offers a linear power character with crisp throttle response and strong traction at ultra-low RPMs. A lightweight KX aluminium perimeter frame, pairs with factory-style suspension and Nissin brakes to create the ultimate 2-stroke race machine, built to get you to the podium in either cross country and enduro environment for the KX327X, or motocross tracks for the KX327.
Featuring electric starting and meticulously designed expansion chamber style exhausts systems and a specially designed exhaust power valve prioritise not just power but smooth, uniform torque. Additionally, each machine has power mode selection via a handlebar mounted switch.
A specially designed dual-injection system delivers excellent throttle response and a flat torque character while automatic FI compensation eliminates the need for jetting adjustments to suit changes in altitude or weather conditions. For smoother power delivery and reduced vibration, a single-shaft primary engine balancer has been incorporated while the fuel/oil ratio of the simple yet effective pre-mix is rated at 32:1.
The KX327X enjoys sleek and contemporary styling for its ergonomically focused bodywork which encloses an 8.5l fuel tank supported by a lightweight aluminium perimeter chassis. The six speed close ratio transmission – complete with ultra-low first gear – additionally benefits from hydraulic clutch actuation.
With a KYB 48mm coil-spring front fork and Kawasaki’s legendary Uni-Trak rear suspension physical fine tuning is available via Ergo-Fit multi adjustment of handlebars and footrests while mapping and other modifications are possible via Smartphone using Rideology the App KX2. Add ODI lock-on grips and quick-release side covers for easy air filter access and the performance and practicality of KX327X clearly reveals itself.
For track riders in 2027, Kawasaki will offer the KX327. Sharing much of the specification of its sibling, the KX327 utilises one less ratio to make a five speed transmission plus the adoption of a 19 inch rear wheel compared to the 18 inch item of the KX327X. Both machines are equipped with Renthal handlebars and EXCEL wheel rims.
So the waiting is nearly over and the rumours are true, Kawasaki IS making two stroke adult enduro and motocross machines. The final question is “what colour?” – Lime Green, of course! Kawasaki KX, the Bike that Builds Champions.
The KX327 and KX327X will be available from January, with pricing TBC.
2027 Kawasaki KX250F, KX450F And Youth Range Unveiled
Fresh from winning the 2025 MXGP World Championship with Romain Febvre and the KX450,Kawasaki has unveiled its duo of class-leading adult motocross machines for the2027 season, and the news is that “F is back”. In addition to the big bikes, Kawasaki has also revealed its extensive 2027 youth range.
KX450F
KX250F
Allocated the suffix F in 2027, the new racers are a formidable duo with an extensive list of changes and updates focused on maintaining their place at the front of the pack.
Reflecting feedback from current World Champion, Romain Febvre, the new KX450F is festooned with changes and updates, amongst which the most notable is a brand new frame and swinging-arm assembly. This creates a longer wheelbase, offering improved rear-end traction and controllability, plus enhanced stability thanks to revised front and rear suspension settings. Along with engine and other changes, the overall package contributes to improved all-round performance.
Speaking of the engine, thanks to revised intake and exhaust systems and optimised fuel injection settings, performance has improved with a more aggressive engine feeling. Stronger low-end power feel is complemented by improved power in the mid-high range, such as when accelerating out of high-speed corners.
On the tech side, the Power Mode button on the left handlebar lets riders quickly switch between two engine map settings. Additionally, two traction control (KTRC) settings can be selected from a handlebar switch that, along with the Power Mode setting, can be fine-tuned via the updated RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX2. A factory-style Launch Control mode offers an updated system that includes a rev-limit control function, allowing riders to focus on the best possible start.
Making a 2027 debut is a Brembo front and rear braking package with both calipers and master cylinders being Brembo complemented by steel mesh brake hoses. Adding convenience, both the handlebars and footpegs are Kawasaki ERGO-FIT multi-adjustable, facilitating maximum control. Rounding out the larger machine is a new slim bodywork, boasting a colour scheme that maximises the Lime Green impact while adding blue to unify across Kawasaki’s performance motorcycle models.
Sharing that fresh new vibrancy is the 2027 KX250F, a machine that also enjoys an impressive slew of updates for the upcoming season, including refinements to the combustion chamber design, an increased exhaust pipe length, and an optimised, smaller-bodied silencer, which contribute to stronger power across the rev range. A smoother, more hemispherical combustion chamber profile allows the initial flame kernel to grow more rapidly after ignition, increasing combustion speed and improving combustion efficiency. As a result, peak power increases by 0.5 kW and peak torque by 0.3 N?m.
Complementing these changes, updated FI settings offer sharper, more linear throttle response. To cope with the upgrades, Kawasaki engineers have also added a larger-capacity hydraulic clutch assembly, with the clutch spring load increased by 15%, to deliver prodigious power to the ground smoothly and progressively.
Enjoying a bodywork refresh that includes the number plate and front fender boasting a new, simple and lightweight design that includes a blue accent in addition to the characteristic Lime Green, the quarter litre model also comes equipped with selectable Power Mode and KTRC Traction Control plus Launch control while look, feel and efficiency are on point with updated coolant hose and front brake hose routing plus internal setting revisions for both front and rear suspension components.
In addition to the big bikes, Kawasaki has also unveiled its off-road youth range for 2027. With class capacities of 65cm3, 85cm3, 110cm3 and 140cm3, the impressive variety of machines makes it easier than ever to gain entry to the world of riding in the starter and leisure classes, laying the groundwork for future off-road and racing ambitions.
An entry-level motorcycle – but with the same attention to detail and build standards as adult machines – the 112cc KLX 110R is a rugged and reliable welcome to the Kawasaki off-road four-stroke stable with kick and electric starting plus a four-speed semi-automatic transmission. The addition of a parent or guardian throttle stop facilitates controlled speed learning in safe conditions, and like its KLX siblings, the KX racing looks are backed up by race-style suspension and full-on Kawasaki build quality.
Further up the scale in terms of engine size is the KLX140 range with no less than three models available in 2027 from the R with its 17inch front and 14-inch rear wheel set-up to the L (large wheel) at 19inch and 16inch respectively, and finally the F (full size) equipped with 21inch at the front and an 18-inch rear wheel.
In terms of youth racing, the water-cooled, two-stroke KX65 is nothing short of a legend. First across the line in thousands of Championships, the smallest KX comes equipped with front and rear disc brakes, Uni-Trak rear suspension, and KX race graphics.
When it is time, riders can move seamlessly up to the KX85, which is available for 2027 in both standard (17-inch front / 14-inch rear) and big wheel (19-inch front / 16-inch rear) versions, taking riders through a pivotal part of their racing journey. Enjoying up-to-date styling, bodywork, and radiator shrouds, the KX85 also benefits from Kawasaki’s Ergo-Fit handlebar mount system, offering six possible positions.
Next on the capacity ladder for many riders will be the KX112, a classic two-stroke, water-cooled single-cylinder machine with a 865mm seat height and a 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheel combination.
The KX youth range will be available from July, the KX250F from August, and the KX450F from December. Pricing will be confirmed soon.

New 2026 KX85 – Redefined and Built to Win
For 2026, Kawasaki engineers have adopted a clean sheet approach to the ever popular KX85 incorporating a wide range of new components and technical upgrades to ensure it remains at the front of the pack. While the tried and trusted two-stroke engine remains in place, changes to chassis, suspension, and front bodywork of the KX85 in both standard and big wheel (L) form create a new premier specification of podium placing potential.
KX85 L

Big news at the front end is the new larger fork adopted for 2026. The low friction Kashima coated assembly now features larger-diameter ø43 mm inner tubes including rebound damping adjustability plus higher rigidity. Complementing the current compression damping adjuster, a rebound damping adjuster has now been added, allowing more precise suspension setup.
Up front, the news gets better still with a new, larger ø240 mm front disc paired with the same caliper body and master cylinder used on the KX250 offering stronger braking force, enhanced durability, and improved controllability. And, at the rear, a larger ø220 mm disc plus reduced pedal play contribute to more precise braking control. New Dunlop Geomax MX34 tyres increase traction, brake grip and cornering grip while offering better front-end feel.
Also at the rear, a new shock offers full adjustability plus the rod diameter has been increased from ø12.5 mm to ø14 mm while the cylinder length has been extended from 380 mm to 390 mm resulting in firmer damping and bottoming resistance. On the KX85 L (big wheel), a revised linkage delivers 305 mm of wheel travel— a figure on par with that of Kawasaki’s full-size KX models.
The much praised perimeter frame is also upgraded with a steering head pipe length extended by 25 mm. The resultant increased front-end rigidity delivers greater overall composure while items such as handlebars, steering stem and rear sprocket are now aluminium and lighter than previous iterations.
For the rider, a new upper triple clamp with two sets of handlebar mount slots and reversible handlebar mounts offers riders a choice of four positions: 10 mm forward, STD, 10 mm back and 20 mm back. These are complemented by two height choices using collars (STD, +5 mm) offering riders a total of ERGO-FIT positions to choose from, enabling a more personalised riding setup.
With a new aggressive and angular front fender and front number board plus fork shroud design – as well as ODI Lock-On Grips mounted on new Renthal fat bars – the rider also benefits from new flatter footpegs which have been widened to 48mm from 40mm. These feature a greater number of teeth for better grip while black wheel rims and green alumite finish suspension adjusters add to the overall “factory racer” look aligning these junior machines perfectly with their adult class siblings.
Redefined and Built to Win, the new 2026 KX85 models – in standard and big wheel form – are poised for action and podium ready.

Kawasaki ready for a new challenge
The Kawasaki Racing Team enters the FIM Motocross World Championship stronger than ever in 2025 as the team will compete in both major classes this year; alongside the rich history of the team in the MXGP class, a new chapter will open as they will also line up in the MX2 class.
Based in Lommel (Belgium), which is considered the ‘heart of European motocross’, the Kawasaki Racing Team has a long experience in racing in the premier off-road series as both the team owner and management have been involved in motorsport for many years.
Former Formula1 world champion Kimi Räikkönen, the team principal who has been passionate about motocross since his childhood, is universally respected in the sport as is team manager Antti Pyrhönen, who successfully contested the motocross world championship for more than a decade before turning to team management twelve years ago.
Working closely with Kawasaki Motors Ltd, the team achieved outstanding results during the last two campaigns as they celebrated twenty-three GP podiums, six GP victories and twelve moto wins in the MXGP class, the pinnacle of off-road racing.
Throughout the winter the team members and Japanese engineers have worked systematically to optimise Kawasaki's commitment to new FIM technical and environmental rules with continued updates and refinement to the KX-SR factory machines, which themselves are developed from the stock bikes available to customers at the worldwide network of Kawasaki dealerships.
Testing went perfectly in sunny Sardinia throughout January to prepare for the first pre-season races, the first of which is hosted by the Salop Motor Club at Hawkstone Park in England prior to the opening round of the FIM World Championship in Argentina on March 1st/2nd.
It was a busy and intense winter as the team will not only remain committed to success in the MXGP class with Frenchman Romain Febvre – it will be his fourth season with the team – and Latvian Pauls Jonass – a former MX2 world champion – but also extend their portfolio by entering the MX2 class as the official Kawasaki team for the first time with Mathis Valin.
After his victorious campaign in the European EMX250 series during his first season with Kawasaki, French teenager Mathis Valin has been promoted to lead this exciting challenge with the new KX250-SR Kawasaki as KRT seek success in both classes to excite and satisfy the hunger of the lime-green community worldwide.
Mr Manabu Shinobu: Senior Manager – Marketing Department – Marketing & Sales Division – Kawasaki Motors, Ltd.:
“The Kawasaki official entry in both MXGP and MX2 for the 2025 season shows our level of commitment to off-road sport. We hope fans globally share in the success that is being anticipated using the same KX models that fans can purchase as the base for the world championship machines being campaigned.”
Antti Pyrhönen: Team Manager:
“The time we are all working towards is here yet again and the Championship is set to start. I am feeling very calm; our riders have completed an extremely strong winter test program, and the team is in a good place”
Steve Guttridge: Race Planning Manager – Kawasaki Motors Europe:
“The 2025 season lays ahead and both the team and all lime green fans are ready for the gate to drop. Competing officially in both MXGP and MX2 is a huge step forward for our motocross project and we have the riders, staff and machinery in place to make a huge impact.”
Romain Febvre:
“We had perfect conditions to work in Sardinia; I also had a perfect physical training schedule in Spain before Christmas and then again n Sardinia. The Japanese engineers were with us in Sardinia; we had successful testing sessions with them, and I must say that the bike now suits me even better! I feel confident for the season ahead; now I can’t wait to be behind the starting gate to finalise our preparation!”
Pauls Jonass:
“Everything has been going really good so far, good preparation and good testing weeks in Sardinia, it was good to know the bike more and more and work on different things as I have never been riding a Kawasaki before joining the team. It has been great to learn the bike better, to work with the mechanics and everyone in the team before the first races. Of course there is still some work to do, but the season is long. I feel ready to go racing and excited to see how the bike and I react in race conditions.”
Mathis Valin:
“I was welcomed whole-heartedly by the team and I immediately felt comfortable with the team members and the bike. We worked a lot this winter with the team. I also worked hard physically, and I feel ready for the new season; I'm happy to be back racing soon to face the challenges ahead.”
GASGAS REVAMPS ITS AWESOME MC-E 5
WATER COOLING AND ALL-NEW FRAME HEADLINE THE 2025 UPDATES
- GASGAS MC-E 5 now water-cooled for consistent performance
- New frame and WP shock position elevate riding experience
- Available in GASGAS dealerships from November
Introducing water cooling on the MC-E 5 is a real game changer. Not only does it keep the 5kW electric motor at a perfect temperature for consistent power, it also extends the running time by 30 per cent! One thing that does stay the same, though, is the fast charging time. It takes around 45 minutes for an 80 per cent recharge and, even better, it’s super easy to swap out the battery for a fully charged one – meaning the fun doesn’t stop for long!
Besides the exciting new motor, the frame is all-new for 2025. Designed specifically for the MC-E 5, the chassis is engineered with refined flex characteristics. The end result being a much more stable and enjoyable riding experience for kids of all ages. The new frame also repositions the WP shock so that it performs even better, especially on the roughest of race tracks.
The MC-E 5 is a fully fledged motocross bike – which is the exact reason it sports similarly styled bodywork to that found on full sized GASGAS models, but scaled down accordingly to create perfect, child-friendly ergonomics. The 2025 MC-E 5 is a lot easier to have fun on, as the riding experience has been considerably improved compared to its predecessor. The new graphics, featuring a splash of blue to highlight its electric drive, create a cool look for the little red ripper.
There’s a lot to love about the MC-E 5. It makes no noise, meaning it can be ridden almost anywhere. It offers six ride modes that allow for progression, and for progression to be controlled. Overall ride height can be adjusted, allowing the bike to grow with the rider, keeping them on the same bike for longer as they build up confidence and skill level. Consisting of typically GASGAS red and black bodywork, plenty of safety features and high-quality parts, the MC-E 5 looks as great as it performs!
Technical Highlights
- New water cooling – maintains a perfect motor temperature for consistent power and a 30 per cent longer running time
- New bodywork – taken from the full-size motocross bikes and scaled down perfectly for the MC-E 5

- Adjustable WP XACT suspension – provides comfort and allows riders to create a perfect set-up
- Hydraulic brakes and wavey discs – for consistent performance at all times, in all conditions
- Rear brake pedal – for kids to get used to using a foot brake from an early age
- Black anodised rims – made from strong and light aluminum, adding the factory look
- MAXXIS MX-ST tyres – provide excellent grip and traction to instill confidence in every young rider
- Fibreglass-reinforced subframe – super strong and lightweight for a low centre of gravity
- Rollover sensor – stops the motor when the MC-E 5 is laid over
GASGAS COMES OUT SWINGING
WITH A SPECIAL EDITION 2-STROKE ENDURO BIKES – THE EC 300 GP
- GASGAS reveals its first special-edition enduro bike – the EC 300 GP
- New model designed to take offroad performance to a higher level
- Available in GASGAS dealers countrywide from October
As everyone knows, when it comes to enduro, riders face changing conditions. And that’s precisely why a map select switch is found on the left side of the black NEKEN handlebars. This allows the pilot to choose, and even change while riding, the engine map setting depending on the terrain. With Map 1 selected, slippery or technical sections become a whole lot easier to master, but when the going gets tough, Map 2 puts power to the ground in an instant and it’s also the perfect choice for using on classic special tests.
A selection of Technical Accessories combine to maximise durability and ensure that no days on the EC 300 GP are cut short. A radiator fan that kicks into action when needed to keep things cool, while a skid plate protects the frame and motor. Black handguards fend off impacts and also prevent damage to the controls in the eventuality of the inevitable drop. Then there’s a SUPERSPROX Stealth rear sprocket, which isn’t just super durable, but with its red-anodised centre, it definitely adds a little extra spice to the bike, too.
Last but not least, this fine selection of parts complete the EC 300 GP: a semi-floating front brake disc for improved braking performance in all conditions, while a front axle puller – anodised red, of course – speeds up wheel changes. And finally, the black rims are wrapped in what may well be the best performing enduro rubber on the market – METZELER 6 Days Extreme tyres! Check out the full model spec below.
Technical Highlights
Vibrant graphics – Inspired by the GASGAS raced to victory in the 1994 Enduro World Championship
Black frame – Ties all the new components and graphics together perfectly
New bodywork – Creates a unique look for the EC 300 GP and provides plenty of contact surfaces for increased grip and control
Seat cover – Black and red, and super grippy for complete control

Black handguards – Protecting the rider’s hands as well as the clutch and front brake levers for when things get wild in the woods
Red front axle puller – Speeds up wheel changes for less time spent in the pits
Semi-floating front brake disc – Delivers outstanding braking power
Strong rear brake disc – The wavey disk is stronger than what’s found on the standard EC 300 to help prevent it from bending
Rear brake pedal safety wire – The pedal tip is connected to the frame with strong wire to protect the pedal from any potential impact damage
Red SUPERSPROX stealth rear sprocket – Provides exceptional durability and a splash of colour
Skid plate – Helps you glide over obstacles with ease while protecting the frame and motor
Map select switch – Offers two choices of power to suit the riding conditions
Radiator fan – Helps keep the motor cool when things get tough
Black rims – Adds plenty of style and strength to the EC 300 GP
METZELER 6 Days Extreme tyres – Providing grip and traction on every kind of surface
Riders can find the 2025 GASGAS EC 300 GP in stock from October, and can experience this spicy special-edition enduro machine for £9,899.
For those who want to further spec their EC 300 GP and get the full GASGAS look, GASGAS offers a comprehensive range of Technical Accessories and Apparel.
On the last weekend of September, a Kawasaki rider secured the 2024 EMX250 class – the European motocross championship. Bud Racing Kawasaki has specialised in EMX and other off road disciples for many years and rider, Mathis Valin, took the crown with a spectacular win/win weekend. Of course, Mathis will soon be even more familiar as he takes his seat in 2025 for KRT in the world MX2 class.
Dominating the first race on Saturday, Valin pulled off an impressive victory to clinch the EMX250 Championship showcasing his dominance and mastery of the track. His follow up of winning race two simply underlined his EMX dominance – a sign of things to come from the young French rider.The story of success was augmented by actions in the WorldSBK paddock over the same period where Kawasaki clinched the WorldSSP 300 Championship in the Manufacturer category… with one round remaining.Inigo Iglesias Bravo (Füsport – RT Motorsports by SKM Kawasaki) and Mirko Gennai (MTM Kawasaki) each won a race at the penultimate round of the 2024 WorldSSP 300 Championship and in doing so they ensured Kawasaki’s name would once more be engraved on the Manufacturers cup.
Both EMX and WorldSSP 300 are so-called “feeder” classes for MX2 and also WorldSSP (where Kawasaki will race the ZX-6R 636cc model in 2025). Gaining experience in terms of race craft and machine control is one of the prime benefits of a rider gradually working their way methodically through classes and something Kawasaki actively supports.
Steve Guttridge, Race Planning Manager, Kawasaki Motors Europe, said: “Kawasaki is understandably proud to have added to our existing Championship success in WorldSSP300 by achieving the manufacturer title honour once more in 2024. This is now our sixth success as a brand from eight attempts, but the real credit has to go our teams and their riders delivering such consistently strong results on the Ninja 400.
With no less than four riders sharing the top step of the podium so far in 2024, this Championship provides real excitement and – being part of the WorldSBK paddock – creates a great ladder of opportunity for aspiring riders. Add the fact that Kawasaki Bud Racing and Mathis Valin took a European title and this add up to a very fruitful weekend for Kawasaki riders and fans”.
