Kawasaki KLX 150L

The Kawasaki KLX has been counted among the most attractive off-roading bikes in the Philippine market. The Kawasaki KLX 150L is not different from any other sports bike and has taken inspiration from its elder sibling that is KLX 250. In terms of design and styling, the bike has been styled with minimum work on its chassis along with some angular panels extending towards the front and all around the fuel tank.

The lighting features include a compact size headlight that has been placed on the high riding front fender just next to the set of bulbous indicators. The riding stance has been placed perfectly between the two ends of a slender seat perfect for one rider. As an Off-roader, the ground clearance of 250mm would be enough to ride comfortably.

In terms of ride and handling, the Kawasaki KLX 150L is completely dependent on both the rear and front suspension. The 33 mm telescopic fork on the front side and the Unitrack mono-shock on the rear side perform very well and absorb all the shocks and bumps that come their way. Moreover, the lightweight of the bike has contributed to its off-roading stance and its compact nature offers a convenient off-roading riding experience. 

The bike is very easy to handle even at difficult turns and higher speed limits all because of its flexibility. The rubber-mounted footpegs can be easily removed within seconds to get a better grip while off-roading.

The Kawasaki KLX 150L has been offered an air-cooled, carbonated four-stroke 144cc engine that churns out a maximum power output of 11.52 hp at 8000 rpm and 11.3 Nm torque at 6500 rpm. The engine transmission duties have been mated with a five-speed gearbox that supports beginner-friendly power delivery. Though the performance ability at 5th gear is limited on the highway as it can only be utilized over there. 

The power delivery and gear shifting are smooth like any other Kawasaki motorcycle but the clutch is light and that is most suitable for off-roading. Moreover, the engine offers a good fuel economy with the number exceeding above 30kmpl and that is pretty decent.

The Kawasaki KLX 150L comes equipped with disc brakes on both sides that are front and rear. The front one comes equipped with a 240mm single disc and a double piston caliper while the rear one has turned a bit smaller to a 190mm single disc with a single-piston setup. Moreover, the brakes of this motorcycle are stronger than they appear to be and provide enough stoppage power to the vehicle while off-roading.

The off-roading modes are just another safety feature that the Kawasaki KLX comes equipped with in terms of braking and safety.

The Kawasaki KLX 150L as is a great option for any beginner rider and is highly capable of some serious fun riding experiences. Kawasaki KLX 150L is perfect as an Off-roader regardless of the uneven surfaces and muddy trails or climbing rocks. The bike ensures a better riding experience with its gentle touch that offers the rider the most comfortable experience even on bumpy surfaces. The motorcycle is a bit high pricey and might not be economical for every rider. The competition just got stronger and Kawasaki might have a tough time dealing with these and continuing to hold its firm position in the market of the Philippines.
