2021 KLX-230R handled like a beast in overgrown sections of a gnarly Catlett, VA trail...gnarly hill crash, broken hand-guard from some tight single-track sections, etc.
I have the 230 dual sport version. It will run 55 to 65 mph down the road and creep at 3mph. These bikes will go anywhere and tractor well with little clutch work.
Its the little bike that could for sure,I bought one for my wife and I have been riding it more than my yz250x just because is so freaking easy and fun to ride and trust me I think I am faster in single track than on my yz
The 230r is very versatile and I bet could handle most of what you’d put it through…but it’s not as nimble or “machined” as bikes specifically built for the super low speed hard enduro stuff…
@@aboutfaceretreats6562 we have really put our fully stock 2021 klx230r through the ringer, multiple times and it has had no issues. We also have a 2021 KLX300R, and its done pretty good as well but we had to replace the front break lever, we’ve bent the back break lever, cracked some plastic, and had a leaky from fork seal…mechanically speaking both run awesome!!
@@DirtBikeSessions that is fantastic! After I sent the message I saw that you were posting additional videos. I had my son on a Klx 140 mid size and that was a great bike but he is too big now. I think a 230 might be a great bike size for him next. I want him to enjoy the sport but not feel like a piece of raw meat on the bike which is what I feel like on my yz 250 two stroke at times
