Built around Kawasaki's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2018 Kawasaki KLX 110 pairs a 112 cc (6.8 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 7.3 HP (5.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8 Nm (5.9 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 65.2 HP per liter and a 3,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the KLX 110 measures 76.2 kg (168 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.44 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,074 mm (42.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.79-liter (1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
