At the heart of the 2026 Kawasaki Kx250 cross - motocross motorcycle, Kawasaki relies on a 249 cc engine powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 78.0 x 52.2 mm with a 14.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Kx250 measures 109.2 kg (241 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 955 mm (37.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1 mm (0 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.2-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
