  • Kawasaki unveiled four 2027 KX-F models—the KX450F, KX250F, KX450FX and KX250FX—bringing back the “F” badge to distinguish its four-strokes after reintroducing full-size two-strokes.
  • The $10,299 KX450F gets the biggest overhaul, adding a new aluminum frame, revised swingarm and longer wheelbase, updated engine tuning, revised suspension and Brembo brakes; the $10,599 KX450FX shares those changes.
  • Rideology The App KX2 debuts on the 450F and 450FX with Bluetooth and built-in GPS, adding lap logging, ECU-linked hour tracking, live engine data and expanded launch and traction-control tuning.
  • The $8,599 KX250F and $8,699 KX250FX receive lighter updates—combustion-chamber, exhaust and fuel-injection revisions, a larger hydraulic clutch and retuned Showa suspension aimed at broader power and a steadier front end.
  • Summer 2026 deliveries are planned for the 250 models, while the 450 versions arrive in late 2026, extending Kawasaki’s 2027 lineup after the earlier launch of its new 327cc two-strokes.
