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.
