Stand out from the crowd with factory edition styling, featuring Monster Energy® Kawasaki race team-inspired graphics and HINSON clutch cover.
• PRECISE BALANCE: Stay ahead with a lightweight aluminum perimeter frame and swingarm that provides overall rigidity balance which contributes to precise cornering. Enjoy a front-end feel that’s predictable while maintaining maximum traction through the rear wheel.
• DURABILITY ELEVATED: A D.I.D Gold Chain and RENTHAL Rear Sprocket handle gearing duties while D.I.D Dirt Star ST-X Rims offer enhanced style and durability to the wheelset.
• PERFECT FIT: The XTRIG ROCS (Revolutionary Opposed Clamping System) clamps the upper fork tubes from opposite directions helping to reduce inner tube distortion and allowing the fork to flex naturally. The PHDS (Progressive Handlebar Damping System) absorbs vibrations while maintaining steering precision. This also increases the available handlebar mounting which can be adjusted to 12 different positions. A factory-style aluminum Renthal® Fatbar® handlebar comes standard.
