Kawasaki developed the air-cooled, fuel-injected 233cc single for this bike and the dual sport version with the aim of providing better low-end to midrange performance. It’s not going to be a torque monster by any means, but it will at least provide enough accessible pull in the low revs to be really fun on the trail. Gear ratio is slightly different for the six-speed transmission when compared to the 230 dual sport, with Kawi opting for a 46/13 final ratio to better meet the needs of off-road-only riding.
