Kawasaki has introduced two new models for 2026, one in the 250cc category and another in the 450cc category.
French rider Mathis Valin is riding in the MX2 class this year on the KRT KX250-SR, showcasing its performance. The 2026 model features, according to Kawasaki, “race development, innovative engineering, and technology designed for both professional and amateur racers”, including selectable power modes and traction control. A symmetrically aligned intake and exhaust claim to provide strong over-run performance and smooth low-end torque.
A flagship model, the KX450, has helped rider Romain Febvre achieve red plate status in the 2025 MXGP season. Its optimised chassis improves front-end feel and cornering across various conditions. Additional features include Brembo brakes, Showa suspension, and ODI Lock-on grips. Smartphone connectivity also allows riders to adjust engine mapping directly from a mobile device.
Both bikes are available in Kawasaki’s signature Lime Green, with the KX250 available now priced at £7799, while the KX450 will debut later this year at £8399.
