The 2014 MY of the Kawasaki KX450F comes with many features to ensure the rider will not be disappointed, no matter how difficult the trail may be.
The bike sports features such as launch control, which reduces wheelspin when accelerating hard on slippery trails or the Kayaba Pneumatic Spring Fork (PSF) using compressed air instead of a traditional metal-coil spring. These new-tech forks reduce the overall weight of the bike, making it nimbler without impacting the precise feel of the steering. This big-bore off-roader also comes with a free Kawasaki Genuine PSF Air Fork Pump for easy adjustments of the fork pressure.
Another new feature of the KX450F is represented by the narrower grips. Softer and more comfortable, they are mounted on an adjustable 4-position handlebar, which allows the rider to pick a suitable riding position, no matter the size of one's inseam or arm length.
