Built on a steel perimeter frame, the bike features a 37 mm telescopic front fork and Uni-Trak rear suspension, offering 220 mm of wheel travel at the front and 223 mm at the rear.

In terms of dimensions, the KLX 230 has a seat height of 880 mm and weighs 139 kg. Braking duties are handled by a 290 mm petal-type front disc and a 230 mm rear disc. The bike is also equipped with switchable ABS for better control in off-road conditions.
