PurposeIt is designed as a lightweight trail and learner enduro bike for casual off-road exploration rather than speed or long-distance travel.

CharacterIt has a friendly, forgiving, and playful nature, rewarding smooth throttle control over aggressive riding.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for taller or heavier riders, highway commuting, or anyone wanting real touring range and comfort.

2019 Kawasaki KLX 140G Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 861mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2019 Kawasaki KLX 140G, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
