2026 Kawasaki KLR 650 S ABS

2026 Kawasaki KLR 650 S ABS Metallic Spark Black

The 2026 Kawasaki KLR 650 S ABS is a dual-sport motorcycle tailored for riders who want true adventure capability with a more approachable ride height. Built around Kawasaki’s proven 652 cc single-cylinder engine and a balanced chassis, this bike blends on-road confidence with off-road capability. The S version’s lower seat height and refined ergonomics make long tours, daily commuting, and mixed-surface exploration more accessible for riders looking for real performance without premium complexity.

Whether you’re navigating backroads, commuting through town, or planning weekend adventure rides, the KLR 650 S ABS delivers versatile performance you can count on.

Balanced Engine and Transmission

• Smooth-running 652 cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, DOHC single with broad torque across the rev range for highway cruising and trail climbs.

• Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) improves throttle response and starting in varied conditions.

• 5-speed transmission with wet multi-disc manual clutch gives direct control over gear selection in both street and dirt environments.

Rider-Friendly Lower Seat and Ergonomics

• Lower seat height (32.1 inches) makes the KLR 650 S easier to mount and more confidence-inspiring for a wider range of riders than taller adventure bikes.

• Seat with optimized urethane improves long-ride comfort during extended journeys.

• Upright seating and well-balanced ergonomics reduce fatigue during mixed-terrain rides.

Versatile Dual-Sport Chassis

• Tubular semi-double cradle frame delivers the strength needed for adventure touring while staying light enough for nimble handling.

• 41 mm telescopic front fork and Uni-Trak® rear shock with adjustable rebound damping and preload adapt to pavement and light trail use.

• 90/90-21 front and 130/80-17 rear tires balance grip on road and dirt surfaces.

Confidence-Boosting Braking and Safety

• ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) helps maintain stability under hard braking on pavement and loose surfaces.

• Large 300 mm front and 240 mm rear disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power in varied conditions.

On-Road Comfort and Touring Capability

• All-digital multifunction instrument cluster keeps essential info clear and accessible.

• Generous fuel capacity (~6.1 gal) supports longer stretches between stops for touring and commuting.

• Adventure-inspired styling with a tall adjustable windshield improves wind protection at highway speeds.

Ideal Rider

• Dual-sport and adventure riders seeking a more accessible seat height without sacrificing capability.

• Riders who want a bike that handles city-to-trail transitions and long road miles with confidence.
