Since approximately a year ago we announced that the mythical acronyms KLE500 They could be back sooner rather than later, finally the new model was presented just a few weeks ago during the well-known Milan Motor Show. Since then there was still one relevant piece of information to know, its final price, an aspect that the brand itself has recently revealed.
Kawasaki KLE500 2026: Two versions, one spirit
The new KLE500 is positioned as the reference representative within the Akashi ranks in the competitive trail segment aimed mainly at those users in possession of the current A2 license. To achieve this, Kawasaki provides its new model with everything that is needed to succeed in this category. Starting with its engine, the same 451 cc parallel twin that the brand’s current 500 models have.
Under a DOHC technical architecture with 8 valves in the cylinder head, water-cooled and internal dimensions of 70.0 mm x 58.6 mm, it is directly associated with a six-speed gearbox equipped with an assisted and slipper clutch. The assembly rests on radial type wheels measuring 21” at the front and 17” at the rear, shod with IRC GP-410 tires.
Suspension-wise, the KLE500 features a KYB inverted front fork and a Uni-Trak rear system. The brakes, disc on both trains, are assisted by an ABS with a disconnectable function. Other interesting details of the model are, for example, the screen adjustable in three positions, a high and short 16-liter fuel tank or the Full-LED lighting at both ends of the motorcycle.
With an overall design clearly inspired by the KX family, four unique configurations can be created with the addition of the Ergo-Fit rear seat (low) and the front low seat, available as original accessories. For its part, the SE model includes a complete package as standard that includes a larger screen, hand guards and a crankcase protector.
Official price of the KLE500 2026 range
And now comes “when they killed her.” Or better yet, when we reveal the official price of the new Offroad mount from the Japanese brand. In this case, while for the standard version we will have to pay a final figure of 6,500 eurosthe price of the Kawasaki KLE500 SE starts from 7,150. Now all that remains is to go to any official dealer of the brand to be able to meet them in person and know which of the two we finally decided on.
