2027Kawasaki KX 327
19 fields on record
The 2027 Kawasaki KX 327 marks Kawasaki's return to two-stroke motocross for the first time since 2007, and its first all-new two-stroke over 327cc in more than two decades. The fuel-injected 327cc single-cylinder engine is designed to blend the light, lively character of a traditional two-stroke with modern fuel-injection technology, targeting a flat torque curve for confident handling of technical terrain at low and medium RPM. It produces a claimed 60 hp (59.2 hp) and weighs 106 kg fully fuelled, for roughly a 1.65 kg/hp power-to-weight ratio. Suspension comes from KYB front and rear - a 48mm reverse telescopic fork and a single rear shock - with Nissin brakes at both ends, an aluminium perimeter frame, Renthal handlebars, and two selectable power modes.
