Kawasaki KLE500 SE 2026

Kawasaki KLE500 SE 2026

The 2026 Kawasaki KLE500 is not an off-road monster, but a well-balanced A2-category adventure bike with a clear all-round focus. It impresses with its stable suspension, docile engine and well-designed ergonomics, marking a solid fresh start for Kawasaki in the adventure segment. It does have a few minor flaws, though only one of them is truly annoying.

a smooth and predictable engine

a stable and comfortable suspension

well-designed ergonomics to suit a wide range of body sizes

good value for money

a smooth-running transmission

Low ground clearance

hardly any off-road tyres are compatible with the unusual rear tyre size

wind protection is reasonable despite the taller windscreen

no options for a quickshifter or cruise control

ABS is disengageable only in its entirety

Very spacious

technically and electronically well processed

comfortable, uncomplicated chassis.

Organising engine.
