Kawasaki KLE500 SE 2026

The Kawasaki KLE500 2026 is not an off-road monster, but a well-balanced A2 adventure bike with a clear all-round orientation. It impresses with its stable suspension, good-natured engine and successful ergonomics and marks a solid new start for Kawasaki in the adventure segment. It does have some minor faults, but only one of them is really annoying.

stable and comfortable suspension

successful ergonomics for many body sizes

good price-performance ratio

clean transmission

Low ground clearance

hardly any off-road tyres compatible with strange rear wheel dimensions

wind protection manageable despite higher windshield

no options for quickshifter or cruise control
