2026 Kawasaki KLE500

Meet the new KLE500 adventure motorcycle designed to help you discover new horizons. Its purposeful rally-style design is a prime example of functional beauty that not only looks the part but delivers versatile performance both on and off pavement. With a responsive and torquey fuel-injected parallel twin engine combined with a well-balanced chassis and light handling offering comfortable touring ergonomics, getting to your off-road destination is just part of the adventure. Whether you’re a commuter looking for an adventure motorcycle with civilized road manners or an off-roader looking for more comfort while retaining plenty of off-road capability, the new KLE500 is your perfect passport to a world of possibilities.

Features may include:

• An Invitation to Genuine Adventure

Exploring the next dirt road is an opportunity for riding enjoyment thanks to a well-balanced chassis and light, straightforward handling. The well-thought-out riding position lends the KLE500 a natural feel whether standing or sitting, while seamless bodywork lets the rider move around freely. A rider-focused and highly controllable character makes the KLE500 the ideal choice for any long adventure ride.

• A Prime Example of Function Beauty

Distinctive rally-inspired styling sets Kawasaki’s new adventure machine apart. The KLE500 looks just as ready to get dirty on the trails as it is to cover a long highway journey in comfort. A blend of three stylistic aspects—an authentic rally-raid image, familiar street bike elements, and KX motocrosser-inspired design touches—creates Kawasaki’s new adventure style.

• Ready To Discover New Horizons

On the way to the next adventure, the KLE500 glides along the pavement, carrying the rider in comfort. Wind is kept at bay via a 3-position adjustable windshield, a well-cushioned seat contributes to superb ride comfort, and excellent fuel economy minimises fuel stops on long journeys.
