Kawasaki has unveiled its new two-stroke bike named the KX327, marking a surprising return of high-performance two-stroke engineering to their off-road lineup.
The Japanese giant, Kawasaki Motors, has positioned the new model as a next-generation competition bike for professional and advanced riders looking for lightweight power and aggressive track performance.
The new model is expected to sit above the existing KX250 class as it brings back a larger displacement two-stroke engine.
Kawasaki said the bike focuses on “raw power, reduced weight and improved throttle response to meet modern racing demands.”
The move comes as rival manufacturers such as Yamaha, Honda and KTM continue to dominate the high-performance motocross segment with four-stroke and hybrid racing platforms, while two-strokes have become largely niche in recent years.

The KX327 is expected to feature a newly developed liquid-cooled engine, updated frame geometry and advanced electronic power management systems designed to improve control on technical tracks and high-speed circuits.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the dirt bike is $9,099, and the website reveals that it could be purchased by the end of 2026.
