Wide 17-inch front and rear wheels, together with front and rear petal rotors
and an upgraded 300mm front disc brake, give the new KLX250SF both attitude
and ability.
Large, stable tread blocks give the low-profle radial sportbike tires fantastic
grip on the street, while the 17-inch wheel sizes let KLX250SF owners
choose from a wide range of aftermarket rubber.
