What’s new in the KX327 two-stroke engine?
The new 327cc two-stroke engine is an evolution of the previous 250cc unit. According to Visordown, Kawasaki updated the intake and exhaust systems to improve throttle response and mid-range torque.

The KX327 is a pure motocross machine, while the KX327X comes equipped for enduro riding. The X variant features a front and rear lighting system, a number plate holder, and tires optimized for rocky and muddy terrain. Suspension is also retuned for longer rides and better shock absorption on rough trails.

Official pricing hasn’t been announced, but estimates based on previous models suggest the KX327 will cost between SAR 45,000 and SAR 50,000 (approx. USD 12,000–13,300). The KX327X is expected to be around SAR 55,000 (approx. USD 14,700).
