The KLE®500 ABS is an adventure motorcycle with rally looks, made for riders looking for a single machine that handles the everyday commute, back roads and gravel alike. Its smooth 451cc parallel-twin, long-travel suspension and 21-inch front wheel give it comfort and confidence wherever the pavement runs out.
- 451cc parallel-twin engine: a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected DOHC twin paired with a 6-speed transmission, plus an assist and slipper clutch that delivers a light lever pull.
- Off-road-ready chassis: an inverted 43mm fork offering 8.3 in of travel, with a bottom-link Uni-Trak shock at the rear that has preload adjustment and 7.7 in of travel.
- Adventure wheels: a 21-inch wheel up front and a 17-inch wheel out back.
- Selectable ABS: anti-lock braking that can be turned on or off, working with a 300mm disc in front and a 230mm disc in back.
- Rally styling and protection: a windscreen that adjusts, a skid plate made of aluminum, and LED lighting for both the headlight and taillight.
- Connected: LCD instrumentation that links to a smartphone via RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE, along with an Economical Riding Indicator.
- Ready for the long way: a fuel tank that holds 4.2 gallons, plus ERGO-FIT® to customize the riding position.
