Powering the 2019 KLX 250 is a 249.0 ccm (15.19 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine.

The KLX 250 offers a comfortable, upright riding position suitable for extended periods. The seat height is 890 mm (35.0 inches), which may be a consideration for shorter riders, but provides ample legroom for taller individuals. The suspension is tuned to absorb bumps and ruts effectively, contributing to a smooth ride both on and off the pavement. While not offering track-focused ergonomics, the KLX prioritizes rider comfort and control in a variety of conditions.
