However, its price tag is significantly higher than its rivals, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V and Xpulse 200 4V Pro, which are priced at Rs 1.51 lakh and Rs 1.64 lakh, respectively.
The KLX230's limited features list and restricted service network may pose a challenge to its sales, despite its capabilities as a dual-sport motorcycle.
