Venom KPX250 250cc EFI Dual Sport Motorcycle
249cc fuel injection. Six-speed manual control. A tall dual sport riding position.
The Venom KPX250 combines a 249cc air-cooled EFI engine with a six-speed manual transmission and electric start. Its upright dual sport layout, 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel give it a different riding position and wheel combination from a compact street motorcycle.
For riders comparing dual sport motorcycles in Canada, the KPX250 brings together front and rear disc brakes, spoked wheels and a 35.6-inch seat height. It is a street-legal motorcycle for road riding and suitable unpaved routes where permitted. Choose the bike around your physical fit, clutch-control skills and actual riding plans.
What Makes the KPX250 Stand Out?
-
249cc electronic fuel injection: The single-cylinder, four-stroke engine uses electronic fuel metering rather than a carburetor.
-
Six-speed manual transmission: A hand-operated clutch and rider-selected gears provide direct control over starts, acceleration and gear choice.
-
Electric start: Start the engine using the electric starting system, following the model's starting procedure.
-
21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels: Spoked wheels carry a 90/90-21 front tyre and a 120/90-18 rear tyre.
-
Front and rear disc brakes: Disc braking at both ends forms part of the motorcycle's road and trail equipment.
-
Full-height dual sport chassis: The 35.6-inch seat and upright layout suit riders who can comfortably manage a taller motorcycle.
Manual Control and Dual Sport Riding
The KPX250 requires the rider to operate the clutch and shift through six forward gears. It is a manual motorcycle, with different control demands from an automatic scooter or motorcycle. Practise clutch engagement, gear selection, braking and low-speed manoeuvres in an appropriate training environment.
The maximum speed is 75 mph, approximately 121 km/h. Actual performance varies with rider load, terrain, wind, maintenance and operating conditions. Match your speed to the road, your licence conditions and your ability. Off-road access also depends on the route and local rules.
Dimensions and Rider Fit
The KPX250 measures 84.5 × 33.5 × 46.9 inches, with a 35.6-inch seat height and a net vehicle weight of 333 lbs. The minimum rider height is 66 inches. Check your inseam, control reach and ability to support the motorcycle when stopping, parking or making a slow turn. Height alone does not establish suitability.
Compare the dimensions with your transport and storage space, and check rider fit before purchase. A tall seat and larger front wheel should be part of your buying decision, especially if this is your first manual motorcycle.
