Kawasaki has confirmed the 2027 KX327X will arrive at dealers in late 2026. No exact date has been announced yet. Based on typical Kawasaki model year release patterns, expect it to hit showrooms somewhere between September and November 2026.

The bike was announced in June 2026 alongside the KX327 motocross variant. Both share the same 327cc fuel-injected two-stroke engine and KX450F-derived chassis. The KX327X is the cross-country spec version — 18-inch rear wheel, 6-speed transmission, larger fuel tank, skid plate and hand guards standard.

The 2027 Kawasaki KX327X has an MSRP of $9,699. The motocross sibling, the KX327, starts at $9,099. Both are priced aggressively compared to the competition.

The KX327X will be available through authorized Kawasaki dealers nationwide when it lands late 2026. Keep an eye on kawasaki.com for availability updates, and follow along at LiveTheGnar — we’ll have coverage the moment these things hit the real world.

Given that this is Kawasaki’s most anticipated release in decades, expect allocations to move fast. The first wave of these will be spoken for quickly — probably before most people realize they’re in stock.

And yes — the first used one will probably be on Facebook Marketplace within 48 hours of the first ones landing. Listed as “never raced, only ridden on trails, reason for selling: wife.” Don’t be that guy. Buy the bike and actually ride it.

The KX327X won’t hit dealers until late 2026 but your gear list doesn’t have to wait. Whether you’re upgrading your current setup or planning ahead for the new bike, now is the time to get sorted on tires, protection, and riding gear.
