Big-Bike Style Suspension

The front fork features larger-diameter Ã¸43 mm inner tubes and now includes rebound damping adjustability. At the rear, a new shock offers full adjustability. On the KX85 L, revised linkage delivers 305 mm of wheel travel-on par with that of Kawasaki's full-size KX models.

Powerful Braking Performance

A larger ø240 mm front disc paired with the same caliper body and master cylinder used on the KX250 offers stronger braking force, enhanced durability, and improved controllability. At the rear, a larger ø220Â mm disc and reduced lever play contribute to more precise brake control.

Dunlop Geomax MX34 Tyres

Dunlop's latest tyres improve on the performance of their predecessors, Geomax MX33, in a number of areas: increased traction, increased brake grip, increased cornering grip, improved mud-shedding ability, more effective slide control, and better front-end feel.

Rigid Perimeter Frame

A sturdy perimeter frame, designed to harness the engine's power, offers the advantages of strength and torsional rigidity, allowing riders to push hard on the track. A longer head pipe increases front-end rigidity, while weight reduction across multiple components contributes to weight savings.

Slim, Ergonomic Bodywork

The minimalist bodywork, flat tank and slim, flat seat were designed to facilitate moving around on the bike.

Designed to deliver both ample power across the rev range and strong top-end performance, the 84 cc 2-stroke single-cylinder engine offers winning potential in a highly competitive class. The high-performance engine produces crisp, responsive power and offers proven durability to finish each ride with confidence. A close ratio six-speed transmission and manual clutch allow aspiring racers to hone their shifting skills and get maximum performance out of the KX85 motorcycle.
