The KX™85 motorcycle brings Kawasaki's proven performance to the amateur ranks. Proportionate power of the 84cc engine and race-ready technology grant young racers the championship-winning advantage they need to sharpen their skills.

Proven Performance

The high-performance, 84cc, 2-stroke engine produces crisp, responsive power and offers proven durability to finish each ride with confidence. A 6-speed transmission and manual clutch allow aspiring racers to hone shifting skills for maximum performance.

Exceptional Control

The 36mm inverted cartridge fork features adjustable compression damping and enables excellent tuning throughout the impressive 10.8-in of travel. The Uni-Trak® rear suspension is just as versatile with a fully-adjustable KYB® shock that also features 10.8-in of travel. Dunlop MX33 tires offer excellent grip, slide control, bump absorption and durability.

Built to Fit

The ERGO-FIT® sizing system, featuring 6-position adjustable handlebar mounts allows for an ideal ride position, and enables the bike to grow with your young rider. From tall to small, the radiator shrouds accommodate a wide range of rider heights, making it easy to find a comfortable fit on the bike.
