Engine
PROVEN PERFORMANCE
The high-performance 84cc two-stroke engine delivers crisp, responsive power and offers proven durability to confidently tackle any ride. A close-ratio six-speed transmission and manual clutch allow aspiring riders to hone their shifting skills and get the most out of the KX85 L.


Engine
The KX112’s latest 6-speed transmission is also a key feature of the KX85 L.
SUSPENSION
AMAZING CONTROL
The ø36mm inverted cartridge fork features adjustable compression damping, allowing for excellent tuning throughout its impressive 275mm of travel. The Uni Trak rear suspension is equally versatile with a fully adjustable KYB shock, also featuring 275mm of travel.


ERGONOMICS
Built to fit
Feeling at one with your machine is crucial for speed and control—especially for aspiring riders learning how to get the most out of themselves and their bikes. Similar to Kawasaki’s full-size motocross bikes, the KX85’s bodywork forms a sleek, ergonomic package that facilitates rider movement while contributing to a strong, factory look.
ERGONOMICS
The side shrouds are designed to provide more space for the rider, making it easier for them to find a comfortable position on the motorcycle. The new shroud design also directs air to the radiator more efficiently, contributing to cooling performance.

ERGONOMICS
Featuring a six-position adjustable handlebar mount, the ERGO-FIT allows riders to set their ideal riding position.
