The KX85-II’s large 19” front wheel (17” on KX85) and 17” rear wheel (14” on KX85) give it greater obstacle roll-over ability, extra ground clearance and a higher seat height for the taller rider. Plus for 2010 KX85-II now comes standard with black alumnite  rims just like its bigger brothers, the KX450F and KX250F.

The KX85-II’s liquid-cooled, two-stroke, single-cylinder 84cc engine has got the mumbo to get you to the front of the pack and keep you there. Featuring an Electrofusion-coated cylinder, 28mm PWK carburettor and carbon fibre reeds, it pumps out a broad range of strong, usable power.
 

The KX’s smooth-shifting six-speed transmission offers a positive shifting action along with rugged durability thanks to hard chromed shift forks and new bushings added to the second, third and fourth gears on the output shaft.

Setting the KX85-II apart from the competition is its advanced, high-tensile steel perimeter frame. Its increased rigidity and lower centre of gravity (Thanks to a centralised fuel tank) adds up to superior handling and rider feedback.

Kawasaki’s unique UNI-TRAK® rear suspension system enables adjustable spring preload, compression damping and rebound damping for optimal setup and performance. A revised design for 2006 offers even greater durability.

36mm inverted cartridge forks utilise a 49.5mm upper tube for increased rigidity and better steering response and control. 18-way compression damping adjustment enables precise dialling-in to suit a range of rider requirements.
