From their first ride to lifting the trophy, legends choose KX - Created to dominate and built for winners, the KX65 and new KX85 are competition ready machines designed to encourage the green shoots of youth talent allowing it to blossom into full-blown race wins and Championship success
Revised Shroud Design
Shrouds designed to accommodate a wider range of riders make it easier for riders to find a good fit on the bike.
Slim Ergonomics
Minimalist bodywork, flat tank and slim, flat seat were designed to facilitate moving around on the bike.
6-position handlebar
A choice of six positions allows riders to tailor their riding position.
Increased Cooling Performance
The new shroud design more efficiently directs air to the radiator, contributing to cooling performance.
Stronger Transmission
Complementing the increased power of the KX85-I engine is an all-new transmission – a change that also benefits the KX85-II.
Factory-Inspired Styling
Like Kawasaki’s top motocross models, bold, functional looks reflect these models’ race-winning potential. The new shrouds contribute both to ergonomics and the aggressive styling. Factory-inspired touches like black alumite rims and green alumite suspension adjusters strengthen the KX family resemblance.
Multiple Size Options
Riders can choose from two available wheel sizes: the KX85-II feature 19” front and 16” rear wheels; the KX85-I is equipped with a 17” front and 14” rear.
