85cc mini motocross class has been the training ground for the world's best drivers. For much of that time, the Kawasaki KX 85 ™ has been at the forefront. The level of technological capacity, power and roadside snack filled on the rocket is awesome-152 pounds, and how to break a motocross track in the hands of an expert should be seen to be believed. It is nothing less than the dream machine of a young motocross.
Next step for future champions
With impressive power to weight ratio and a compact and agile, it is not surprising that the KX ™ 85 is the bike of choice for serious riders start in motocross racing. 85cc class has long been the testing ground for most of the top runners, KX85, and helped to acquire control of the track.

This little rocket ship is powered by two stroke, 84cc engine, which puts out impressive power. Among their features race-proven advanced package includes a frame, fork 36 mm cartridge, which is a 18-way adjustable compression damping, and regulations designed to tame the worst, most challenging tracks. Uni-Trak ® shock damping characteristics back to a fully adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound more to control the rear wheel.
Surrounding all the goodness of the suspension is painted black, high tensile steel perimeter frame is a specially designed fuel tank is located inside the cage to keep the fuel load, and this convention, the center of gravity lower possible to improve handling. All this is wrapped in a pale green body panels, lightweight aluminum wheels blacks and aggressive graphics. The result is a factory-look-like performance of the runner mill.
The engine has a certain facility, like towers of its own, including an electro-coated cylinder with a narrow terminal band, a chamber of large volume of combustion to improve high-end power and a 28mm Keihin carburetor has a crescent-shaped slide that positions the needle closer to intake ports, optimizing the flow of fuel atomization and provide smooth delivery of fuel over the entire power range. Further strengthening of the power is integrated Kawasaki KX85 tractable power-valve System (KIPS ®) and exhaust pipe tuned for improved drive out of corners and linear power delivery for young drivers at various levels.
