Proven Team Green™ Performance Built To Win

Powered by a proven 84cc engine combined with a chassis designed to maximize engine performance, the KX™85 motorcycle is engineered to give young racers a competitive edge. With factory-inspired components and a choice of wheel sizes to accommodate a wider range of riders, these serious race machines help carve the path to the podium.

Features may include:

CHASSIS PERFORMANCE

STYLING & ERGONOMICS
  • FIT TO WIN

The ERGO-FIT® adjustable handlebar, featuring 8-position mounting adjustability, allows for an ideal ride position and enables the bike to grow with your young rider. A roomier riding position and high-grade ergonomic components help accommodate a wide range of riders, making it easy to find a comfortable fit on the bike.
