The 2020 Kawasaki KX85 is a staple in the 85cc motocross competition. Serving as a steppingstone between the KX65 and full-size motocrossers, the 85cc class offers a small-displacement opportunity for riders to cut their teeth before more power and more weight.

The KX is powered by a 84cc two-stroke engine and rides on the same 17-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels that are standard in the class. For those looking for something larger or a transition to full-size bikes, stepping up to the bigger-displacement KX100 adds an extra bump in power, as well as larger wheels.
