CHASSIS PERFORMANCE
BIG-BIKE STYLE SUSPENSION
The highly rigid, fully adjustable KYB 43mm inverted front fork on the KX™85 motorcycle provides excellent damping characteristics and bottoming resistance, allowing riders to attack the track without sacrificing ride comfort. Rebound damping adjust gives riders the ability to precisely refine their settings to match track conditions and personal preferences. The Uni-Trak® rear suspension is fully adjustable with both low- and high-speed compression adjusters. On the KX™85 L, 12-in rear-wheel travel matches that of the full-size KX™ models, contributing to greater control at higher speeds and improved bump absorption.
CHASSIS PERFORMANCE
STOPPING POWER
Just like the larger KX™ models, the KX™85 motorcycle is equipped with petal disc brakes front and rear. The front brake disc diameter is 240mm and the rear brake disc diameter is 220mm. The master cylinder and caliper body are the same Nissin units used on the KX™250.
CHASSIS PERFORMANCE
INCREASED TRACTION
Outfitted with Dunlop Geomax MX34 tires offering optimum traction, strong grip under braking, predictable cornering grip, effective slide control, and mud-shedding ability, the KX™85 features 17-in front and 14-in rear wheels while the KX™85 L is equipped with larger 19-in front and 16-in rear wheels to accommodate for taller riders.
CHASSIS PERFORMANCE
