There are only a few dirt bikes around the 85cc engine range. A shakeup has occurred over the past ten years in the 85cc two-stroke class with only some bike manufacturers keeping a bike in this range. Some, like Honda, decided to withdraw totally and concentrate their effort on the production of the 150cc four-stroke model. Yamaha has a great offering with their 2019 Yamaha YZ85 dirt bike.
Designs for the 2019 Yamaha YZ85 dirt bike are focused on improving the power of the dirt bike and even at a high revolution per minute (RPM), its optimum power output remains constant. The power output is predictable making it reliable during acceleration. Improvements were made to its chassis, making it more attractive and its steel reinforcement makes it even more rugged. The new Kayava fork setup makes for great compression and bump absorption. Older versions of this dirt bike had an inconvenient handlebar, but with the introduction of an adjustable handlebar, this problem has been fixed, it now has four positional adjustments, allowing it to be altered according to the rider’s preference and size. Its braking system also was improved with a new brake line in front for comfort when braking. Its sub-frames are now detachable.
Feedback on the 2019 Yamaha YZ85 has been good so far. Overall, the 2019 Yamaha YZ85 is a great dirt bike to purchase as your child progresses in their riding skills, and as it is now more adjustable this allows for more use at a time when your child will be growing quickly. The other advantage is that many of the Yamaha YZ65’s parts are interchangeable with the Yamaha YZ85 parts.
