With the 2022 Kawasaki KX85 kids’ dirt bike, you can start your child’s racing career. This KX85 is an ideal bike for use due to its high-performance engine and race-ready suspension. Both ends of the suspension travel on this 75-kilogram bike are 275 mm. It is true that there are only rebound damping adjustments on the shock, but the shock itself is fully adjustable.
A flat fuel tank design, minimalistic bodywork, and a flat seat give racers a high chance of moving at high speeds. This KX85 features a low-positioned fuel cap, which makes moving across the length easy.
In front and back, the KX85’s discs have petal shapes to improve stopping power. In addition, the clutches are easy to maintain and offer smooth operation. There is also a separate clutch cover for fast and easy servicing.
With a powerful 2-stroke liquid-cooled engine and KIPS technology, the KX85 has several high-performance design features, such as a low-friction ring piston that provides rapid throttle response. The combustion chamber of the cylinder is efficiently designed. With the excellent power output and the large radiator on this KX85, the biker will always remain cool even when the racing action gets hot.
On top of that, the bike also features an adjustable handlebar that allows users to customize their riding position. It also has two adjustable mounting brackets. Optional spacers are available in three places where the rider can adjust the height. Shift the KX85 in any position you like with the new bushings added to the gears and the hard chromed shift forks.
What Is the Difference Between the Kawasaki KX85 And KX85-II?
The only real difference between the KX85-II and KX85 is the bore size. The bikes with larger wheels have a longer swingarm, which many consider an improvement regardless of the wheel size. Outside of that, the KX85-II shares the same amazing features as the KX85.

For added durability, KIPS lever stopper springs absorb governor “over stroke”. KIPS governors have a long stroke that opens the cylinder valves fully.
