REAL CHASSIS PERFORMANCE

Inspired by Full-Size KX Motocrossers

A robust perimeter frame delivers the strength and torsional rigidity needed to harness the engine’s full power, giving riders the confidence to push hard on the track. Complementing the frame are new high-rigidity front forks and a long-stroke rear suspension, along with a powerful braking system. Built with the same “Built to Win” spirit that defines the full-size KX models, the new machine is engineered to give young racers a competitive edge.

THE RIGHT FIT

Sized Right for You

Feeling at one with your machine is extremely important for speed and control – especially for aspiring racers learning how to get the most from themselves and their bikes. 
For 2026, the KX85 and KX85 L offer a roomier rider triangle, wider handlebar, greater ERGO-FIT adjustability, and a host of high-grade, big-bike-style ergonomic components designed for enhanced control and comfort.
