Kawasaki KX 85

Kawasaki KX 85 Overview

The Kawasaki KX 85 is a compact, notably light option for buyers who value low mass and generous suspension movement over everyday convenience. Its 75kg kerb weight, 17/14-inch wheels, 290mm ground clearance and 275mm travel at both ends suggest a machine better suited to uneven surfaces than routine commuting. An 84cc engine works through a six-speed manual gearbox, but no power or mileage figure is listed, so its performance and fuel economy cannot be compared from the available data.

Both wheels get disc brakes, and preload adjustment is available at either end. The 830mm seat may still be tall for shorter riders; the 5L tank, kick-start-only operation and lack of an instrument display or fuel gauge also limit convenience. Against the Kawasaki KLX 140R F, the KX is lighter and has a lower seat, though its ground clearance is lower. It is priced below the Aprilia Tuono 457.

• At 75kg, its low kerb weight makes the bike easier to handle when moving it around.
• 275mm suspension travel at both ends gives the suspension room to move over uneven surfaces.
• 290mm ground clearance helps keep the underside clear of obstacles.
• Disc brakes at both wheels provide braking at the front and rear.
• Adjustable preload at both ends allows suspension setup changes.

Best for: It suits buyers seeking a lightweight, compact bike with long suspension travel who can manage its tall seat and limited commuter conveniences.
