KTM 85 SX

KTM 85 SX Overview

The KTM 85 SX is a small-capacity bike with an unusually high output for its size and a very low 75kg kerb weight. Its 15.5bhp engine works with a six-speed gearbox, while 336mm of ground clearance and preload-adjustable suspension at both ends suit riding over uneven surfaces. The trade-off is a tall 865mm seat, which may be difficult for shorter riders to manage. Its 5.2-litre tank is small, and no claimed mileage is provided.

It is priced above the KTM 65 SX, but delivers more power and torque; the 65 SX is lighter and has a much lower seat. The 85 SX is priced below the Kawasaki Z650, which has substantially more power and a lower seat, but weighs far more. With no instrument display, listed lights or electric start, the KTM is short on everyday convenience compared with a typical commuter.
