What’s the most useful update on the 2027 Kawasaki KX85?
It carries over the major ground-up chassis, suspension, and ergonomic overhaul introduced recently, and features big-bike-style 43mm KYB inverted front forks, a new larger shock body with high and low-speed compression, rebound, and preload adjustment, a revised frame with a 25mm longer steering head for stability, and upgraded Nissin brakes, with the front increased to 240 mm; rear increased to 220 mm. It features roomier ergonomic rider triangle with the bars moved forward and widened, and lowered footpegs to offer growing racers more room to move. 🟢
Huge thanks to Sarasota Powersports for getting us a brand new KX to include in this shootout! If you haven’t watched yet - the full test is over on my YouTube 📺 #2stroke #kx85 #kawasaki #dirtbike
