Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-focused youth motocross bike intended for young, developing riders who already have solid off-road fundamentals, not beginners on their first bike.
PurposeBuilt purely for motocross racing and track training, with a peaky 2-stroke powerband and race-tuned suspension rather than any road or leisure use.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light overall feel, and compact chassis are tailored to smaller, lighter riders such as pre-teens and young teenagers progressing through the junior MX ranks.
CharacterSharp, lightweight, and eager to change direction, the 85 SX rewards aggressive throttle control and active riding with explosive acceleration typical of a small-bore 2-stroke.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for adult riders, commuting, passengers, or anyone wanting a comfortable, road-legal, long-distance machine.

2013 KTM 85 SX 19-16 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 KTM 85 SX 19-16, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
