Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a small-wheel motocross machine built for younger or lighter riders progressing through junior competition, not a full-size adult bike.
PurposeIt exists purely for motocross track riding and racing, delivering quick two-stroke power in a compact, lightweight package.
Rider FitIts low seat height and very light 77 kg weight make it manageable for smaller or younger riders, but it is undersized and cramped for a full-grown adult.
CharacterSharp, revvy, and eager two-stroke character with immediate throttle response and a chassis tuned for tight, flickable handling on rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for road use, commuting, touring, carrying a passenger, or for taller/heavier adult riders seeking a full-size machine.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2014 Kawasaki KX85-II Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2014 Kawasaki KX85-II, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
