Segment: Minibike / 50cc
Production years: 2013, 2014
The 2014 MY Kawasaki KX65 may pack only a 64cc two-stroke engine, but it is loaded with technology sourced from its bigger siblings, ensuring that young riders become accustomed early-on with the world of motocross.
The suspension comprise a 33 mm telescopic fork and a bottom-link Uni-Trak rear that is four-way adjustable, so riding on hard-packed dirt in the woods or on loose gravel will feel equally reaassuring.
The light aluminium rims, dyed in black, reduce the unsprung weight, making the suspension more responsive, and also add an aggressive touch to the bikes looks.
