The 2014 MY Kawasaki KX85 sports a new two-stroke 85cc with 20% more peak power than the previous model.
The Kawasaki Integrated Power Valve System(KIPS) now has independent valves replacing the old three-piece valve design to make it more reliable and reduces the amount of time needed for maintenance.
The Uni-Trak rear suspension has also been tweaked in the shock department, to save 150 grams of weight and a new clicker-type compression damping adjustor has been introduced. This makes the small displacement 2-wheeler easily adaptable to different types of tracks.
This model has amateur racer support through Team Green.
