Fully-Adjustable Suspension: The YZ85 features a lightweight 36mm KYB® inverted cartridge fork with low-friction outer tubes, external compression, and rebound damping adjustability. The fully-adjustable KYB® rear shock ensures excellent suspension travel to tackle challenging off-road competitions. This suspension system allows young riders to experience professional-level handling and responsiveness.
Potent YPVS™ Two-Stroke Engine: The heart of the YZ85 is its 85cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine, enhanced by the Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS™). This system boosts low- and mid-range power without compromising peak power at high RPMs, making the bike versatile across various terrains and reducing the need for frequent shifting.
Optimized Chassis Design: The chassis is designed with strength, rigidity, and handling stability in mind. An aluminum swingarm provides a balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity, while the lightweight, high-strength aluminum rear subframe reduces overall weight. This design benefits demanding junior racers with improved control and agility.
Performance-Minded Ergonomics: The YZ85 boasts a flat seat and narrow fuel tank design, along with smoothly integrated body panels and slim shroud width. These features allow riders greater freedom of movement, enabling better control and increased confidence during rides.
High-Spec Wheels and Brakes: Equipped with stylish, lightweight 17-inch front and 14-inch rear rims wrapped in Dunlop® MX3S tires, the YZ85 offers exceptional traction. Large 220mm and 190mm disc brakes provide precise control and outstanding stopping power, enhancing safety and performance.
High-Quality Embedded Graphics: Drawing inspiration from its YZ125 sibling, the YZ85 features an aggressive graphics scheme that highlights Yamaha's racing pedigree. These premium graphics are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and scratch-resistant.
Adjustable Rider Ergonomics: The four-position adjustable handlebar mounts and taper-style handlebar cater to riders of different sizes and preferences. This adjustability, combined with the bike's ergonomic design, ensures a comfortable and customized riding experience.
