YZ85LW

MY24 ride away price $9,049.00 including GST.

As an important entry into the world of competitive motocross, the YZ85 has long been the mini race bike of choice for future champions. Light, nimble and fun with a top shelf suspension, it serves up big-bike spec in a small bike package.

Along with its proven liquid-cooled YPVS-equipped 85cc powerplant, fully adjustable suspension and large diameter brakes, the YZ85 rider ergonomics include a narrow tank design, flat seat, side covers and slim symmetrical radiator shrouds. This enables greater freedom of movement for smooth shifting of body weight and better machine control.

Key Features

  • YPVS 2-STRONE ENGINE

    The 85cc liquid cooled engine features the Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) that boosts overall performance and contributes towards the bike's easy to use torque. Running with a high compression ratio and equipped with a close ratio 6-speed transmission the YZ85 delivers outstanding acceleration with race winning power.

  • IMPROVED RIDER ERGONOMICS

    A flatter seat and redesigned fuel tank provide improved ergonomics for easy front/rear weight shifting. The new seat design accommodates a new single bolt seat fixing, making routine maintenance easier and quicker.

  • FULLY ADJUSTABLE FRONT FORKS

    Featuring specially machined one-piece tapered outer tubes to align them well with the rigidity balance of the frame, and equipped with 36mm inner tubes, the inverted front forks provide optimised damping settings. Combined with the fully adjustable low friction cartridge forks, the YZ85 has the most sophisticated front fork design ever used on a youth YZ motocross bike.

  • IMPROVED AIR INTAKE

    The air intake system has been redesigned and features new side panels with large rear facing vents for a straighter airflow into the engine's airbox, which, increases the intake efficiency for improved engine performance.
