The single 84cc -cylinder engine of the 2012 KX85 II offers a lot of power, but not in a scary way. The bike is equipped with a heavy-duty manual 6-speed gearbox, making the power delivery smoother and more predictable, eliminating the intimidation factor and thus being even more suitable for the young riders.

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.

The 85 is powered by a 84cc, 2-Stroke, liquid-cooled, single cylinder engine. With a cylinder bore of 1.9 in and stroke of 1.8 in, its motor is oversquare, meaning that the cylinder bore (width) is greater than the stroke (length). This makes the engine more powerful than one of similar displacement with a smaller bore. The engine is supported by electronic fuel injection which ensures smooth and timely fuel delivery. Electronic ignition makes starting your bike a breeze and ensures a consistent throttle response.
