With the youngster in mind, this package has an engine that delivers steady, controllable power, incorporating an automatic clutch that allows the rider to concentrate on the track, not shifting.

The 2018 KTM 85 SX is a completely new weapon for class supremacy. An all-new model from the ground up, the 85 SX boasts an engine with more power and ridability across the entire rev range and a chassis that allows the rider to use every bit of that power.
