Three new two-stroke models from Kawasaki have officially been announced but they might not be the ones that everyone was waiting for! Well, unless you’re part of the mini ripper crowd. Kawasaki has revamped the KX85 and KX112 models and added a larger wheel model of the KX85 for 2026. The official information and images are from Kawasaki below.
The new 2026 KX™85, KX™85 L, and KX™112 motorcycles retain their proven engines while receiving significant chassis updates that elevate the competitiveness of Kawasaki’s mini motocross models. From improved suspension to advanced ergonomics, every detail has been refined to maximize on-track potential. Chassis upgrades are inspired by Kawasaki’s full-size KX™ motocross machines, including a fully adjustable 43mm KYB inverted front fork with Kashima-coated outer tubes for smoother, more responsive action. Rear suspension travel has been extended to 12-inches on the KX85 L and KX112 – matching full-size KX models – while the rear shock is now fully adjustable for a more personalized setup. Additional upgrades, such as larger brake discs and a roomier rider triangle with ergonomic adjustability, help ensure these bikes deliver superior control, comfort, and race-winning potential.
