Kawasaki Introduces Updated KX85 & KX112 T he new 2026 KX85, KX85 L and KX112 motocrossers feature significant chassis updates. Kawasaki says that chassis up- grades are inspired by Kawasaki's full-size KX motocross machines, including a fully adjust- able 43mm KYB inverted front fork with Kashi- ma-coated outer tubes for smoother, more responsive action. Rear suspension travel has been extended to 12 inches on the KX85L and KX112, matching full-size KX models, while the rear shock is now fully adjustable. Additional upgrades, such as larger brake discs and a roomier rider triangle with ergo- nomic adjustability, "help ensure these bikes deliver superior control, comfort and race-winning potential," says Kawasaki. The bikes are also fitted with new Dunlop Geo- max MX34 tires, Renthal Fatbar handlebars with ODI Lock-On grips and all-new graphics. All three models will be available this month with MSRPs of $4999 (KX85), $5199 (KX85 L) and $5749 (KX112). CN WIND IN THE P46 The 2026 Kawasaki KX85 (shown) and KX85 L models feature significant chassis updates. The 2026 KX112 gets the same updates as the KX85s.
