2004 KTM Sportminicycles -
85 SX

The 85 SX is the latest KTM offer. After presenting
the prototype at the Intermot in Munich last
year, this year the 85 SX goes into series production.
A completely new development with all the important
features of the successful "big sisters" from
the Motocross GP sport. This model closes the
gap between the sportminicycles and the full-sized
motorbikes.
The offspring crosser 85 SX is a completely
new construction which closes the last gap in
the KTM model family. KTM also remains true
to its principle with the newly conceived 85
SX: development from racing and for racing,
combined with best workmanship qualities, and
careful choice of components. Because when it
comes to the motor and chassis, the new 85 SX
doesn't have to hide from the KTM family's big
crossers one bit. Full-size White Power suspension,
hydraulic disc brakes and clutch, a lighter
and torsionally stiffer chrome-moly-steel frame
and 19"/16" (alternative 17"/14") wheels show
the competition that the 85s rule again - in
orange.

engine with 84.93 cc and mechanical exhaust
control.
Hydraulically operated wet multi-disc clutch.
6-gear transmission.
