BRIDGE THE GAP.
Despite its smaller stature, the powerful 99cc two-stroke engine in the KX™100 motorcycle resembles the jaw dropping “big bike” look of its larger KX counterparts, while maintaining its ability to outperform the competition. Designed using the same championship winning technology as Kawasaki’s full-size motocross models, an adjustable handlebar mounting system allows for riders to place themselves in the best ride position. Backed by winning performance from Kawasaki Team Green, the KX100 has been a natural step for the riders who are looking to make the transition from the 85cc class to a full-size motocross bike.
The powerplant boasts a proven two-stroke engine that features a Nikasil-coated cylinder and two-piece KIPS® powervalve system, producing a powerful and durable engine that delivers broad and responsive power. A large capacity radiator helps maintain operating temperatures, even during competition.
Just like its siblings in the KX lineup, the chassis of the KX100 motorcycle is prepared for a variety of terrain, with 36mm inverted front forks with 20-way adjustable compression damping and 10.8 inches of travel up front. On the rear, the Kawasaki Uni-Trak® linkage provides precise handling and is joined by a high performance rear shock that features a 24-way compression and 21-way rebound damping adjustment, coupled with adjustable spring preload and the same 10.8 inches of travel.
We designed the KX100 from the ground up for teenage chargers who are between the mini 85s and full-size 250s. Its 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels are sized just right for adolescent racers and its generous 275mm of front and rear wheel travel is widely tuneable to let your inner-race shine.
