Suzuki RM85: A Perfect Motocross for an Improved Performance

Being a kid’s motocross, the Suzuki RM85 conveys a mild or airy look with its bright yellow color. The little riders will be attracted by its color combination first. Though the motocross’s primary color is yellow, it gets contrasted with black and blue.

The single small black and blue seat and solid black tires perfectly contrast. The side panel of the seat is black, and the upper portion looks dark blue. Each side of the new color seat incorporates a textured surface, providing better knee gripping.

Getting the ‘Suzuki’ logo in the seat’s sidebar keeps the continuity with the ’85’ logo in its long yellow tail portion. Also, the slim and decent-looking yellow fuel tank includes a hefty, eye-catching ‘RM’ logo. In the front, the motocross sparkles with the brand’s official logo.

The bright, sharp front fender provides a perfect motocross look with a motion appeal. Noteworthy, the curvy black exhaust head is one of the noticeable compounds in the motocross. So, Suzuki RM85 with a wide handlebar and edgy finishing is a complete package of dirt-riding.

The Suzuki RM85 gets a liquid-cooled, 84.7cc, 2-stroke, single-cylinder engine. The engine provides class-leading performance producing smooth power at any RPM. The single-cylinder engine becomes an over-square engine with a bore and stroke of 48.0 mm and 46.8mm, respectively. Moreover, the precise Keihin PE28 carburetor is vital for smooth throttle response.

The engine’s cylinder includes Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM), aiming for higher durability, low weight, and effective heat transfer for top-notch performance.

The over-square engine takes longer to complete each cylinder cycle, and the horsepower gets into its higher rev range. But the torque remains lower compared to the power.

With a fuel tank capacity of 1.3 gals, Suzuki RM85 can provide a top speed of 55 to 60 mph.

The new Suzuki RM85 weighs nearly 161 lb and comes with a 1.3-gallon fuel tank.

Coming to its other features, the high-quality footpegs are manufactured with cast chrome-molybdenum steel instead of stamped steel. The chrome-molybdenum steel gives them more durability along with a better grip.

The bike with 850mm seat height makes the overall bike 1100 mm high and provides a good ground clearance of 325 mm. The higher the ground clearance, the greater the restless riding experience it will provide.

The long clutch lever of the motocross keeps it easy to locate accurately. Also, it engages without obstacles during starts and when driving off corners. Additionally, a knurled shift-pedal tip conveys an overwhelming grip and shift feel for appropriate gear selection.

The exhaust valve governor and actuator provide good throttle response and overall tractability. The Digital CDI mapping aids in producing strong engine performance at high rpm.

The RM85 gets a smooth-shifting, six-speed transmission and a precise rack-and-pinion activated clutch for superior performance. This durable transmission gets implemented through a refined shift mechanism. The six-speed transmission with smooth shifting performance and clutch action helps the riders to explore any corner through off-road riding.

The suspension duties are performed by a fully adjustable Showa inverted fork with piggyback reservoir rear shock. Additionally, a tubular steel frame with an aluminum beam swingarm provides mesmerizing performance on the track and corners.

Furthermore, the Showa 37mm inverted-style front fork is designed with exclusive adjustable features for rider weight, style, and ability. The fork includes a cartridge system, and it comes with fully adjustable rebound damping and 20-way adjustable compression damping. The fork legs provide 275 mm of travel.

The Showa large diameter rear shock absorber gets valved, and it helps in producing a plush feel and is resistant to bottoming. The shock gives 277 mm of wheel travel. Also, it includes adjustable compression and rebound damping force adjustment.

Coming to the brakes, the bike offers a twin-piston caliper front brake with a 220mm large-diameter disc. On the other hand, the rear wheel can get halted by a 200mm rear disc brake.

The rear brake provides excellent braking performance smoothly. In addition, a rigid rear brake caliper helps get reliable braking performance and extended pad life. Moreover, the brake is easy to maintain. Furthermore, the caliper’s plastic guard reduces the damaging possibilities and saves weight.
