Larger Front & Rear Wheel
The YZ85 Large Wheel (LW) model is the perfect ride for the advanced 85cc rider looking for a more big-bike feel. With a larger 19-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel clad in high performance 70/100/19 front and 90/100/16 rear Dunlop® MX3S tires, its step-up time for rising riders.
Potent YPVS Two-Stroke Engine
New for 2027, the potent 85cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine's intake system now features the VForce4R reed valve, while the exhaust system’s YPVS settings were also revised, resulting in a wider powerband and enhanced ridability across the entire rev range.
Optimized Chassis Design
The YZ85LW's chassis is built for the best up-and-comers with strength, rigidity and overall handling stability. The aluminum swingarm balances longitudinal and torsional rigidity, and the removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminum reduces weight.
Fully-Adjustable KYB® Suspension
The lightweight 36mm KYB® inverted cartridge fork features low-friction outer tubes and internals, plus adjustable compression and rebound damping. Paired with a race-proven fully-adjustable KYB® rear shock with a progressive linkage-type design for excellent bottoming resistance, the combined packaged offer loads of suspension travel for serious competition on the track.
Performance-Minded Ergonomics
Riders get greater freedom of movement with increased control and confidence thanks to the flat seat and narrow fuel tank design, smoothly integrated body panels, and slim shroud width. The four-position adjustable handlebars allow riders to tune the bar position to their specific size and preference.
