2023 Suzuki RM85

The 2023 RM85 continues to carry on the powerful tradition of racing excellence in the Suzuki motocross family. The reliable two-stroke engine produces smooth power at any rpm with an emphasis on low- to mid-range performance. Just like its larger RM-Z cousins, the RM85 delivers class-leading handling for both experienced racers and rookie riders alike. With its smooth power delivery and lightweight handling, the RM85 is the perfect motocross bike for anyone learning to race—and striving to win!

Features may include:

  • Liquid-cooled, 84.7cc, 2-stroke, single cylinder engine produces smooth power at any RPM
  • Six-speed transmission with precise shifting and clutch action lets riders blast out of any corner
  • Class-leading light weight and nimble handling
  • Fully adjustable Showa inverted fork and piggyback reservoir rear shock
  • Includes the ability to earn Suzuki contingency and track-side support
Engine
  • The high-revving, 84.7cc, two-stroke, liquid-cooled, reed-valve, single cylinder engine has a bore and stroke of 48.0 mm x 46.8mm.
  • The cylinder features Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) for durability, low weight, and effective heat transfer for superior class performance.
  • The exhaust valves are made of aluminum to best match the expansion rate of the cylinder, improving sealing for better engine performance.
  • The exhaust valve governor and actuator help provide good throttle response and overall tractability.
Transmission
  • The RM85 is equipped with a smooth-shifting, six-speed transmission and a precise rack-and-pinion activated clutch.
  • The long clutch lever makes it easy to accurately locate and work the engagement point during starts and when driving off corners.
  • This durable transmission features a refined shift mechanism with a strong detent spring and needle bearing on the left side of the shift drum.
  • A knurled shift-pedal tip delivers excellent grip and shift feel for precise gear selection.
Chassis
  • A tubular steel frame with aluminum beam swingarm provides class-leading performance on the track, especially in the corners. Designed for rigidity, durability, and straight-line performance, the frame features large diameter tubing in key areas and a large front reinforcement plate.
  • The Showa 37mm inverted-style front fork is completely adjustable for rider weight, style, and ability. The fork features a cartridge system with fully adjustable rebound damping and 20-way adjustable compression damping (also included are guards to protect the inner fork tubes). The fork legs have 275 mm (10.8 inches) of travel.
  • The Showa large diameter rear shock absorber is valved to produce a plush feel and is resistant to bottoming. The shock provides 277 mm (10.9 inches) of wheel travel and features adjustable compression and rebound damping force adjustment.
  • A twin-piston caliper front brake with 220mm (8.7-inch) large-diameter disc and a rear brake with 200mm (7.9-inch) disc to provide excellent braking performance.
