At just $100 more than the 2020 YZ65, the 2020 Yamaha YZ85 is the next step up for younger riders with sights set on the track. With its six-speed 85cc liquid-cooled two-stroke engine, fully adjustable KYB suspension, and adjustable ergos, this model will help your child further develop their riding skills and allow them to adjust this bike to suit their developing techniques and statures. Parents can appreciate its easy maintenance with its removable rear subframe, push-style chain adjuster, and self-cleaning wave-style brake discs.
