Ready To Race
As young riders grow taller and their skills dramatically advance, they often want a motorcycle that's a little larger and a bit more powerful.
With larger wheels and tires, longer suspension travel and more engine displacement than the KX85, the Kawasaki KX100 provides the logical step up from the mini ranks.
The KX100 is powered by a liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine, with a machined finish on the bridges between the intake and exhaust ports to improve engine reliability and help prevent seizure. With a displacement of 99cc, the motor breathes through a 28mm carburetor with a crescent slide to position the needle closer to the intake ports. A large air intake cutout on the airbox and large-diameter duct to the carburetor improve airflow. Meanwhile, a carbon-fiber intake reed valve aids throttle response and a smooth-shifting six-speed transmission gives the KX100 a gear for every situation on the track.
