Kawasaki KX 100
2021
2021
The 2021 Kawasaki KX100 continues a long line of successful mini motocross bikes, bridging the gap between smaller 85cc machines and full-sized 125cc two-strokes. It provides a stepping stone for younger riders aiming to hone their skills before moving to larger, more powerful bikes. The KX100 faces competition from models like the Yamaha YZ125 and Suzuki RM85, offering a slightly smaller and more manageable package for developing riders.
Powering the KX100 is a 99.0 ccm (6.04 cubic inches) engine, a two-stroke single that provides a punchy and responsive power delivery ideal for learning aggressive riding techniques. The bike's fuel capacity is 5.00 litres (1.32 US gallons), sufficient for typical motocross sessions or trail riding. While not huge, it's adequate given the engine displacement and expected usage.
The KX100 features a relatively high seat height of 871 mm (34.3 inches), even at its lowest setting if adjustable, which is typical for motocross bikes designed for aggressive riding and ground clearance. This height contributes to the bike's ability to handle jumps and rough terrain. The riding position is inherently aggressive, promoting an attack-oriented stance that's beneficial for learning proper motocross techniques. Its lightweight and nimble handling characteristics make it a confidence-inspiring machine for younger riders.
The 2021 Kawasaki KX100 is primarily aimed at younger riders transitioning from smaller bikes or those looking for a more manageable entry into the world of motocross. Its responsive engine and manageable size make it an excellent tool for skill development. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of larger, more expensive bikes, the KX100 provides a solid platform for aspiring motocross riders to learn the fundamentals and progress their abilities before making the jump to a full-size machine.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Lightweight and nimble handling makes it excellent for young or smaller riders learning motocross techniques. • Powerful 99cc two-stroke engine delivers strong acceleration and punch for its displacement, great for learning throttle control. • Relatively low seat height inspires confidence for riders transitioning from smaller bikes or those with shorter inseams. • Simple and reliable engine design makes maintenance and repairs comparatively straightforward and affordable. • Disc brakes front and rear provide adequate stopping power for the bike's weight and intended use on a track. • Affordable price point compared to larger displacement motocross bikes makes it an accessible entry point to the sport.⚠️ Things to consider
• Small engine displacement limits its competitiveness against larger bikes on bigger tracks or in open classes. • Two-stroke engine requires premixing fuel and oil, adding an extra step to refueling and potentially causing mess. • Suspension components are basic and may not be ideal for heavier or more aggressive riders pushing the bike's limits. • Lacks electric start, requiring kick-starting which can be difficult for some riders to master consistently. • May be quickly outgrown by rapidly developing riders who will soon require a larger and more powerful motorcycle.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
