No absolute beginners are to be found putting around among the ranks of ambitious, young MX riders anymore. This is where future champions fight for victory and the best chance for a place on the podium is on the 85 SX — as demonstrated convincingly by Henry Jacobi's 2010 world championship title. The 85 SX masters the toughest MX tracks with ease. The grown-up KTM mini-crosser combines full-fledged MX technology with perfect controllability.
