Positioned in Kawasaki's cross - motocross motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Kawasaki KX 100 utilizes a 99 cc (6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 40 Nm (29.5 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 52.5 x 45.8 mm (2.1 x 1.8 inches) with a 9.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the KX 100 measures 71 kg (157 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 871 mm (34.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.68-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 109 km/h (68 mph).
