Positioned in KTM's minibike, cross motorcycle lineup, the 2010 KTM 85 SX 19-16 pairs a 84.9 cc (5.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 47.0 x 49.0 mm (1.9 x 1.9 inches).
On the scales, the 85 SX 19-16 measures 68 kg (150 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 875 mm (34.4 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-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
