Introduction
Everybody knows it's important
to use the right tool for the job, which makes the KX™100
the perfect instrument to help competitive riders step up their
game and begin their transition into full-sized Lites competition.
The KX100 helps bridge the gap between classes, providing growing
adolescent riders with a machine that accommodates both their
growing skill base and their physical size, allowing them to
concentrate on honing their capabilities rather than controlling
excessive power.
The KX100's 99cc liquid-cooled two-stroke engine offers both
more power and a broader spread of it than the KX85. The 28mm
Keihin carburetor and carbon-fiber reed valve assembly help provide
a crisp throttle response while the Kawasaki Integrated Power-valve
System (KIPS®) helps produce a powerband with good low-end
torque and a strong top-end rush. The power then passes onto
a smooth-shifting six-speed transmission, giving the KX a gear
for every situation on the race track.
The engine is bolted to a black high-tensile steel perimeter
frame with a specially designed fuel tank located inside the
frame to lower the fuel load and center of gravity for optimal
handling. Adjustable long-travel suspension at both ends helps
smooth even the roughest motocross circuits. The 36mm inverted
cartridge fork has compression damping adjustment capability,
while the UNI-TRAK® rear suspension system comes equipped
with a shock that's fully adjustable for spring preload, compression
and rebound damping. In the braking department, both front and
rear discs are mounted with shoulder bolts for easier maintenance.
The KX100 also features aggressive Kawasaki graphics to match
its black frame and wheels, just like its larger KX siblings.
Those who race their KX100 at designated events are eligible
to receive support from Team Green™, Kawasaki's amateur
racing support program. Each year, Team Green provides regional
support vehicles and highly trained technicians at more than
100 events, offering technical information and assistance to
those who race Kawasaki products. Kawasaki also offers a comprehensive
contingency program for amateur and professional riders who place
well at designated events.
Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Arizona
