Bodywork The mini motocrosser most riders will compete on before stepping up to one of our full sized bikes we wanted to make sure the MC 85 looks as good as it performs This has never been more true than it is with the latest colors and graphics Giving growing riders the space they need to easily and comfortably move around the bike 8217 s ergonomics help boost confidence The striking red of the bike 8217 s panels and the high grip seat cover certainly help the MC 85 stand out from the pack

Airbox 8211 The MC 85 features an airbox that keeps the motor breathing while also protecting the filter from dust and dirt Easily accessed without tools by removing the left side panel the Twin Air filter can be changed simply and quickly thanks to our fail proof mounting system

Handlebars Grips and Throttle Assembly 8211 The MC 85 features a lightweight and tapered aluminum handlebar that 8217 s fitted with a throttle assembly that allows for easy free play adjustment Additionally the MC 85 comes with ODI lock on grips as standard The system includes a vulcanized grip on the right side and a lock on grip on the left side which needs no glue or wire for mounting

Frame 8211 As they charge harder youngsters need to build their confidence which is where the MC 85 frame comes into its own With geometry that incorporates tailored flex the frame moves in harmony with the suspension to effortlessly soak up bumps and ensure high speed stability Further assisting riders the 8216 no dirt 8217 footpegs prevent mud building up when riding through deep ruts ensuring foot pegs return to their original position each and every time

Subframe 8211 Essential to the ergonomics of the rear end of the MC 85 the lightweight aluminum subframe contributes to the bike 8217 s overall low weight and mass centralization and features a short and compact profile

WP Forks 8211 As riders get bigger faster and more confident they need suspension that allows them to keep charging hard The MC 85 is fitted with the latest WP XACT forks which feature a 43mm split fork design using a capsuled air spring in the left leg and the trusted oil damping system in the right leg Lighter than conventional spring forks adjustment is simple thanks to the single air pressure valve and supplied air pump Easy access clickers allow compression and rebound changes

WP Shock 8211 On the rear of the MC 85 we 8217 ve fitted a specific version of the WP XACT shock absorber This allows the rear end to stay stable over smaller bumps or rough terrain while also soaking up bigger hits and impacts with ease The WP XACT shock is fully adjustable for preload compression and rebound

Swingarm 8211 Our one piece aluminum swingarm offers exceptional strength and the lowest possible weight Made using a gravity die cast production process prominent chain adjustment
marks are clearly visible for quick and easy chain adjustment

Motor 8211 Make no mistake about it the 85cc class is super competitive which is why we 8217 ve built a motor that delivers unrivalled performance using the latest 2 stroke technology Featuring an innovative power valve to ensure a smooth spread of power across the full rev range it 8217 s a system that can be tailored simply and effectively

Cylinder and Piston 8211 The cylinder is designed around the innovative power valve system which controls both the exhaust valve and the sub exhaust port for significantly enhanced power torque and controllability As a result the MC 85 delivers significant mid range performance reducing the need to use the clutch in loamy or sandy conditions

Transmission 8211 Ensuring riders can keep in the sweet spot of the power at all times the MC 85 features a lightweight 6 speed transmission Additionally and similar to the 8216 no dirt 8217 foot peg design a self cleaning gear selector prevents the build up of dirt for complete control in all conditions

Crankshaft 8211 Allowing the MC 85 motor to both rev free and deliver unsurpassed torque and reliability the crankshaft is precisely balanced for minimal vibration and oscillating mass

Crankcase 8211 Our crankcases are manufactured using a high pressure die cast production process which keeps wall thickness to a minimum while retaining strength and durability The compact design of the crankcases position the internal shaft arrangements as close as possible to the bike 8217 s center of gravity further helping the bike 8217 s seriously impressive handling characteristics

Exhaust 8211 Made in a 3 dimensional stamping process our 2 stroke pipes are then robot welded to ensure the best levels of quality and durability Key to ensuring the MC 85 revs freely the exhaust aides the bike 8217 s outstanding motor performance and all round rideability

Clutch 8211 Updated for 2023 we 8217 ve made the MC 85 clutch more reliable and robust ensuring that when the chequered flag is in site squeezing every last drop of power out of the MC 85 8217 s motor is super easy to do Allowing riders to keep the revs high the bike features a super lightweight hydraulic system by Formula which removes the need for adjustment and delivers a consistent biting point Internally the MC 85 has a diaphragm spring clutch which is characterised by its single diaphragm steel pressure plate instead of traditional coil springs

Brakes 8211 Holeshots require late braking deep into the first turn Ensuring riders can be late on the brakes and still take the line they need the MC 85 features 240mm front and 220mm rear wave disks and floating brake calipers from Formula Together they deliver powerful braking consistent pad wear and give riders complete confidence

Radiators 8211 In order to keep our high revving MC 85 motor cool we designed the bike 8217 s radiators using Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD 8211 clever tech that allows our engineers to ensure the ideal airflow through the cooling fins Ensuring the motor stays at an optimum temperature guarantees the highest levels of performance across all conditions Additionally the radiator shrouds not only serve as protection from flying mud and debris they also serve as a brace diverting energy around the radiators in the event of a fall or heavy impact

Wheels and Tires 8211 Aluminum rims and CNC machined hubs are fitted with Maxxis tires for consistent grip on a variety of terrains and track types With the robust wheels ensuring reliability the tires delivers exceptional straight line stability and excellent traction
