KTM 85 SX Platform

In the 85cc and Supermini classes, the physics of airflow change drastically. We are pushing these small cylinders to 14,000+ RPM. At these speeds, boundary layer separation in the transfer ports kills power. Our Factory Spec packages involve extensive epoxy work and reshaping of the transfer tunnels to maintain laminar flow, ensuring your Supermini doesn't just rev, but actually accelerates at high RPM.

"Engineered performance."

We don't just "grind ports." We mathematically correct the engine's geometry to solve this specific flaw.

Common Questions: KTM 85 SX Platform

What is the difference between a Mod 85 and a Supermini build?

A Mod 85 retains stock displacement but maximizes efficiency. A Supermini often involves boring and stroking, which requires completely different port timing to handle the increased piston speed.

How often do I need to do top ends on a Factory Spec 85?

High-performance engines demand maintenance. We recommend rings every 10-15 hours for peak competition, though our balanced cranks significantly reduce wear on the bottom end.
