chain. The 250 is now electric start only, like the 350 and 450, and the two
smaller SXFs have redesigned exhaust systems. Among the 350's engine upgrades

The $4,999 KX100 is designed to bridge the
gap encountered by budding racers between the smaller KXs and the full-on 250 race
machines. It has a 99 cc two-stroke engine and the same brakes as the KX85. The
inverted 36 mm cartridge fork has 18-way compression damping, and the Uni-Trak
shock can be adjusted by four-way compression and 16-way rebound damping, as
well as for spring preload. A generous 275 mm of travel at both ends allows
plenty of room for fine-tuning.
