Yamaha YZ250X

Legendary YZ250 249cc liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine - focused on making a wide, controllable power character ideal for off road racing.

A carefully engineered, advanced aluminium frame and swingarm give the YZ250X the famous handling proven by the championship winning YZ250 motocross machine on tracks around the world. Tips the scales at just 104kg with all fluids – which makes it lighter than a four-stroke.

Smooth-shifting, five-speed, wide-ratio transmission ensures proper gearing from tight woods sections to wide-open fire roads.

The exhaust expansion chamber is designed especially for the YZ250X, and is narrow for clearance on tight, technical trails, while still providing excellent exhaust efficiency.

The YZ250X is focused on off-road competition and receives an 18-inch rear wheel, wide-ratio gearing - five speed in this case -  standard side stand, sealed O-ring chain, reserve fuel petcock, lightweight bar pad, headlight and scraper between the fork's dust and oil seal, all adding up to exciting performance.

A racy ‘gripper’ type seat and narrow fuel tank combine with a tapered aluminium handlebar and adjustable mounts to create greater freedom of movement and more comfortable ergonomics for riders.

Cross-country-spec Dunlop Geomax MX33 tyres front and rear are ready to head straight to the races. An 18-inch rear tyre has a tall sidewall for improve comfort and reduce pinch flats.

The fully adjustable KYB 48mm forks now feature tool-free compression adjustment at the top of each fork leg. The Speed-Sensitive System uses piston speed to control the damping force for super-precise handling, superb bump absorption and 300mm of suspension travel.

A high performance braking system features large front pistons, a rigid caliper, a 270mm front rotor with a large pad contact area, and 240mm rear rotor - all combining to provide exceptional braking power and feel.
