This legendary 2-stroke is the kind of motocross bike that makes you want to just keep on riding. Whether you're racing, freeriding or just playing in the dirt, the YZ250's thrilling acceleration and super-agile handling make this one of the most exciting and enjoyable bikes you'll ever experience.
2 Strokes. 1st Place
With pure race DNA flowing through it, the YZ250 is like nothing else. At some time in your race career you really need to see what this bike can do for you. You’ll never forget the first time you ride a YZ250 2-stroke. Whether it’s the stunning acceleration, outstanding agility or its adrenaline-inducing performance you’ll understand why it’s built up such a massive following all over the world.
The exhilarating 250cc liquid-cooled engine gives you an instant hit of power for holeshot-winning acceleration – and the YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve System) gives you plenty of torque at low to mid rpm. It’s industry-leading KYB front forks and rear shock give outstanding traction with plenty of surface feedback – and the slimline bodywork and flat seat enable rapid weight shifting when braking, accelerating and cornering. Featuring a racing inspired updated Icon Blue colours and new graphics, the YZ250 is ready to win.
Features
Slimline bodywork
The YZ250 comes with slimline bodywork that gives this legendary 2-stroke a sharp and athletic look. The narrow fuel tank and radiator shrouds give a compact riding position that enables you to shift body weight rapidly for the highest levels of cornering agility.
Powerful braking system
The high specification front brake set up features a 270mm diameter disc and a rigid twin-pot caliper with large diameter 25.4mm pistons that ensure optimum braking performance. A lightweight 240mm rear disc minimises unsprung weight and reduces weight while delivering instant stopping power with plenty of feel.
Industry-leading KYB suspension
Yamaha's SSS (Speed Sensitive System) front forks are second to none. The YZ250's industry leading KYB suspension delivers plush low speed damping for more effective cornering performance, giving you a real advantage. Whatever the type of track, the YZ250's sophisticated front and rear suspension makes a real difference and gives you the ability to outhandle the opposition.
High-efficiency air intake
The YZ250's side panels, rear fender, seat base and rear frame have all been specially developed to enhance the flow of fresh air entering the airbox to ensure optimum intake efficiency. Together with a high efficiency exhaust system, this system gives you holeshot-winning acceleration and explosive power right through the rev range.
Race-bred ergonomics
With its slim tank, narrow radiator shrouds and flat seat the YZ250 is one of the most agile handling dirt bikes. As soon as you get moving on this legendary 2-stroke you'll find it easy to shift your bodyweight when braking, cornering or accelerating – giving you a high degree of chassis control.
In-mould graphics and factory style rims
Sporting the eye-catching updated Icon Blue colours and new graphics, the YZ250 looks the part with its dynamic look completed with in-mould graphics and slimline bodywork, with factory-style rims completing the race-bike look.
250cc YPVS 2-stroke engine
The YZ250’s outstanding 250cc 2-stroke engine delivers instant power on demand. Equipped with a torque-boosting YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve System) and driving through a 5-speed transmission, this compact and lightweight powerplant loves to race hard.
Lightweight chassis
The lightweight aluminium chassis is manufactured with a finely-tuned rigidity balance that is designed to allow a certain amount of flex that gives valuable feedback – enabling you to feel and react quickly to different surface conditions.
