Light, powerful and tuned for cross country competition, the YZ250X is Yamaha's ultimate two-stroke woods racer. Powered by Yamaha's legendary 249cc YZ liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine, the YZ250X receives a revised compression ratio, revised Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) timing and a model-specific digital CDI unit all focused on creating a broad, usable power delivery specifically suited to enduro-style competition.
The ultra-lightweight YZ250-spec frame hits the perfect balance of rigidity and flex, while its best-in-class fully adjustable Speed Sensitive System KYB® spring-type fork and high performance KYB® long-travel rear shock are both tested and tuned specifically for the needs of cross country racers.
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.
Legendary YZ250 249cc liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted 2-stroke engine - focused on making a wide, controllable power character ideal for off-road racing.
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 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.
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.
