WR450F

The 2026 Yamaha WR450F is built from the ground up for off-road warriors who demand top-tier performance without compromise. At its heart lies a 450 cc liquid-cooled, DOHC four-stroke single-cylinder engine with a 13.0:1 compression ratio, housed in a chassis distilled from the race-bred DNA of the YZ450F motocrosser. Its engine delivers strong, broad-range power, with revised ECU mapping tailored for trail riding and enduro competition to ensure smooth roll-on torque and eventual full-throttle authority across the rev band.

Built to dominate technical terrain, the WR450F features Yamaha’s aluminium bilateral beam frame with WR-specific engine mounts that balance strength and flex for both high-speed stability and nimble cornering. Combined with class-leading KYB suspension — a fully adjustable inverted fork up front with tool-free hand-operated compression clicker and a linkage-type rear shock — the bike tackles ruts, roots and rough terrain with confidence and control.

Riders will appreciate the off-road ready features: wide-ratio 5-speed transmission designed for varied terrain, electric starter for quick restarts, a compact 7.4–liter fuel tank for weight savings, and smart ergonomics with slim bodywork and optimized rider triangle for standing or sitting in the rough. On the braking front, the WR450F doesn’t slack — a 270 mm front disc and 240 mm rear disc give strong stopping power even when the trail gets unpredictable.

In short, the 2026 WR450F is a machine for riders who want one bike that can excel in technical single-track, blast through open fire-roads, and stand up to serious enduro competition. It blends Yamaha’s racing heritage with practical trail usability — light, agile, high performance and ready for whatever the Australian outback throws at you.
