YZ250F

The 2026 Yamaha YZ250F stands atop the 250cc motocross segment with unmatched precision, agility and tunability. Its liquid-cooled 250cc DOHC four-valve engine features a forward-positioned downdraft intake, high-spec piston and aggressive cam profiles to deliver a broad, usable powerband — especially dominant in the low-to-mid range where many competitors struggle.

Framed by an aluminium bilateral-beam chassis inspired by the flagship YZ450F, the YZ250F blends strength, lightweight design and strategic flex for razor-sharp cornering and stable high-speed behaviour. With top-tier KYB® suspension — 310 mm front travel and 295-312mm rear depending on market — the bike is ready for whoops, berms and the full throttle rhythm of racing.

Technology takes centre stage: the Yamaha Power Tuner App lets you adjust engine mapping, traction control settings and launch control directly from your smartphone. On-the-fly map switching and a left-handlebar mode button make power delivery adaptable to track conditions or rider style.

Ergonomics and ride feel are refined: compact bodywork, aggressive stance, a 970 mm seat height and 350 mm ground clearance deliver race-level capability while giving expert riders the room to move and control the machine. The YZ250F’s 105 kg wet weight (industry-spec) underscores how focused this machine is on performance.

For riders who refuse to compromise, who demand a machine that’s race-ready out of the crate, the 2026 Yamaha YZ250F delivers. Underneath its sharp graphics lies one of the most refined and capable 250-class weaponry available — engineered to win, tuned to dominate, built for you.
