Description
2-strokes. 1st Place.
The YZ250 offers pure performance and full-throttle adrenaline in a lightweight and reliable two-stroke machine.
Top Features
- Exhilarating Two-Stroke Power: The 249cc liquid-cooled YPVS™-equipped reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine is lightweight, compact and fun, with an incredibly wide, hard-hitting powerband.
- Class-Leading KYB® Suspension: The YZ250's renowned suspension performance offers unmatched levels of control, capability and comfort by way of the fully adjustable 48mm inverted KYB® front fork, including a leaf spring in the mid-speed valve for more precise damping, and the fully adjustable KYB® rear shock featuring reduced-friction Kashima Coat™ internals. It all adds up to class-defining suspension and handling characteristics.
- Lightweight Frame: A carefully engineered, advanced aluminum frame and swingarm give the YZ250 class-leading track performance.
- Rider-Friendly Chassis: Well-tuned chassis and ultra-light weight means intuitive handling, less rider fatigue and a confidence-boosting sense of control.
- High Performance Braking System: High performance front and rear brake setup offers exceptional braking power and feel.
- Confidence-Inspiring Ergonomics: A carefully considered ergonomic design includes a flatter seat, narrow fuel tank, smoothly integrated body panels and slim shroud width to enable greater freedom of movement forward and back, allowing the rider to easily shift body weight for increased control and confidence.
- Aggressive YZ Styling: Race-inspired styling—from the sharp embedded graphics, to the aggressive bodywork including front and rear fenders, blacked-out radiator shrouds and number plates, to the smaller details like fork guards, rear brake disc and caliper protectors, and wide footpegs—spotlights the YZ250's extensive two-stroke racing pedigree from every angle.
