Since Yamaha’s first MX world championship win back in 1973, Yamaha has entered and won in every motocross category that matters. Racing is an integral part of the company’s DNA, and the will to win is at the very heart of the company’s operations.
From young racers starting out on the YZ65 and then progressing onto the new MY19 YZ85 and YZ125, riders have the opportunity to stick with Yamaha right from the start of their professional racing careers – and with the company’s bLU cRU program, more than 80 YZ125 riders from 17 European nations are benefitting from professional Yamaha support by participating in the YZ125 bLU cRU Cup.
When it’s time to move on up to the adult categories, machine continuity can be maintained with the YZ250, new MY19 YZ250F or YZ450F, giving aspiring champions the chance to experience Yamaha’s winning performance at every step of their career.
Yamaha YZ motocross bikes offer the very latest technology and performance features designed to make enthusiasts and professional racers alike the best riders possible, win races and become one with their machine – putting them in the victorYZone and atop the podium.
For 2019 season Yamaha introduce the all-new YZ250F, the most sophisticated model in its class. Featuring a newly designed high-performance electric start engine and an agile new chassis, this state of the art 250cc 4-stroke opens up a new era in wireless connectivity and trackside tune ability with its Yamaha Power Tuner smartphone app.
Yamaha’s total commitment to all sectors of the motocross market is reinforced with the launch of the all-new YZ85, the most advanced youth MX bike in its class. Powered by a liquid-cooled 2-stroke engine that features Yamaha’s torque boosting Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) technology – and equipped with newly developed suspension systems – this sharp looking race bike delivers more performance and more control for young riders.
For 2019 the YZ450F receives a number of technical upgrades, while YZ250 and YZ125 models get all-new graphics. With the launch of the new YZ250F and YZ85 not forgetting the recently launched YZ65 – Yamaha offers the most complete range of winning models that give racers of all ages the opportunity to be a part of one of the most successful brands in the history of motocross. The 2019 YZ250F boasts an all-new engine design that features an electric starter, a new cylinder head, piston, cam shaft profile, cylinder geometry, larger diameter clutch and more – all working together to deliver top notch power, with even more mid-top power.
Its bilateral beam frame is completely revamped with an optimized engine mounting position to improve the machine’s rigidity balance, which benefits cornering ability, and traction. Redesigned bodywork and ergonomics provide a lighter and more compact feel that bind rider and machine as one. The class leading KYB® suspension with updated internals provides the optimal balance between comfort and race-winning performance.
The new Yamaha YZ85 youth motocross bike features a large number of major redesigns that are focused performance and ergonomics. Featuring an all-new engine, suspension, and more, the YZ85 is designed to assist bLU cRU riders to earn their entry into the victorYZone with race winning performance and unrivaled reliability.
Following its major redesign for 2018, the flagship YZ450F receives a number of detail technical improvements for 2019. The most significant change has been made to the front end, where the forks are equipped with larger front axle brackets featuring new shape wheel collars that ensure a higher level of front end rigidity. This increased front end rigidity improves the YZ450F’s overall handling performance by giving more accurate surface feedback and enabling the rider to better assess the level of front wheel traction, giving greater feel and improved control.
