Its industry-leading suspension features idealized low speed damping characteristics for sharp handling, and the high-performance front caliper delivers outstanding braking performance.

A high efficiency air intake and specially developed exhaust system sharpen the power output of the explosive 250cc liquid-cooled YPVS engine – and the YZ250 70th Anniversary Edition’s special livery highlights the racing DNA, making this the ultimate 2-stroke for every rider who lives for motocross.

70th Anniversary Edition bodywork

Inspired by Yamaha’s racing DNA, spirit of innovation, and continuous challenge for new victories, the YZ250 70th Anniversary Edition sports a special white and red livery that make this the ultimate 250cc 2-stroke.

Slimline bodywork

The YZ250 70th Anniversary Edition comes with a slimline bodywork that gives this bike a sharp and athletic look. The narrow fuel tank and radiator shrouds give a compact riding position that enables you to shift body weight rapidly for the highest levels of cornering agility.

Powerful braking system

The high specification front brake set up features a 270mm diameter disc and a rigid twin-pot caliper with large diameter 25.4mm pistons that ensure optimum braking performance. A lightweight 240mm rear disc minimizes unsprung weight reduces weight while delivering instant stopping power with plenty of feel.

Industry-leading KYB suspension

Yamaha’s SSS (Speed Sensitive System) front forks are second to none. And the YZ250’s industry leading suspension delivers plush low speed damping for more effective cornering performance, giving you a real advantage. Whatever the type of track, the YZ250’s sophisticated front and rear suspension makes a real difference and gives you the ability to outhandle the opposition.

High-efficiency air intake

The YZ250’s side panels, rear fender, seat base and rear frame have all been specially developed to enhance the flow of fresh air entering the airbox to ensure optimum intake efficiency. Together with a high efficiency exhaust system this system gives you holeshot-winning acceleration and explosive power right through the rev range.

Race-bred ergonomics

With its slim tank, narrow radiator shrouds and flat seat the YZ250 70th Anniversary Edition is one of the most agile handling dirt bikes. As soon as you get moving on this legendary 2-stroke you’ll discover how easy it is to shift your bodyweight for a high degree of control when braking, cornering or accelerating.

250cc YPVS 2-stroke engine

The YZ250’s outstanding 250cc 2-stroke engine delivers instant power on demand. Equipped with a torque-boosting YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve System) and driving through a 5-speed transmission, this compact and lightweight powerplant loves to race hard.

Lightweight aluminium chassis

The lightweight aluminium chassis is manufactured with a finely-tuned rigidity balance that is designed to allow a certain amount of flex that gives valuable feedback – enabling you to feel and react quickly to different surface conditions.
