YZ250F 70TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Celebrate seven decades of motorsports excellence with the 2026 YZ250F 70th Anniversary Edition. The iconic white and red speed block livery, combined with the YZ250F's sleek and aggressive bodywork, pays tribute to the 1955 founding of Yamaha Motor Company in standout style. Beneath its vintage-inspired exterior, this motorcycle features the most refined, balanced, and competition-ready design in the 250 class. Its light and compact chassis provides exceptional handling, a more comfortable riding position, and best-in-class KYB® suspension. Powered by a renowned 250cc four-stroke engine, it delivers exhilarating power across the rev range. When paired with Yamaha's advanced next-generation Power Tuner App, it offers an unmatched level of tunability that leaves the competition behind.

Advanced 250cc 4-stroke Engine

The YZ250F's liquid-cooled, DOHC 4-valve, fuel-injected powerplant features a forward-positioned straight downdraft intake with symmetrical intake ports, high-spec piston and aggressive cam profiles. The advanced four-stroke engine is known for its broad, useable powerband and class-leading low-end and mid-range torque.

New Aluminium Bilateral Beam Frame

An aluminium bilateral beam frame based on the flagship YZ450F provides just the right amount of strength and flex for the perfect balance of stability and cornering performance. The result is a better handling machine with a lightweight feel and increased front wheel traction, allowing the rider to enter corners with greater confidence and more line choices.

Yamaha Power Tuner App

Yamaha's Power Tuner App is a free and user-friendly tool that helps riders adjust their engine performance, traction, and launch control from their smartphone. It also includes a lap timer and helpful tuning guides.

Adjustable Suspension Settings

The KYB suspension has been updated with a new rear linkage, settings front and rear, a revised rear shock lever ratio for added traction and stability, a lighter spring rate for the rear shock, and new delta-shaped piston shims in the fork. Additionally, the front fork now features tool-free compression clickers for easy adjustment.

Efficient Air Intake

The optimised intake path draws air from under the side covers and seat allowing for a compact body design. This profile allows radiator shrouds to be slim with the airbox cover to be low and narrow. The efficient intake path also boosts mid- to high-rpm engine performance.

New Traction Control & Launch Control

The Traction Control System communicates wheel slip to the ECU and adjusts the engine to maintain ideal rear wheel traction. It offers three levels: HIGH, LOW or OFF. The Launch Control System features an adjustable rpm limiter between 6,000 rpm and 14,000 rpm for optimized launches. Both systems are controlled through the Yamaha Power Tuner App.

Adjustable Engine Maps

Switch between two engine maps with a handlebar-mounted button, easily adjusting to track or weather changes. Maps are preloaded and configured in the Power Tuner App.

Strong, Lightweight Wheels

The cross-sectional profile of each wheel has been carefully refined using computer technology to reduce weight while maintaining durability. The rear wheel features a distinctive three-cross-spoke pattern that enhances impact absorption and the overall riding experience.
