Celebrate seven decades of motorsports excellence with the 2026 YZ450F 70th Anniversary Edition. This special edition features an iconic white and red speed block livery that, combined with the sleek and aggressive bodywork of the YZ450F, commemorates the 1955 founding of Yamaha Motor Company in a striking style.
Building on its best-in-class performance, the 2026 YZ450F 70th Anniversary Edition offers exceptional power and sharp handling in a compact, lightweight package designed to make fast riders even faster.
It is equipped with an advanced DOHC four-stroke engine and a lightweight aluminum frame, paired with industry-leading KYB® suspension that provides all the capabilities needed to stay ahead on the track. Additionally, riders can customize their performance using Yamaha's renowned Power Tuner app, allowing them to adjust settings to suit various conditions and personal preferences.
Engine performance improved with a new intake port, enhancing combustion efficiency and providing better throttle response and control.
A new frame design for 2026 emphasizes a balance between rigidity and flexibility. The revised inner and outer structures, including a thinner front downtube, result in a highly stable ride with enhanced front-end feedback for improved cornering performance.
Yamaha's Power Tuner App enables users to adjust engine performance, record race data, and monitor maintenance. It features easy tuning options, traction and launch control settings, a lap timer, and free guides, all at no cost.
Each wheel’s cross-sectional profile is carefully designed to reduce weight while maintaining durability. The rear wheel of the YZ450F features a three-cross-spoke pattern that enhances impact absorption and rider feedback.
The KYB suspension has been revised, including updated rear linkage and new settings front and rear. The rear shock lever ratio is revised for added traction and stability, and a lighter spring rate is used for the rear shock. Additionally, the front fork has tool-free compression clickers for easy adjustment.
The optimised intake path draws air from under the side covers and seat, allowing for a lighter, slimmer, and more compact shroud area. This redesign allows the airbox cover to be lower and narrower and the radiator shrouds to be slimmer.
The bike comes equipped with a 270-mm front brake rotor and a Nissin calliper, ensuring optimal braking performance. The rear brake has also been improved by reducing the rigidity of the brake hose, allowing for a wider range of control at the pedal.
Tri-shaft transmission layout vertically stacks the transmission shafts, raising the centre shaft and forming a triangle between the crank, drive shaft and main shaft for a lighter, more compact transmission.
A new compact PVC handlebar pad, a new lightweight throttle cable, and wide footpegs with new lightweight aluminium alloy brackets, a quick-adjust clutch perch, stylish blue rims and a lightweight gold drive chain with a new YZ450F specific chain guide.
To enhance rider comfort and usability, the new hydraulic clutch provides smooth and consistent engagement with minimal effort, reducing the need for on-track adjustments. Additionally, the redesigned clutch inner hub allows for lubrication over a larger area, resulting in improved performance stability and increased longevity.
An industry-first ECU lock function is now adopted on the 2026 YZ450F for theft deterrence, allowing owners to prevent unauthorised engine start-up via a password-required lock function accessed through the Yamaha Power Tuner app.
