2021 Yamaha YZ250X

2021 Yamaha YZ250X

Engineered with all the reliability and durability you've come to expect from Yamaha, this 2-stroke was born to win Cross Country races.

Features may include:

• GNCC-Tuned YZ250 Power

Based on the legendary YZ250 249cc liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine, the YZ250X utilizes a revised compression ratio, exhaust port timing, revised Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) timing and a model-specific CDI unit—all focused on creating a wide, controllable power character ideal for cross country racing.

• Revised Power Valve

The YZ250X features the patented Yamaha Power Valve System—with broader opening timing compared to the YZ250 for smoother power—to combine bottom-end acceleration with strong midrange and eye-opening top-end.

• Narrow Exhaust Pipe

Unique compact exhaust expansion chamber is designed especially for the YZ250X to improve both horizontal and vertical clearance on tight, technical trails while still providing excellent exhaust efficiency.

• YZ250-Based Frame

A carefully engineered aluminum frame and swingarm give the YZ250X the famous handling that's been proven by the championship-winning YZ250 motocross machine on tracks around the world.

• Lightweight Subframe

Removable aluminum rear subframe is constructed of square-section tubing for reduced weight.

• 270mm Front Brake

Large 270mm front disc brake coupled with high-performance pad material offer outstanding machine control and performance, with exceptional stopping power and controllability.

• Cross Country Ergonomics

A racy "gripper"-type seat and narrow fuel tank combined with a tapered aluminum handlebar and adjustable mounts create greater freedom of movement and more comfortable ergonomics for riders.

• Cross Country Features

The YZ250X is off-road focused with an 18” rear wheel tire, wide-ratio gearing, a standard side stand, sealed O-ring chain and a reserve fuel petcock.
