- 270mm Front Brake: Large 270mm front disc brake coupled with high-performance pad material offers outstanding machine control and performance, with exceptional stopping power and controllability.
Engine Features
- 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.
- Advanced Carburetor: 38mm Keihin® PWK carburetor with throttle position sensor provides precise fuel/air mixing and crisp throttle response throughout the powerband.
- Narrow Exhaust Pipe: Unique compact exhaust expansion chamber is designed especially for the YZ250X, improving both horizontal and vertical clearance on tight, technical trails, while still providing excellent exhaust efficiency.
- Racing Intake System: Specially designed carbon fiber reed-valve petals improve throttle response and engine performance across the entire rpm range.
- Wide-Ratio Gearing: Smooth-shifting, five-speed, wide-ratio transmission ensures proper gearing from tight woods sections to wide-open fire roads.
- YZ250 Cooling System: Large-capacity radiator features a ten-row core with four louvers for maximum cooling efficiency.
- Digital Ignition: Digital CDI ignition system delivers precise spark for faster, stronger response anywhere in the powerband, specifically tuned for the needs of the YZ250X.
Chassis/Suspension Features

- 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 offers outstanding machine control and performance, with exceptional stopping power and controllability.
- Smooth KYB® Shock: Rear, fully adjustable KYB® shock features 12.4 inches of travel, separate adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping, and a full lock oil rebound system for increased comfort, control and fantastic rear wheel traction.
- Industry-Leading KYB® Fork: Industry-leading, fully adjustable KYB® spring-type fork with speed sensitive damping uses piston speed to control damping force for super-precise handling and a smooth ride, with minimal wasted stroke or abrupt shocks for the rider—all tuned for the demands of cross-country racing.
- Enduro-Specific Wheels and Tires: Cross-country-spec Dunlop® Geomax AT81 tires front and rear are ready to head straight to the races. An 18-inch rear tire has a taller sidewall to improve comfort and reduce pinch flats.
