Motorcycle specifications YamahaYZ 250 2020 Timeless appeal

the YZ 250 gets a slightly different look for 2019. In 2017, this cross-country machine had its braking system overhauled, with the diameter of its front brake disc increased from 250 to 270 mm. The cross machine had already benefited from a panoply of improvements in 2015. The YZ range has been renewed and improved for TT enthusiasts looking for the temperament and qualities of a 2-stroke.

Characterized by a lightweight aluminum chassis and a responsive 2-stroke engine, Yamaha's YZ 250 owes its reputation to its highly competitive performance and riding thrills.
Recently, the YZ 250 proved its winning ability in the 2T EMX300 championship, demonstrating that it still has what it takes to win at the highest level.
This legendary model is highly appreciated by competition riders, amateurs and FMX athletes alike, who praise its versatile performance and exceptional reliability. In addition to these qualities, the mechanical simplicity of the liquid-cooled 250 cm3 2-stroke engine facilitates regular maintenance. Not to mention the fact that it can be adjusted quickly and inexpensively using standard spare parts.

Many riders appreciate the YZ 250's low weight and explosive power, which, combined with its ease of maintenance, contribute to its popularity in the racing world. Finally, the YZ 250 is also the model of choice for riders who grew up on two-strokes and can't live without them.

In 2015, the YZ 250 2-stroke underwent the same visual transformation and technical improvements as theYZ 125, including the addition of YZ-F front and rear suspension, modern trim and bold graphics. What's more, the YZ 250 is equipped with an easily-accessible clutch freewheel, wide footrests and the latest Dunlop tires.
