Motorcycle specifications YamahaYZ 450 F Monster Energy Edition 2022 The alliance of the excited

To celebrate the factory's total involvement in the MXGP and MX2 championships, Yamaha has released the YZ 250 F and YZ 450 F in Monster Energy Edition for 2021. A dark and obviously popular package, since the manufacturer is extending its presence for the 2022 model year. Featuring black and blue bodywork with exclusive Monster Energy motifs, the Monster Energy Edition offers motocross racers the chance to own an aggressively styled 2022 production bike with the authentic look of Yamaha's factory Grand Prix machines.

The Monster Energy Edition features the same technical specifications as the standard model. The latest developments include revised suspension settings, DID rims, a gold-colored chain and a new rear sprocket.

The most significant changes date back to 2020, when the YZ 450 F was completely redesigned with a new, more compact electric-start engine, as well as a lighter aluminum double-beam frame and many other new specifications designed to make it faster, more precise and even more competitive. Designed on the basis of the bike with which Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP rider Jeremy Seewer finished second in the 2019 MXGP World Championship, and equipped with cutting-edge technologies including the Launch Control System (LCS) and Power Tuner app, Yamaha's 450 4T is the most powerful and sophisticated production motocrosser ever developed by the brand.

The YZ 450 F retains all the high-end features introduced in 2020 (new engine, new cylinder head, new frame and new technological features) to benefit from greater lightness, power and handling. Riders can achieve faster, smoother starts at the starting line thanks to the Yamaha Launch Control System, and adapt their on-track performance using the on-board wireless connectivity offered by the free Yamaha Power Tuner app.

This unique Power Tuner application enables riders and mechanics to fine-tune the machine's engine performance at trackside, customizing settings and optimizing performance in all conditions. The bike's KYB suspension and lightweight aluminum frame offer excellent handling at all speeds, while its ultra-compact 450 cm3 4-valve engine delivers top-notch power and control.
