VERSATILITY
Proven in Competition, Trusted in the Wild
Some bikes are built to dominate on the track, while others shine in the wild. The Yamaha YZ250 does both, giving you the confidence to ride wherever the day takes you. It features a balanced chassis and class-leading, fully adjustable Speed Sensitive KYB® system that lets you conquer groomed motocross courses and root-laced forest trails.
Its 14.2 inches of max ground clearance lets you tackle rocks, ruts, and rough landings without shaking your control. Add in the 5-speed transmission, and you can shift smoothly and keep the momentum whether sprinting down a straightaway or crawling over uneven terrain.
This dual personality—ready for the podium one day and the weekend trail the next—makes the YZ250 a standout choice for those who want more than a single-purpose machine.
