2013 Yamaha Raptor 250

The 250 Class Leader by a large margin…

The only 250-class machine that can honestly call itself a sport ATV, the Raptor 250 leads by example with a 5-speed transmission, long-travel suspension and more.

Yamaha’s 2013 Raptor 250 is serious fun and it the lightest full size sport ATV out there delivering nimble handling and great power to weight ratio. Plus you get aggressive Raptor styling, class exclusive five-speed manual transmission and low profile 19 inch rear tires for outstanding traction and performance.

The Raptor 250 is super light, but packs a mighty punch.

Featuring big Raptor styling in a sharp-handling package that’s built to take on whatever the trail throws at it. The Raptor 250 is powered by an engine that feels bigger than 249cc and comes standard with electric starting, Raptor-style head- and taillights, a flip-type parking brake, YFZ-style footpegs and high-performance suspension. You’d be hard pressed to find higher performance or more fun in such an affordable package.
