All-New Aluminum Bilateral Beam Frame
A completely redesigned aluminum bilateral beam frame based on the class-dominating YZ250F provides just the right amount of strength and flex for the perfect balance of stability and cornering performance. The result is a better handling machine with lightweight feel and increased front wheel traction, allowing the rider to enter corners with greater confidence and more line choices.
Revised Suspension Settings
Yamaha’s class-leading suspension has been revised for 2025 to lower the center of gravity for a more planted feel and increased ability in tight turns.
