2027 Yamaha YZ250F: COMPETITION DOMINATION.
Introducing the new 2027 Yamaha YZ250F…
Riding into 2027 with the most Supercross and Motocross championships, the most shootout wins, and a legacy of dominance, the all-new YZ250F changes the game… again. Welcome to advanced moto technology with a new engine producing more power across the rev range, enhanced handling thanks to its new state-of-the-art aluminum frame, compact ergonomics and updated bodywork and unmatched smartphone tuneability.
All-new 250cc Four-Stroke Engine with noise compliance
The 2027 YZ250F receives an all-new liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve, fuel-injected 250cc powerplant revised to increase power across the entire range with a rev limit 700 rpm higher than before. Despite the increase in power, a revised air cleaner and exhaust system reduces overall noise for FIM/AMA compliance, with a tuned exhaust note that’s pleasing to the ear.
New hydraulic clutch with consistent, dependable performance
A new hydraulic clutch adopted from the YZ450F performs consistently for stable, dependable performance. An increased springload reduces the strength needed to pull in the lever, providing smooth feathering and engagement characteristics on par with a cable-clutch.
Advanced Aluminum Bilateral Beam Frame
The 2027 YZ250F adopts the YZ450F’s compact aluminum bilateral beam frame, providing the right amount of strength and flex for the perfect balance of stability and cornering performance. The result is a better handling machine with lighter feel, more agility and increased traction allowing the rider to enter corners with greater confidence and more line choices.
Class-Leading KYB Suspension
New front and rear KYB suspension, including a new rear shock with a new base valve, piston and tool-less low speed compression adjuster, offers increased damping force, shock absorption and comfort that enhances overall traction.
All-New Compact and Lightweight Rear Brake System
An all-new rear braking system provides linear stopping power with improved braking force and controllability in a smaller, lighter package. The size of the rear brake caliper and master cylinder pistons have been reduced, as well as the diameter of the rear brake disc. The brake hose material and disc rotor bolts have also been revised resulting in 180g of weight savings.
Updated YZ-Series Bodywork for an agile new look
The 2027 YZ250F shares bodywork with the YZ450F, evoking YZ styling with an agile new look. A new compact numberplate, two-tone, two-piece side covers, a rigid rear fender, and a new seat with a honeycomb-patterned surface with optimal seat grip create a dynamic look with a clean new compact appearance.
