2027 Yamaha YZ250 – Two-Stroke Motocross Performance

The Yamaha YZ250 combines classic two-stroke character with a competition-focused chassis and modern rider ergonomics. Finished in Yamaha’s signature Team Yamaha Blue colour scheme, this full-size motocross model is designed for riders who value responsive power, low weight and straightforward mechanical simplicity.

Responsive Two-Stroke Power

At the heart of the YZ250 is a liquid-cooled 249 cc two-stroke engine equipped with Yamaha Power Valve System technology. Its broad, controllable delivery helps riders find traction when exiting corners while preserving the quick response expected from a race-bred two-stroke. A close-ratio five-speed transmission keeps the engine within its effective power range around the track.
