2‑STROKES. 1ST PLACE.

Updated for 2023, the YZ250 offers pure performance and full‑throttle adrenaline in a lightweight and reliable two‑stroke machine.

Exhilarating Two-Stroke Power
The 249cc liquid-cooled YPVS™-equipped reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine is lightweight, compact and fun, with an incredibly wide, hard-hitting powerband.

Lightweight Frame
A carefully engineered, advanced aluminum frame and swingarm give the YZ250 class-leading track performance.

Rider-Friendly Chassis
Well-tuned chassis and ultra-light weight means intuitive handling, less rider fatigue and a confidence-boosting sense of control.

Updated Braking System
An updated lightweight braking system features larger front pistons, a more rigid caliper, a redesigned 270mm front rotor with a 30% increase in pad contact area and higher friction pad material, all combining to provide exceptional braking power and feel. The redesigned rear rotor maintains the same braking power while dropping outer diameter from 245mm to 240mm, further reducing unsprung weight with no compromise on performance.

New, Modern YZ Styling
Aggressive, race-inspired styling—from the sharp new embedded graphics, new bodywork including front and rear fenders, radiator shrouds and number plates, to the smaller details like fork guards, rear brake disc and caliper protectors, and wide foot pegs—spotlights the YZ250's extensive two-stroke racing pedigree from every angle.
