GO BIG.

Same YZ85 power, same YZ85 fun, and now with a large wheel package for 2022, allowing riders to bridge the gap to the next class.

HIGHLIGHTS:
• Larger Front & Rear Wheel
• Chassis Enhancements
• Improved Rider Ergonomics

The new YZ85 Large Wheel (LW) model raises the bar for off-road capability with a larger 19-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel clad in high performance 70/100/19 front and 90/100/16 rear Dunlop® MX3S tires. Perfect for the advanced 85cc rider looking for a more "big-bike" feel.

For demanding junior racers the new YZ85 has been enhanced in several key chassis areas to optimize strength, rigidity, and overall handling stability. Enhancements include the mainframe, swingarm, and rear-wheel axle. The aluminum swingarm was redesigned to refine the balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity. A new removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminum reduces weight.

A new flatter seat and more narrow fuel tank design, along with smoothly integrated body panels and slimmer shroud width, combine to enable greater freedom of movement forward and back, allowing the rider to easily shift body weight for increased control and confidence.

Inspired by its YZ125 sibling, a new graphics scheme highlights the YZ's unmatched racing pedigree. Premium Yamaha Blue and dark blue graphics are now embedded to provide excellent durability and scratch resistance.

COLOR OPTION:
• Team Yamaha Blue
