2022 Yamaha YZ250X Base

2022 Yamaha YZ250X

Engineered with all the reliability and durability you've come to expect from Yamaha, this 2-stroke was born to win Cross Country races.

Features may include:

• GNCC®-Tuned YZ250 Power

Based on the legendary YZ250 249cc liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine, the YZ250X utilizes a revised compression ratio, exhaust port timing, revised Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS™) timing and a model-specific CDI unit—all focused on creating a wide, controllable power character ideal for cross country racing.

• Revised Power Valve

The YZ250X features the patented Yamaha Power Valve System—with broader opening timing compared to the YZ250 for smoother power—to combine bottom-end acceleration with strong mid-range and top-end.

• Narrow Exhaust Pipe

Unique compact exhaust expansion chamber is designed especially for the YZ250X to improve both horizontal and vertical clearance on tight, technical trails while still providing excellent exhaust efficiency.

• Industry-Leading KYB® Fork

The industry-leading, fully adjustable KYB® spring-type fork with speed-sensitive damping uses piston speed to control the damping force for super-precise handling and a smooth ride. With minimal wasted stroke or abrupt shocks for the rider, this bike is tuned for the demands of cross country racing.

• Smooth KYB® Shock

Fully adjustable KYB® rear shock features 12.4 inches of travel, separate adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping and a full lock oil rebound system for increased comfort, control and fantastic rear wheel traction in challenging conditions.

• YZ250-Based Frame

A carefully engineered aluminum frame and swingarm give the YZ250X the famous handling proven by the championship-winning YZ motocross riders on tracks around the world.

• Cross Country Ergonomics

A racy "gripper"-type seat and narrow fuel tank combined with a tapered aluminum handlebar and adjustable mounts create greater freedom of movement and more comfortable ergonomics for riders.
