Yamaha Motor Australia have announced the release of the 2020 YZ250X.

Engineered with all the reliability and durability you‰ЫЄve come to expect from Yamaha, the 2020 YZ250X delivers classic two-stroke performance for the enduro racer.

The chassis features a lightweight aluminium double-cradle frame and swingarm, fully-adjustable KYB closed chamber USD forks and a fully-adjustable high-performance KYB rear shock absorber. The whole package has been specifically tuned for cross-country racing to deliver unmatched performance, along with light, nimble, and precise handling.

This two-stroke enduro racer is powered by the same 249cc, reed-valve inducted engine as Yamaha‰ЫЄs legendary YZ250X motocross machine.

Features include a compact exhaust system for clearance on tight technical trails, and a race-ready wide-ratio five-speed transmission.

Compression ratio, exhaust port, power valve timing, and model-specific CDI unit are all designed for improved trail performance, with a focus on delivering a wide, controllable power character.
Australian-delivered YZ250X models are fitted with an off-road kit that makes the bike eligible for rec rego in some states.

The 2020 YZ250X is available now at Yamaha dealers.

Recommended ready to ride price is $12,299 incl GST.
