First Look: All-New 2024 Yamaha YZ250F

INTRODUCING THE 2024 YAMAHA YZ250F - A FIRST GLIMPSE!

Yamaha's legendary YZ250F has been a key player in their off-road racing triumphs for years. Dominating the highly competitive 250cc class, it has garnered endless praise from the press, secured over a dozen Supercross and Motocross championships since 2014. Now, get ready for the all-new 2024 YZ250F, equipped with a host of updates to take its class-leading performance and capability to even greater heights.

Beneath its sleek and aggressive YZ design, the 2024 YZ250F boasts the most refined, balanced, and race-ready features ever seen. Thanks to a lighter and more compact chassis, riders can expect improved handling and a more comfortable riding position. The intake path has been reworked, resulting in enhanced mid- to high-rpm performance, while the brand-new generation of Yamaha Power Tuner App offers user-friendly and intuitive controls like never before.

The journey begins with an entirely revamped aluminum bilateral beam frame, drawing inspiration from its dominant YZ450F sibling. This redesigned frame strikes a perfect harmony between strength and flexibility, delivering an ideal blend of stability and cornering prowess. As a result, the bike exhibits remarkable handling capabilities, offering a lightweight sensation and heightened front wheel traction. Riders can now approach corners with amplified confidence and enjoy a wider array of line choices, making the riding experience truly exceptional.

the redesigned frame. Leading the pack is the KYB® coil spring-type fork, renowned for its full adjustability and speed-sensitive damping, striking an exceptional balance between handling and absorbing bumps, ensuring championship-level performance. Moreover, the fork now boasts a hand-adjustable knob, allowing quick compression adjustments without the need for tools.

The rear suspension, utilizing a linkage-type system, has also been revised with an updated KYB® shock, working in harmony with the front suspension to minimize pitch during corner entry and exit, leading to enhanced stability.

Furthermore, taking cues from its flagship sibling, the YZ450F, the 2024 YZ250F flaunts a sleeker, flatter body design that enables greater rider mobility. This includes a lower airbox, flatter seat, and narrower fuel tank and radiator shrouds. The overall rider triangle has also been improved, granting increased legroom between the seat and footpegs, enhancing rider comfort during every ride.

Renowned for its expansive and versatile power delivery, as well as its unmatched low-end and mid-range torque in its class, the YZ250F's advanced four-stroke engine boasts a high-spec piston, dynamic cam profiles, and a forward-positioned intake cylinder head layout. Now, for the 2024 model, the updated body design has paved the way for a more efficient intake path. Together with revised ECU settings, this enhancement results in even greater mid- to high-end power output.

To offer riders the ability to customize this power to their preferences, the new YZ250F is fully compatible with Yamaha's cutting-edge Power Tuner App. This allows riders to make precise adjustments to the air/fuel mixture and ignition timing right from their smartphone, tailoring the power delivery to suit specific riding conditions or individual tastes. An intuitive "Simple Tuning" slide bar further streamlines the engine mapping process, enabling riders to effortlessly switch between smoother or more aggressive power characteristics for instant adjustments. Furthermore, the app also functions as a monitoring tool, providing access to various data such as maintenance and system diagnosis, engine run time, lap times, and even the ability to log track setup information. Additionally, the app offers valuable engine and suspension tuning guides, guiding users in achieving the perfect setup for an extraordinary ride.
