Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA is introducing its new lineup of 2025
off-road motorcycles with thrilling options for enthusiasts ranging
from young beginning riders to seasoned professionals. The
spotlight for 2025 falls on the exciting and ultra-capable new
YZ250FX and WR250F. Based closely on Yamaha’s class-dominating
YZ250F motocrosser, the new YZ250FX and WR250F are both designed to
be slim, light and agile off-road weapons, ready for competition
straight out of the box. The YZ250FX includes specific suspension
and engine tuning suited to the extreme conditions of cross country
racing, while the WR250F is prepped for enduro with unique engine
and suspension tuning, an H4 headlight, LED taillight, shortened
muffler with spark arrestor and other specific enduro features.
New 2025 Yamaha YZ250FX
Fresh off claiming last year’s XC2 GNCC title,
the new 2025 YZ250FX features an extensive list of enhancements
designed to further boost its class-leading performance and
capability. With a revamped chassis, updated suspension tune, and
reconsidered ergonomics, the new FX is lighter, sharper and more
agile, with a better handling feel. Perfect for carving up tight
cross country courses.
Updates to the 2025 model begin with a
completely redesigned aluminum bilateral beam frame. Based on the
competition-proven YZ250F, the new frame provides just the right
amount of strength and flex for the perfect balance of stability
and cornering performance. The redesign also includes
model-specific engine mounts and lightweight subframe. The result
is a better handling machine with lightweight feel and increased
front wheel traction, allowing the rider to enter corners with
greater confidence and more line choices.
Complementing the revised frame, the YZ250FX’s
class-leading, fully adjustable KYB® suspension is 10mm shorter and
includes updated settings to deliver exceptional balance between
handling and bump absorption, along with less pitch on corner
entry/exit. The revised frame and suspension settings also result
in a lower center of gravity for improved maneuverability in tight,
technical terrain and an easier reach to the ground. Additionally,
the front fork now includes a new hand-adjustable knob for easy,
toolless compression adjustments.
Ergonomics are also enhanced, with a slimmer,
flatter, more compact body lending a razor-thin feel and effortless
body movement when shifting weight forward and back. The rider
triangle is more generous as well with more space between the seat
and foot pegs.
Other notable changes for 2025 include a
completely redesigned intake system along with optimized ECU
settings for better control on the low-end and even more mid- to
high-end power. The new FX also receives the next generation of
Yamaha’s industry leading Power Tuner App, now even simpler to use
with a quick-adjust slide bar for easy engine tuning, and more
functionality including new four-level Traction Control. Best of
all, it’s still free-of-charge.

New 2025 Yamaha WR250F
Aimed at setting a new benchmark for 250cc

a lower center of gravity, quicker handling through tight turns,
and more confidence inspiring with a host of significant
enhancements. The end result is an enduro weapon that’s easy to

versatile than ever.
Updates for 2025 are also based on the YZ250F
motocrosser, starting with a new bilateral beam frame with
precisely tuned flex characteristics and unique engine mounts to
ensure excellent stability, turning and bump absorption.
The WR250F’s class-leading suspension has been
revised and lowered 10mm, contributing to the lower center of
gravity for a planted feel and increased ability in tight turns.
Fully adjustable KYB® fork with speed-sensitive damping delivers
championship-winning performance, and now includes a
hand-adjustable knob for easy compression adjustments. Linkage-type
rear suspension features a KYB® shock with settings optimized to
provide less pitch on corner entry/exit for improved stability.
The seat is now flatter, slimmer, with a more
rounded profile, radiator shrouds are two inches narrower, and the
fuel tank is slimmer. The new riding position provides more legroom
between the seat and pegs, while the bars are moved forward.
Altogether, ergonomic enhancements allow for better movement front
to rear, easier leg extension, improved seating to standing
transitions and a greater feeling of control.
The 2025 WR250F uses the same revolutionary
front-intake, rear-exhaust, liquid-cooled, four-stroke power plant
as the YZ250F, but tuned for enduro conditions along with an added
wide-ratio six-speed transmission for versatility. A new intake
design draws air from under the side covers and seat allowing for a
more compact body. The more efficient path also boosts mid- to
high-rpm engine performance. There is also new four-level Traction
Control tuning, lap timer and helpful tuning guides enabled through
Yamaha’s groundbreaking next-generation Power Tuner App.
