Built to dominate cross-country courses, the 2025 Yamaha YZ250FX boasts a competition-ready package with significant upgrades to its handling and power. Shedding weight (exact amount yet to be revealed) thanks to a redesigned aluminum bilateral beam frame and lightweight subframe, the YZ250FX feels nimbler than ever.
The suspension system also receives an overhaul, featuring a fully adjustable KYB coil spring fork with a new hand-adjustable knob for effortless compression tweaks. The rear gets a KYB shock with revised settings, primed to tackle any terrain.
For riders who like to tailor their machine’s character to specific terrains, the YZ250FX offers a two-mode adjustable power map. This allows for on-the-fly adjustments to suit varying track conditions. Additionally, a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission ensures riders have the perfect gear for any situation.
Keeping the rubber side down are Dunlop Geomax MX33 tires wrapped around 18-inch wheels. This combination provides exceptional grip and handling, inspiring confidence when pushing the limits. Extending adventuring capabilities is a larger 2.1-gallon fuel tank, translating to longer rides without worrying about running on fumes.
Technology also plays a role in the YZ250FX’s prowess. Riders can leverage the Yamaha Power Tuner App to select from four different traction control settings.
This allows for fine-tuned control over rear wheel grip in ever-changing off-road environments. Scheduled to arrive in dealerships this October, the 2025 YZ250FX will be available in a striking Team Yamaha Blue color scheme and carries a price tag of $9,099.
