Overview

The 2026 Yamaha YZ250F is a motocross bike in production for 2026. Its 249.0 cm³ single-cylinder, two-stroke engine makes 25 hp (19 kW), and the bike weighs 103.0 kg wet.

At 975 mm, the seat is high, which can make it harder for shorter riders to plant their feet at a stop. The 103.0 kg wet weight helps keep the bike manageable during low-speed maneuvering, while 360 mm of ground clearance suits rough terrain. Both KYB® suspension units are fully adjustable, and electric starting avoids kick-starting; the premix lubrication system means oil must be mixed with the fuel.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Fully adjustable suspension

    The KYB® fork and rear shock can be adjusted to suit different riders and track conditions.

  • Electric starting

    The electric starter makes restarting easier than relying on a kick starter.

  • High ground clearance

    The 360 mm clearance helps the bike pass over uneven terrain without its underside sitting close to the ground.

Things to consider

  • Tall seat

    The 975 mm seat height can make it difficult for shorter riders to put a foot down securely.

  • Premix lubrication

    The premix system requires mixing oil with fuel before riding.
