Stunning Two-Stroke Power, Tuned for Cross-Country and Hare Scrambles RacingThe YZ250X is optimized for the unique demands of Hare Scrambles and GNCC® racing. The YPVS-equipped 249cc two-stroke engine is combined with a wide-ratio five-speed transmission for the ultimate cross-country power plant.
Innovative Hare Scramble/GNCC® Engine DesignBased on the championship-winning YZ250F, featuring Yamaha's revolutionary rearward slanted, liquid-cooled, DOHC 4-stroke power plant with forward-positioned straight downdraft symmetrical intake, and with an added sixth gear and wide ratio transmission, the YZ250FX is an "out-of-the-box" Hare Scrambles/GNCC® competition machine.
Innovative Engine DesignA liquid-cooled, DOHC 4-valve, fuel-injected engine with forward-positioned downdraft intake delivers class leading engine power, updated for 2017 to further improve top-end power. This engine design allows for unmatched mass centralization, concentrating the motorcycle's key components—engine, fuel tank and exhaust system—toward the center of the motorcycle achieving light and nimble handling performance.
Modern StylingModern, aggressive styling, including front fender, front number plate, radiator shrouds, side number plates, air box, rear fender, fork guards, as well as the rear brake disc protector, rear brake caliper protector and wider foot pegs—just like the 4-strokes.
