In the company’s 65th anniversary year, Yamaha announces the most technologically advanced range of Off Road Competition models for the 2021 season. This year started on a high with Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing team rider Dylan Ferrandis taking a fabulous back-to-back 250SX West Coast title on his YZ250F – while Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 team rider Jago Geerts claimed a stunning MX2 victory at the season’s first Grand Prix.
Featuring a thoroughly refined engine, revised frame, and new brakes, the new YZ250F is quicker, sharper and smoother. And combined with an industry-leading suspension package plus the high-tech digital Power Tuner app, that enables quick and easy trackside engine remapping to suit different tracks, rider styles and conditions, the new 2021 YZ250F gives every rider the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
