Yamaha didn’t just aim to increase the power output of its 250 four-stroke motocrosser; the bLU cRU also went to work on the bike’s chassis in order to improve bump absorption, traction, and cornering performance. The most notable revisions made to the YZ250F’s chassis include an updated aluminum frame, which features changes to the lateral beams and engine cradle tube thickness to provide different flex characteristics, and new engine mounts. The top triple clamp, handlebar mounts, and front axle have also been redesigned to complement the new frame. The YZ250F’s KYB Speed Sensitive System (SSS) fork and KYB shock feature revised damping characteristics to match the updated chassis as well.

Newly engineered front and rear brake calipers that are said to be lighter weight, brake pads with a larger surface area, and redesigned front and rear discs are all designed to contribute to improved braking performance on the YZ250F. Lastly, to enhance overall durability, the crankcase, cam chain, cam-chain tensioner, water pump, clutch basket, and the third, fourth, and fifth gears in the transmission have all been refined. The 2021 Yamaha YZ250F will be available in dealers this September in Team Yamaha Blue for $8,299. The Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition YZ250F will be available from dealers in September as well with a retail price of $8,499.
