Yamaha WR 250F

The Yamaha WR250F gets more powerful and sharper for the new season with a whole range of the latest advanced technology from the Grand Prix-winning YZ250F motocross bike. Featuring a newly designed high-performance engine and a specially adapted aluminium chassis, the latest WR250F is built to play fast.

A new YZ250F-type cylinder head with a wider intake port and new exhaust camshaft gives more rapid mid to top-end performance while retaining the WR250F’s strong low rpm torque – and a new lightweight aluminium beam frame from Yamaha’s motocross bike has been enduro-tuned to give the right balance of rigidity for more precise feel and accurate surface feedback over tough terrain.

And a lighter and more powerful front braking system gives you ultimate controllability – and special enduro features include a new multi-function meter and a revised exhaust and muffler design. The light-feeling clutch and 6-speed wide-ratio transmission are ready for the most extreme challenge – and with the Power Tuner smartphone app and a 2-mode engine map switch, the intelligent WR250F can be set up to master virtually any riding conditions.

The WR250F is built to shake up the world of enduro and change the way that you look at the 250cc 4-stroke class. Featuring the very latest motocross technology from Yamaha’s Grand Prix-winning YZ250F – and equipped with a range of enduro-specific features – it’s one of the most exciting bikes of the decade.

Yamaha’s WR lineup has built an enviable reputation for performance, handling and reliability among racers and fast trail riders alike. First launched in 2001, the WR250F continues to be developed to suit local terrain and riders through its array of advancements it received in 2022 while the WR450F still benefits from the 2021 improvements.

Featuring a wide range of updates, the WR250F model provides an even faster way through the bush for 2022. Now stepping up the off-road experience to the next level, the WR250F features the benchmark YZ250F as a base with a combination of cutting-edge off-road features.

The WR250F’s liquid-cooled, four-stroke, electric start engine features an all-new cylinder head with a larger and improved intake port shape and new exhaust camshaft profile straight from the dominant YZ250F.

These modifications, along with other refinements like revised engine balancer and gear shift cam help to produce stronger mid to top-end performance and increased peak power, while retaining class- leading low-end torque.

Tuned specifically for the 2022 WR250F, the updated lightweight aluminum bilateral beam frame and new engine mounts have been redesigned with all-new flex characteristics to improve bump absorption, traction, and cornering performance.
