Y amaha has given its YZ250FX and WR250F off-road bikes a significant chassis and suspension makeover for 2025. Both bikes are based closely on the latest version of the YZ250F moto- crosser; the FX is tuned more for GNCC- type closed-course racing, and the WR is tuned more for longer-distance enduros and technical trail riding. Both bikes have "completely rede - signed" frames with a lower center of gravity "for enhanced maneuverability and easier reach to the ground in tight, tricky conditions," says Yamaha. New, flatter and more narrow bodywork "eases rider movement and updated ergonomics offer increased legroom and more comfort." Their KYB suspensions have been refined and now include a hand-adjustable knob on the fork for toolless compression adjustment. Yamaha revised its Yamaha Power Tun - er App, which it says is more user-friendly. It now has an intuitive new "Simple Tun- ing" slide bar, helpful new engine and suspension tuning guides, and additional new features, like a new four-level select - able Traction Control System controlled through the Power Tuner App. The 2025 Yamaha YZ250FX and WR250F will be available in October with MSRPs of $9099.
