Yamaha Announces New YZ250FX & WR250F

Along with Key Updates to Returning Off-Road Lineup

Yamaha Motor Canada announces a couple new bikes in their off-road line-up plus a look at the other competition bikes for 2025

TORONTO, ON – July 10, 2024 – Yamaha Motor Canada Ltd. is introducing its entire lineup of 2025 off-
road motorcycles with thrilling options for motocross enthusiasts ranging from young beginner riders to seasoned professionals.

The spotlight for 2025 falls on the exciting and ultra-capable new YZ250FX and WR250F. Based closely
on Yamaha’s class-dominating YZ250F motocross bike, the new YZ250FX and WR250F are both designed to be slimmer, lighter and more agile off-road weapons, ready for competition straight out of the box. The YZ250FX includes specific suspension and engine tuning suited to the extreme conditions of cross-country racing, while the WR250F is prepped for enduro with unique engine and suspension tuning, an H4 headlight, LED taillight, shortened muffler with spark arrestor and other specific enduro features.

New 2025 Yamaha YZ250FX

The new 2025 YZ250FX features an extensive list of enhancements designed to further boost its class-
leading performance and capability. With a revamped chassis, updated suspension tune, and reconsidered ergonomics, the new FX is lighter, sharper and more agile, with a better handling feel. Perfect for carving up tight cross-country courses!

Updates to the 2025 model begin with a completely redesigned aluminum bilateral beam frame. Based on the competition-proven YZ250F, the new frame provides just the right amount of strength and flex for the perfect balance of stability and cornering performance. The redesign also includes model-specific engine mounts and lightweight subframe. The result is a better handling machine with lightweight feel and increased front wheel traction, allowing the rider to enter corners with greater confidence and more line choices.

Complementing the revised frame, the YZ250FX’s class-leading, fully adjustable KYB® suspension is
10mm shorter and includes updated settings to deliver exceptional balance between handling and bump
absorption, along with less pitch on corner entry/exit. The revised frame and suspension settings also result in a lower centre of gravity for improved maneuverability in tight, technical terrain and an easier reach to the ground. Additionally, the front fork now includes a new hand-adjustable knob for easy, toolless compression adjustments.

Ergonomics are also enhanced with a slimmer, flatter, more compact body lending a razor-thin feel and
effortless body movement when shifting weight forward and back. The rider triangle is more generous as
well with more space between the seat and footpegs.

Other notable changes for 2025 include a completely redesigned intake system along with optimized ECU settings for better control on the low-end and even more mid- to high-end power. The new FX also receives the next generation of Yamaha’s industry leading Power Tuner App, now even simpler to use with a quick- adjust slide bar for easy engine tuning, and more functionalities including the new three-level Traction Control. Best of all, it’s still free-of-charge.
