2022 Yamaha YZ250 Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition Guide

2022 Yamaha YZ250 Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition : CLAW YOUR WAY TO THE FRONT.

Introducing the new 2022 Yamaha YZ250 Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition…

Pure performance and full‑throttle adrenaline is what you get from this lightweight and reliable two‑stroke moto machine, with the look of a full factory Monster Energy® ride.

Ride like a monster!

There’s a factory rider inside every one of us just waiting to escape. And only a select group of motocross riders will ever make it to the very top – so just being a part of the one of the greatest extreme sports in the world is a privilege. And when you ride the YZ250 Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition, every single ride feels extra special.

This YZ250 2-stroke already has a reputation as one of the quickest and most agile handling motocross bikes – and the package just got even better with all-new bodywork that improves the ergonomics for an even higher degree of chassis control and agility. Its industry leading suspension features revised low speed damping for better handling, and braking performance is taken to the next level with a new front caliper.

A new higher efficiency air intake and revised exhaust system sharpens the power output of the explosive 250cc liquid-cooled YPVS engine – and the YZ250 Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition’s exclusive black and blue bodywork and factory team-style graphics make this the ultimate 2-stroke for every rider who lives for motocross.

When you take your first look at the YZ250 Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition, you just know that this is the ultimate replica bike. It features a revised, ergonomic chassis and slimline bodywork that ensures enhanced mobility and even higher levels of cornering agility. And in addition to all of that you’ll be the proud owner of a factory team-style bike, that is one of the most desirable 2-strokes in the paddock.

The combination of a high-powered 250cc 2-stroke YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve System) engine, lightweight aluminum chassis and one of the best suspension packages in its class makes this bike like no other and one of the most exciting motocross bikes you’ll ever ride. In its time it’s won everything worth winning in motocross, supercross and freestyle MX. Now Yamaha have made it even sharper!

The all-new slimline bodywork makes for a dynamic and ultra-modern look – and the atter seat enables easier bodyweight shifting when accelerating, cornering or braking – for a higher degree of control. While the new more powerful front braking system and revised suspension damping help to cut lap times. And in its exclusive black livery with factory team-style graphics, the YZ250 Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition is the most desirable 2-stroke!

 

 

 

2022 Yamaha YZ250 Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features
  • New, Modern Monster Energy® YZ Styling
    Aggressive, race-inspired styling—from the sharp new bodywork including front and rear fenders, radiator shrouds and number plates, to the smaller details like fork guards, rear brake disc and caliper protectors, and wide foot pegs—spotlights the YZ250’s extensive two-stroke racing pedigree from every angle. A Monster Energy®‑inspired graphics package completes the factory-ride look and feel.
  • Improved Rider Ergonomics
    A new flatter seat and more narrow fuel tank design, along with smoothly integrated body panels and slimmer shroud width, combine to enable greater freedom of movement forward and back, allowing the rider to easily shift body weight for increased control and confidence.
  • High Performance Braking System
    Lightweight braking system features larger front pistons, a more rigid caliper, a redesigned 270mm front rotor with a 30% increase in pad contact area and higher friction pad material, all combining to provide exceptional braking power and feel. The redesigned rear rotor maintains the same braking power while dropping outer diameter from 245mm to 240mm, further reducing unsprung weight with no compromise on performance.
  • Revised Suspension Damping
    Further improving the YZ250’s already renowned suspension performance, front and rear suspension has been revised to further improve bump absorption and cornering ability. KYB® inverted front fork now includes a leaf spring in the mid-speed valve for increased performance and comfort.

    A carefully engineered, advanced aluminum frame and swingarm give the YZ250 class-leading track performance.
  • Rider-Friendly Chassis
    Well-tuned chassis and ultra-light weight means intuitive handling, less rider fatigue, and a confidence-boosting sense of control.
  • High Performance Braking System
    Lightweight braking system features larger front pistons, a more rigid caliper, a redesigned 270mm front rotor with a 30% increase in pad contact area and higher friction pad material, all combining to provide exceptional braking power and feel. The redesigned rear rotor maintains the same braking power while dropping outer diameter from 245mm to 240mm, further reducing unsprung weight with no compromise on performance.
