Yamaha’s WR250F and WR450F enduro bikes feature some of the smartest technology in the off-road world. Based on their championship and race-winning motocross siblings, both the WR450F and WR250F stand out in the enduro segment as the ultimate off-road motorcycle. For 2025, the WR250F is ready to propel its riders to victory with performance, handling and ergonomic improvements that raise the bar again in the 250cc enduro class.

2025 WR250F: MORE FEELING, CLASS LEADING DEMPING, INCREDIBLE AGILITY Developed from Yamaha’s Grand Prix-winning YZ250F motocross machine, and built to conquer the most technical trails. The heavily updated WR250F offers race-winning performance across a wide range of riding conditions in 2025.
Updates include a new cam chain to reduce friction losses, an optimized bilateral beam frame with improved feedback and agility, best-in-class KYB suspension for increased stability and shock absorption, better power delivery through a new high-efficiency air control system, and also a new compact design with a narrower and flatter seat.

The WR250F’s redesigned chassis takes inspiration from the race-winning YZ250F’s with a whole new level of handling, but also includes key improvements for top-level enduro riding. The frame now features a 15mm lower tank brace with a U-shaped rear profile, with the associated stretch brace also reduced by 15mm. This lowers the motorcycle’s center of gravity and contributes to better stability and agility when cornering. To give the rider as much feel and feedback as possible, the shock absorption and lateral flex characteristics of the new frame were given a lot of focus in the development, helping to absorb the shocks from the ground and contributing to increased rider endurance.
Revised KYB forks with a 10 mm shorter stroke, combined with a new KYB rear shock that is 10 mm lower than before, lowers the motorcycle’s center of gravity and reduces the seat height for increased stability and agility.

In addition, the front fork features a convenient adjustable compression damping system that allows you to fine-tune suspension settings without tools, and reinforced dust seals and wider fork protection provide increased protection against rocks and gravel, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability. The rear wheel features a new lightweight hub with 3-cross spokes and a new 22mm wheel stud designed to provide better shock absorption feel, bringing rider feedback to a whole new level.

To improve power characteristics, the 2025 WR250F features a redesigned high-efficiency air management system, complete with a new air box that draws air from the rear through channels in the new side panels, frame and tank. A redesigned short muffler provides better mass centralization and increases the motorcycle’s compact feel. Furthermore, the updated ECU has been tweaked to deliver smoother, more controllable power in the low rpm range, and peak performance in the mid- and top-end.
The upgraded 2025 overhead cam engine also features a new cam chain design with a wider chain, revised gears, and dampers to reduce friction losses.
Otherwise, the WR250F’s updated look features 50mm narrower fairings, a narrower fuel tank and a flatter seat to improve rider mobility during braking, acceleration and cornering. The new driving position provides more space between the hips and feet and more freedom for active driving.

Yamaha’s updated Power Tuner app provides even better wireless tuning of the WR250F. The new ‘Quick Tuning’ feature allows riders to adjust engine settings from ‘Smooth’ to ‘Aggressive’ via a simple scroll bar on their smartphone, while adjusting traction control and operating the lap timer are just a few screen taps away. Other updates that enhance the overall quality include a new starter motor, lithium-ion battery and convenient multifunction buttons.

2025 WR450F: THE ENDURO MASTER

The latest WR450F, also heavily revised last year, has similar class-leading specifications and offers a whole new level of controllability for ultimate performance on all types of surface and terrain. With both engine and chassis taken from the MXGP-winning YZ450F, the WR450F delivers motocross-level technology, fine-tuned to tackle even the toughest terrain. In addition, the 2025 models of the WR450F and WR250F feature a seamless seat cover taken from the motocross models. A bold new Icon Blue graphic provides a stylish new look.

And then there’s the icon: PW50. “PeeWee” is perhaps one of the most recognizable motorcycles in the world, and for over 40 years has been the first choice for children’s first two-wheeled experience. The lightweight two-stroke, with fully automatic transmission and handlebar-mounted brakes, is the ultimate beginner’s bike and over 400,000 have been sold to date. All TT-R models and the PW50 will receive the new Icon Blue graphics in 2025 and will be available at retailers.
