2023 Yamaha XT250

Chassis / Suspension

• STRONG, COMPACT FRAME: A semi-double-cradle steel frame achieves a lighter, nimbler feel through optimized mass centralization. Greater lateral and torsional rigidity along with reduced weight of the lower frame parts help produce light, stable handling.
• ADVANCED LONG-TRAVEL SUSPENSION: The front fork has 8.9 inches of travel to soak up the rough stuff, both on- and off-road while an aluminum lower triple clamp reduces weight.
• NIMBLE STEERING: The maximum turning angle of the handlebar is 51 degrees—almost like a trials machine—combined with a short wheelbase of only 53.5 inches, the XT250 has a super-tight turning radius for excellent maneuverability.
• LINKAGE-STYLE SHOCK: A rear shock provides 7.1 inches of wheel travel through a progressive Monocross® linkage system for a smooth ride.
• DIRT-READY WHEELS: 21-inch front and 18-inch rear aluminum wheels are extremely durable and reduce unsprung weight for enhanced suspension performance and handling.
• GENEROUS GROUND CLEARANCE: Impressive 11.2 inches of ground clearance means you’ve got serious off-road capability.

Engine

• RELIABLE FOUR-STROKE MOTOR: The 249cc air-cooled four-stroke with 9.5:1 compression makes for great on- and off-road performance.
• MODERN FUEL INJECTION: The XT250's fuel injection offers smooth throttle response and easy starting in a range of conditions.
• ADVANCED CYLINDER DESIGN: A light and strong forged piston inside a plated cylinder helps dissipate heat more efficiently, increasing both performance and durability.
• RESPONSIVE POWER: A light crankshaft provides quick, responsive power.
• FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION: Wide-ratio five-speed transmission provides maximum power and performance in a wide range of terrain and conditions.
• EFFICIENT INTAKE DESIGN: The XT250's straighter intake tract improves performance.
• CONVENIENT ELECTRIC START: Hassle-free push-button electric starting adds extra convenience and reliability.
• TRAIL-READY CHASSIS: The engine is mounted high in the frame for a trail-ready 11.2 inches of ground clearance.
• LOW MAINTENANCE ENGINE: Automatic cam chain tensioner means minimal maintenance and longer engine life.
