The YZ85 is the latest gem in the long line of Yamaha's legendary 2-stroke motocross bikes. The latest YZ85 comes with the same advanced race-bred Technology that goes into the company's adult motocross machines and for 2027 the package is further improved with engine and chassis updates to boost its competitiveness, as well as increase usability and reliability while lowering running costs
There's a reason why many of today's pro riders started their careers on the YZ85 – the model has always had what it takes to launch careers. Now the YZ85 has been improved even further with a wider powerband thanks to intake updates, new carburettor settings and refined Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) for smoother, predictable and useable power delivery across the rev range.
Power and handling alone are not enough, you also need durability and reliability. New materials for the cylinder head and the clutch as well as upgrades to the water pump, transmission and exhaust all make the YZ85 more reliable. With the added ease of use gained through the quick action throttle, new flywheel weight and engine updates, the YZ85 offers an outstanding racing package.
