2025 Yamaha YZ85POTENT YPVS™ TWO-STROKE POWER

The 85cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine features the Yamaha Power Valve System for broad power across the rev range without losing peak power at high rpms—improving rideability and reducing the need for frequent shifting.

2025 Yamaha YZ85ENHANCED CHASSIS 

For demanding junior racers, the YZ85's chassis is optimized for strength, rigidity and overall handling stability. The aluminum swingarm offers refined balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity, and the removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminum reduces weight.

2025 Yamaha YZ85HIGH-QUALITY EMBEDDED GRAPHICS

Inspired by its YZ125 sibling, the sharp graphics scheme highlights the YZ's unmatched racing pedigree. Premium Yamaha Blue and dark blue graphics are embedded to provide excellent durability and scratch resistance.
