WR250F
Motocross performance, enduro stamina.
The new WR250F is built to shake up the enduro world and completely change the way the four-stroke 250cc class is viewed.

Equipped with the powerful YZ250F engine, which benefits from a wide intake port and a more powerful exhaust camshaft and ECU, this is the fastest WR250F ever. And with its refined motocross-style aluminum chassis, specially adapted to the unique demands of enduro, and a 270mm diameter front disc brake, this motorcycle plays in a whole new league.
