YZ85LW

Name: YZ85LWV_NZ
Brand: Yamaha

Offering the same YZ85 power and the same YZ85 fun, the YZ85LW steps up to a large wheel package for riders ready to bridge the gap to the next class.

New for 2027, the potent 85cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine's intake system now features the VForce4R reed valve, while the exhaust system’s YPVS settings were also revised, resulting in a wider powerband and enhanced rideability across the entire rev range.

The chassis is built for the best up-and-comers with strength, rigidity and overall handling stability. The aluminium swingarm balances longitudinal and torsional rigidity, and the removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminium reduces weight.

YPVS 2-stroke engine

New for 2027, the potent 85cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine's intake system now features the VForce4R reed valve, while the exhaust system’s YPVS settings were also revised, resulting in a wider powerband and enhanced rideability across the entire rev range.

Lightweight chassis design

The YZ85LW's chassis is built for the best up-and-comers with strength, rigidity and overall handling stability. The aluminium swingarm balances longitudinal and torsional rigidity, and the removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminium reduces weight.

Fully adjustable front forks

The lightweight 36mm KYB® inverted cartridge fork features low-friction outer tubes and internals, plus adjustable compression and rebound damping. Paired with a race-proven fully-adjustable KYB® rear shock with a progressive linkage-type design for excellent bottoming resistance, the combined packaged offer loads of suspension travel for serious competition on the track.

Adjustable rider ergonomics

Riders get greater freedom of movement with increased control and confidence thanks to the flat seat and narrow fuel tank design, smoothly integrated body panels, and slim shroud width. The four-position adjustable handlebars allow riders to tune the bar position to their specific size and preference.

Advanced Intake Design

Advanced intake design allows for a straighter, more efficient draw of air into the intake tract. High-flow airbox ensures excellent air filter performance and easy maintenance.

Wave-style Brake Discs

Big wave-style brake discs offer improved self-cleaning and cooler-running performance. The 220mm front disc and 190mm rear disc deliver strong, precise stopping power. Rear brake master cylinder also includes built-in sub-reservoir to provide more linear brake response and increased control.
