YAMAHA YZ85 MY27

Yamaha YZ85 MY27

The Yamaha YZ85 MY27 is designed for the next generation of motocross champions, delivering race-ready performance, lightweight handling, and Yamaha’s proven two-stroke technology in a compact and competitive package. Built for young riders who are serious about developing their skills and chasing podium finishes, the YZ85 combines exciting performance with confidence-inspiring control.

For 2027, the YZ85 receives key engine upgrades designed to improve performance across the entire rev range. The powerful 85cc liquid-cooled two-stroke engine now features a VForce4R reed valve intake system, while revised Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) settings help create a broader, more usable powerband. These updates provide stronger acceleration, improved throttle response, and enhanced rideability for riders looking to maximise their performance on the track.

The race-developed chassis is engineered to deliver the ideal combination of strength, rigidity, and handling precision. A lightweight aluminium swingarm provides excellent stability and control by balancing longitudinal and torsional rigidity, while a removable high-strength aluminium rear subframe helps reduce overall weight without compromising durability.

Designed to help riders progress with confidence, the YZ85 offers agile handling characteristics that make it easy to navigate corners, jumps, and technical track sections. The lightweight construction and responsive chassis allow young riders to focus on improving their technique while enjoying the exciting performance that Yamaha’s two-stroke motocross machines are known for.

Built with Yamaha’s championship-winning motocross heritage, the YZ85 is ready to deliver competitive performance straight from the showroom floor.
