Yamaha YZ85LW MY27

The Yamaha YZ85LW MY27 is purpose-built for aspiring motocross riders ready to take the next step in their racing journey. Combining the thrilling performance of Yamaha’s proven YZ85 platform with a large wheel package, the YZ85LW provides increased stability, confidence, and control for riders transitioning toward larger-capacity motocross machines.

For 2027, the YZ85LW receives significant engine updates designed to enhance performance across the entire rev range. The potent 85cc liquid-cooled two-stroke engine now features a VForce4R reed valve intake system, while revised Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) settings help deliver a broader powerband and improved rideability. The result is stronger acceleration, smoother power delivery, and increased rider confidence in a variety of track conditions.

Designed with future champions in mind, the YZ85LW’s chassis delivers the strength, rigidity, and handling precision required for competitive motocross riding. The lightweight aluminium swingarm provides an ideal balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity, contributing to excellent stability during acceleration, braking, and cornering.

A lightweight, removable aluminium rear subframe helps reduce overall weight while maintaining durability and structural integrity. Combined with Yamaha’s race-proven suspension and chassis design, the YZ85LW delivers predictable handling and responsive performance that allows young riders to continue developing their skills with confidence.

The large wheel configuration offers improved ground clearance and enhanced stability, making the YZ85LW the ideal stepping stone for riders progressing through the motocross ranks.
