Yamaha's Commitment to Motocross Racing

Powering Young Riders into the victorYZone

Yamaha's range of winning YZ race bikes has been one of the most dominant forces in motocross competition for five decades. Since the brand won its first MX World Championship back in 1973, Yamaha YZs have claimed victory in every major international category.  

By racing and winning at the highest level, the company has gained unrivalled experience in dirt bike design, enabling Yamaha's engineers to develop some of the most ground breaking

engine and chassis technologies for the YZ models.

Yamaha has always believed in making off-road riding accessible to riders of every age from pre-school and upwards, and the company was one of the first manufacturers to develop purpose-built motocross and leisure models for the youth market. Today Yamaha offers one of the most comprehensive lines of off-road motorcycles that are designed for everyone from complete beginners through to experienced professionals.
