Running with a high compression ratio - and equipped with a close ratio 6-speed transmission - the YZ85 delivers outstanding acceleration with race winning power.

Yamaha YZ85 Lightweight Chassis Design

LIGHTWEIGHT CHASSIS DESIGN

Built for demanding junior racers, the YZ85's chassis is optimised for strength, rigidity and overall handling stability. The aluminium swingarm offers refined balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity, and the removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminium reduces weight.
