2020 Yamaha YZ125X
An all-new model for 2020, the Yamaha YZ125X is optimised for racing in the bush. It sports Yamaha’s Power Valve System-equipped (YPVS) 125cc, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, reed-valve-inducted engine, combined with a six-speed transmission tuned for smooth, wide, and controllable power character across the rev range.
Enduro race performance is optimised with model specific Digital CDI ignition settings, new power valve shape and a new cylinder head combustion chamber shape. All these engine changes are focused on creating broad power delivery that suits off-road terrain and a wide range of rider skill levels.
The YZ125X has an ultra-lightweight aluminium frame carefully engineered for balance of rigidity and flex. To tackle punishing terrain with durability and comfort, YZ125 also features a sealed O-ring chain, a standard sidestand and fuel tank petcock with reserve position.

Fully adjustable, industry-leading KYB speed-sensitive spring-type suspension has been tested and tuned specifically for the needs of cross-country racers. Enduro-specific Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires with an 18-inch rear are ready to head straight to the races thanks to taller sidewalls for improved comfort and reduced pinch flats.
A large 270mm front disc brake coupled with high-performance pad material offers outstanding machine control and performance, with exceptional stopping power and controllability for tight wooded trails.
The all-new 2020 YZ125X is designed to appeal to junior and entry level enduro racers and other riders who appreciate the benefits of a lightweight two-stroke on full noise. YZ125X will come in Team Yamaha Blue – pricing and availability are to be announced.
