Positioned in Yamaha's trial motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Yamaha XT250R pairs a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 23.6 Nm (17.4 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 77.0 x 53.6 mm (3.0 x 2.1 inches) with a 11.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the XT250R measures 134 kg (295 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 930 mm (36.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,420 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.6-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 112 km/h (70 mph).
