2026 Yamaha Yz450F Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the cross - motocross motorcycle segment, the 2026 Yamaha Yz450F pairs a 450 cc engine architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 97.0mm × 60.8mm with a 13.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Yz450F measures 243 kg (536 lbs) wet (curb).
