Motor Corporation, USA, today announced their exciting 2-stroke
motocross models for 2019. Highlighted by the new YZ85, the
2-stroke lineup includes the return of the iconic YZ125 and
YZ250.
New 2019 YZ85
The new 2019 YZ85 youth motocross bike arrives with major redesigns
purely focused on performance. Featuring an all-new engine,
suspension, and more, the YZ85 is designed to provide Yamaha
bLU cRU riders with race-winning performance and unrivaled
reliability.
All-New Engine
A newly-designed 85cc liquid-cooled 2-stroke engine featuring a
case reed-valve intake and a mechanical Yamaha Power Valve System
(YPVS) lies at the heart of the 2019 YZ85. Combined with a
redesigned cylinder and head, crankcase, crankshaft, connecting
rod, transmission, exhaust and CDI unit, this new YZ engine
provides broad, tractable power across the rev range without losing
peak power at high RPM.
Updated Chassis and Optimized Ergonomics
The semi-double-cradle steel frame, removable subframe and
redesigned aluminum swing-arm provide a nimble feel, confident
handling and ease of maintenance. The ergonomics feature a flat,
comfortable seat, four-position adjustable aluminum tapered
handlebars and adjustable-reach levers to provide comfort and ease
of movement for a wide range of young rider sizes.
Updated Brake System
For 2019, a new, stiffer front brake line with new routing improves
braking feel, while wave-style brake discs offer improved
self-cleaning and cooler-running performance. The 220mm front disc
and 190mm rear disc deliver strong, precise stopping power.
Easily Tuned KYB® Coil Spring Suspension
The new YZ85 features KYB®'s race-proven, fully
adjustable 36mm coil spring fork with one-piece outer tubes and
tapered shape to provide optimal rigidity balance. This provides
exceptional handling, bump absorption and ease of set-up for
race-winning performance. The KYB® fully adjustable
link-type shock utilizes specially designed damping characteristics
to match the new chassis.
