Key Features

Powerful and Lightweight Engine

• High-Capacity Air Intake: The YZ450F’s engine is equipped with an advanced air intake system that allows for increased airflow and maximized engine efficiency, resulting in more power and smoother power delivery at all RPMs.
• Light, Slim Engine: The engine is designed to be compact and lightweight, helping reduce the overall weight of the bike while delivering exceptional power. It is engineered for easy handling and reduced rider fatigue, enabling greater track agility.
• Disc Spring Clutch: The disc spring clutch provides smoother operation and better feel, enhancing clutch durability and providing consistent power delivery when needed.
• Lightweight Balancer Mechanism: The balancer mechanism features a single balancer weight and a hollow shaft, minimizing engine vibration and contributing to a smoother ride while keeping the engine lightweight.

Aluminium Bilateral Beam Frame

• The aluminium bilateral beam frame combines strength with lightweight design, offering superior rigidity and agility. It enhances the YZ450F’s overall handling, allowing for quicker response and more precise control, particularly in fast corners and high-speed sections of the track.
• This strong yet lightweight frame provides riders with the confidence to push the bike to its limits, offering an ideal balance between performance and durability.

Seamless Ergonomic Bodywork

• The YZ450F’s bodywork is designed to be slim and aerodynamic, offering the rider easy movement and improved comfort. The flat seat and ergonomic bodywork allow for rapid weight shifting and provide a better overall riding posture, which is critical during intense maneuvers.
• Ergonomically designed to fit riders of different sizes and physiques, the rider triangle (seat, footrest, and handlebar positions) allows for better mobility and greater control.

Suspension & Handling

• Best-in-Class KYB Suspension: The KYB speed-sensitive front forks and lightweight rear shock are designed to provide excellent bump absorption and high levels of traction. These top-tier suspension components ensure that the YZ450F delivers a smooth, stable ride, whether you’re landing from big jumps or navigating rough terrain.
• Hand-Adjustable Compression Damping Adjuster: The forks are equipped with a hand-adjustable compression damping adjuster, which makes it easy for riders to adjust suspension settings on the fly. The Power Tuner app also provides access to suspension setting advice, enabling quick and accurate adjustments tailored to the rider’s preferences or track conditions.

Launch Control System & Traction Control

• Launch Control System: For fast starts, the YZ450F’s launch control system offers two key functions: the Rev Clip and Ignition Retard functions. The Rev Clip allows you to limit the engine speed between 6,000 and 11,000 RPM in 500 RPM increments, helping you get the best holeshot possible when the gate drops. This system ensures that the engine delivers optimal power when launching off the start line.
• Traction Control System: The YZ450F comes equipped with a traction control system that offers three levels of intervention as well as an OFF function. This allows riders to easily adjust the level of traction control based on track surface conditions, whether it’s a hard-packed track, muddy conditions, or slick terrain. The Power Tuner app enables easy customization of the system to suit different weather and track conditions.

Power Tuner App

• The Power Tuner app has been a game-changer in motocross, and the 2024 YZ450F benefits from its easy-to-use interface. Riders can quickly adjust engine settings to match their riding style or track conditions, tuning the engine for a smoother or more aggressive power delivery.
• Through the app, riders can access suspension settings, adjust traction control, and fine-tune power delivery with just a few taps on their smartphone.
