New 2026 Yamaha YZ65

Designed for the discriminating mini-moto racer with dreams of victory. The YZ65 is the perfect first step into the victory zone.

Features may include:

Exciting 65cc YPVS Two-Stroke Engine

The compact 65cc two-stroke powerplant features the same advanced technologies found in the race-winning YZ125 and YZ250 motocrossers, including the patented Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) producing crisp bottom-end torque with potent mid-range and free-revving top-end for exhilarating two-stroke power that punches above its weight class, while remaining fun and easy to manage for smaller riders.

High Performance Adjustable Suspension

High performance KYB suspension includes a 36mm coil spring fork offering excellent compliance with settings based on Yamahas extensive racing experience. A linkless shock design is light and compact and works through a swingarm with YZ125-style chain adjusters. Both front and rear suspension is adjustable for both rebound and compression damping.

Advanced Motocross Frame

With a chassis based on an advanced steel cradle frame, the YZ65 offers light, neutral handling. Designed around the rigidity balance required for the 65cc class, this frame delivers excellent bump absorption in the roughest track sections, jump landings and whoop sections. A removable aluminum rear subframe is constructed of square-section tubing for reduced weight and convenient maintenance, just like the full-size YZ motocross bikes.

Adjustable Ergonomics

The YZ65 is highly tunable to fit riders of various sizes with a four-position adjustable aluminum handlebar clamp, adjustable clutch and front brake levers, grippy foot pegs, and a long, flat seat design that helps riders move across the bike.
