Description

YAMAHA YFZ450R 70th ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Designed to win, built to thrill. The YFZ450R 70th Anniversary Edition fuses Yamaha’s uncompromising race DNA with throwback style – featuring a limited-edition livery inspired by our ’90s off road sports machines. Victory runs in white and red.

With its assist and slipper clutch and high-performance 450cc engine, the YFZ450R 70th Anniversary Edition is engineered for precise cornering, blistering acceleration and lightning-fast response.

Razor-sharp handling, lightweight shocks and rider-centric ergonomics make the YFZ450R as agile as it is powerful. Now in anniversary colours that pay homage to a racing legacy that still leads the pack.

Iconic 70th Anniversary race-inspired livery

Marking 70 years of Yamaha innovation, this special edition features classic white and red bodywork with bold retro graphics – inspired by our early ’90s off road race bikes. A striking tribute to Yamaha’s winning heritage and racing spirit.

Race-bred high-performance engine

The YFZ450R’s race-bred five-valve four-stroke 450cc engine features a compression ratio of 11.8:1 and high-performance camshafts for instant throttle response and race-winning high rpm power. The Air Induction System gives high fuel efficiency, reduced exhaust emissions and increased durability.

Slick-shifting transmission

The YFZ450R’s 5-speed transmission is one of the slickest shifting systems in its class, and is fitted with an assist and slipper clutch – the first time this race-developed technology has been used in this category. The system makes shifting between gears even easier for quicker lap times and reduced fatigue.

Assist and slipper clutch

The first in its class to feature an assist and slipper clutch that’s designed to partially disengage when you’re downshifting quickly for a turn. By virtually eliminating the effects of engine braking, the slipper clutch allows the rider to control corner entry speeds using the brakes for enhanced control and reduced lap times.

Long travel adjustable suspension

For reduced unsprung weight this model is fitted with KYB piggyback front shock absorbers and a calibrated rear shock. These adjustable units give refined handling performance to give you the edge over other competitors.

Hybrid chassis engineering

The YFZ450R uses a special combination of aluminium and steel in its frame and swingarm construction. This innovative “hybrid” design offers a winning combination of low weight together with outstanding strength and rigidity.

Electronic fuel injection

For sharp throttle response, the YFZ450R is equipped with a 42 mm Mikuni throttle body, which includes an Idle speed control system for easy and reliable starting and warming up. This advanced system delivers instantaneous pick-up and contributes towards reduced towards reduced emissions.

Ergonomic design

The YFZ450R is designed to work in perfect harmony with the rider for improved performance on the track and added comfort. The front and rear mudguards are designed to give more space around the rider for easy weight shifting when cornering or accelerating – and the heel guards are also relocated further back.
