2023 YAMAHA YZ450FX Dirtbike

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

• ADVANCED BILATERAL ALUMINUM FRAME: The upper frame bracing provides rigidity and durability while rear frame spars and cross country-tuned engine mounts centralize mass for the best possible balance of impact absorption, stiffness and rider feeling.
• CLASS-LEADING SUSPENSION: The industry-leading, fully adjustable Speed Sensitive System KYB® coil spring-type fork provides exceptional balance between handling and bump absorption for race-winning handling performance. The linkage type rear suspension uses a KYB® shock with specially-tuned damping characteristics to match the YZ450FX chassis with both front and rear system settings for optimal GNCC® performance.
• 270MM FRONT BRAKE: Large 270mm front rotor coupled with aggressive pad material offer excellent braking performance and feel with exceptional stopping power and controllability.
• COMPACT BODY & SEAT DESIGN: The YZ450FX features stylish bodywork from tip to tail, including a large 2.15-gallon mass-centralized fuel tank. The body design is narrow for more comfortable knee grip and control feeling while the narrower and lower seat gives the rider additional room to move aboard the machine.
• CROSS COUNTRY WHEELS & TIRES: The YZ450FX features enduro-specific Dunlop® Geomax MX33 tires for the ideal balance of traction and durability, complete with an 18-inch rear wheel. Each wheel’s cross-sectional profile is computer-designed to shave valuable weight without sacrificing durability.
