The YZ65 is the bike that has the speed, handling and durability you need to succeed in one of the world's toughest sports. It's a serious youth motocross race bike and is designed for every young racer with a real desire to win.
Welcome to the victorYZone!
The YZ65 has been built to the same high standards as Yamaha’s range of adult race bikes. Its potent 65cc liquid-cooled 6-speed engine features Yamaha’s race developed YPVS for race-winning power – and the light semi-double cradle steel frame with aluminium subframe provides stable handling and high agility.
Adjustable 36mm upside down front forks and link-less Monocross rear suspension give stable handling over rough terrain, and the adjustable handlebar position enables the YZ65 to grow with you. Equipped with wave discs for powerful braking, a long padded seat and high-grip footrests for comfy riding, as well as dynamic new YZ-family graphics and updated Icon Blue bodywork, the YZ65 is ready to take you to the victorYZone!
Smooth and easy to use power
The punchy 65cc liquid cooled engine is one of the most advanced in its class and features a race-developed crankcase reed valve induction system for instant throttle response. A key feature is the race developed YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve System) that gives smooth torque and power characteristics, making the YZ65 an ideal bike for young racers.
Light and stable handling
The YZ65 is equipped with a semi-double cradle steel frame that features an aluminium subframe, giving light and stable handling and easy agility. To soak up the harshest bumps this class-leading motocross bike comes with 36mm KYB upside down front forks, an aluminium swing arm and link-less Monocross rear suspension. These main components combine to provide outstanding chassis stability and consistent lap times.
Effortless 6-speed transmission
The 6-speed transmission features carefully chosen gear ratios that have been specially developed to enable the rider to achieve lower lap times by fully utilising the performance of the 65cc engine. Yamaha engineers have also designed the clutch plates and springs to give a light and easy clutch lever character.
Confident cornering
The 36mm KYB upside down front forks underline the fact that the YZ65 shares the same pure racing DNA that goes into our other YZ models. With their excellent rigidity, they give a planted front-end feel for confident cornering – and their long-travel tubes are built to soak up the bumpiest surfaces.
Smooth and stable riding
YZ65 riders can be confident that along with the front forks, the Monocross rear suspension is also designed to deliver a smooth and stable ride, and not to bottom out even on the harshest circuits. The lightweight aluminium swingarm enhances the suspension's character and gives extra comfort and features a link-less design that reduces routine maintenance requirements.
Adjust your YZ65 as you grow
Young riders grow quickly – and therefore the YZ65 has been equipped with an aluminium crown featuring four different handlebar positions – giving a total of 27mm forward/backward options to suit your size and riding style. Like our bigger YZ models, tapered handlebars come as standard, and give an ideal balance of shock-absorbing flex and immense strength.
Total control in your hands
The right body position is vital if you want to maintain full control of your YZ65 and win races, and the seat is designed to enable you to shift your weight forwards and backwards to suit changing conditions. The body panels are also designed to give free movement, allowing you to move easily around the bike for a race-winning ride!
Pure YZ race-bred DNA
Featuring dynamic MXGP-bred styling and YZ-style rims, this is the ultimate entry-level YZ racer – and if you're serious about winning then you need to make sure that you're racing with the YZ65. With its high-tech liquid cooled engine, lightweight chassis and sophisticated suspension systems, this motocross bike has been developed using pure race-bred DNA.
