Cypress, CA (9/8/2010)
- Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., today announced
the new YFZ450X – the ultimate high performance
tight trail sport ATV. Designed with the same
power-packed engine, performance and technology
of the YFZ450R, the new YFZ450X is designed
to navigate tight trails with a 46-inch width,
optimized suspension and other features specific
to tight trail riding and racing.
Anyone familiar with ATV racing knows the
YFZ’s winning heritage. As the first
race-ready 450-class ATV, the original YFZ
quickly became a favorite of racers and fans
at tracks across the country. The YFZ450R,
released last fall, became the best new all
around high performance sport ATV with a motocross
track-width that excelled in many situations,
from tracks to trails to sand dunes. Now the
YFZ450X is the latest evolution of Yamaha
racing technology optimized for tight trail
riding like GNCC racing and wooded environments.
The most noticeable difference between the Yamaha
YFZ450R and all-new YFZ450X is the overall size.
It makes sense that a machine built to dominate
tight trails would look to save some space as
it carves through narrow courses.
The width of the YFZ450X is 46.1 inches --
optimized for woods riding and the same width
as the original YFZ450. This is accomplished
through a new front end design and a 50 mm
shorter rear axle. Accompanying those updates
is a change in steering geometry specific
to woods riding translating into less fatigue
for the rider.

YFZ450X - Trail / Woods Optimized
Suspension
|
The YFZ450X comes with a newly designed front
suspension. The front A-arm is shortened 43.9
mm to 395.2 mm -- optimal dimensions for tight
courses and the new suspension while still ensuring
a full range of motion. The front KYB shocks
are now 426 mm long versus the 462 mm length
of the YFZ450R. The easy to adjust damping goes
unchanged. As a full package, the new suspension
settings, A-arm design and trail track width
allow the YFZ450X to soak up bumps while also
allowing the rider great handling through tight,
technical terrain.
