Limited-edition Yamaha enduro bikes unveiled

In August 2017 Yamaha will introduce two limited edition enduro models to complement the company’s current off road competition line up. These specially developed enduro race bikes are inspired by the Outsiders Yamaha Official Enduro Team factory machine that took Loïc Larrieu to 3rd overall in the 2016 E2 World Enduro Championship, and secured an EnduroGP class victory at the 2017 EnduroGP of Italy.

Based on Yamaha’s WRF production bikes, the new WR450F EnduroGP & WR250F EnduroGP come with a range of exclusive features as standard, and are aimed at closed circuit enduro riders who are looking for added performance, style and exclusivity.

Manufactured from lightweight titanium alloy, the Akrapovič slip-on muffler enhances the engine character and gives both of these new EnduroGP models a deep and gutsy exhaust sound.

The ECU mapping has also been modified to optimize the engine performance with the Akrapovič fitted – and Yamaha also offer the optional Power Tuner that enables riders to fine-tune their WR450F EnduroGP & WR250F EnduroGP at the trackside. This easy to use plug-in device enables riders to adjust ignition and fuelling mapping to suit different track and weather conditions.

The WR450F & WR250F EnduroGP models are also fitted with Outsiders Yamaha Official Enduro Team inspired factory graphics on the shrouds, fenders, sidepanels, front plate, swingarm and forks. These high quality graphics give added scratch protection, and the iconic blue/black/white design underlines the exclusive factory bike look of these special edition enduro models.

For added protection from flying debris kicked up by other bikes, these EnduroGP bikes benefit from Acerbis Tri-fit handguards whose multi-function design means that they can be used in open or closed ‘wraparound’ positions.

These exclusive features build on the race-proven strengths of the standard models, and give every rider the opportunity to own and race an exclusive factory-style enduro bike that is ready to power into the victory zone!
