2010 Yamaha YFZ450X
Y amaha unveils its new ultimate high performance tight trail sport ATV, the YFZ450X. 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.
The most noticeable difference between the 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.
The YFZ450X comes with a newly designed front suspension. The front A-arm is shortened 43.9mm 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. The gravity-cast aluminum rear swing arm is matched to a fully adjustable 46 mm KYB piggyback shock affording the rear wheels 11 inches of travel.
Yamaha has also released a Bill Ballance Edition of the YFZ450X in honor of their multi-time GNCC Champion that's equipped with a gold D.I.D chain, Yamaha Racing Blue frame, silver wheels, quick release body fasteners and graphics, and a GYTR grab bar sporting the champion's #1 plate.
MSRP: $8499 / $8799 (Bill Ballace Edition)
