2027 Yamaha WR450F Team Yamaha Blue- VA000323-1

2027 Yamaha WR450F Team Yamaha Blue

THE ULTIMATE ENDURO MACHINE

Designed to tackle the trail and top the podium, the WR450F is a light, slim, sharp and powerful off-road package for fun rides and fast races.

Features May Include:

Powerful 450cc Four-Stroke Engine

• A new light, compact and high revving 450cc engine delivers power across the entire rev range. ECU settings are tailored to suit the specific needs of trail riding and enduro competition.

Class-Leading Suspension

• The industry-leading, fully adjustable KYB® coil spring-type fork with speed-sensitive damping provides exceptional balance between handling and bump absorption. The linkage-type rear suspension uses a KYB® shock with specially-tuned damping characteristics to match the WR450F chassis. The suspension contributes to a low center of gravity for excellent cornering performance and rider comfort in technical sections.

High Performance Braking System

• Compact front and rear brake calipers work with aggressive pad compounds and lightweight discs to provide exceptional braking power and control, efficiently dissipate heat and reduce unsprung weight.

Designed for Enduro

• The WR450F features enduro-developed components including 2.0 gallon fuel capacity, multi-function meter with fuel and engine warning lights, 18-inch rear wheel, head and tail light, radiator fan, skid plate, sealed O-ring chain, folding aluminum kickstand and an EPA-approved spark arrestor muffler.

Aluminum Bilateral Beam Frame

• A aluminum bilateral beam frame with WR450F-specific engine mounts provides the right combination of strength and flex for the perfect balance of straight-line stability and cornering performance. The result is a superb-handling machine with light feel, high agility and plenty of traction, allowing the rider to tackle tight, technical courses with supreme confidence.

NEW FOR 2027

Dunlop® Geomax AT82 Tires

• New Dunlop® Geomax AT82 tires for a wide variety terrain for cross-country and enduro rides in wooded trails to wide-open deserts.

Enduro-Optimized Chassis Refinements

Enduro-Revised Four-Stroke Engine

• The WR450F adopts the same high-performance engine from the YZ450F, revised for the varying speed and terrain of enduro riding.

Higher-Inertia AC Magneto Rotor

• A revised AC magneto rotor increases inertial mass, reducing torque fluctuations for more low-end grunt and easier-to-use character.

Lightweight Lithium-Ion Battery

• A high-capacity, lightweight four-cell lithium-ion battery provides consistent performance and minimal weight.

Low-Fatigue Throttle Control

• Throttle control has been revised to require less effort, reducing fatigue over longer, more demanding enduro rides.

Noise-Reducing Air Filter Assembly

• A new air filter assembly, with the same outer resonator as the YZ450F, reduces overall noise for more comfortable riding.

Reduced-Load Clutch Springs

• Modifications to the clutch springs have reduced lever load for flatter characteristics, improving engine control at lower speeds.

Smooth-operating Hydraulic Clutch

• The 2027 WR450F adopts the YZ450F's hydraulic clutch, with a 15% reduced lever pull for reduced fatigue over longer rides.

Smooth-Power Cam Timing

• Revised intake and exhaust cam timing angles deliver smoother power for enduro riding and reduces engine stalls at lower rpms.

Three-Level Traction Control

• A three-level Traction Control System selectable within the Yamaha Power Tuner App maintains ideal rear wheel traction.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

Dunlop® Geomax AT82 Tires

• New Dunlop® Geomax AT82 tires are designed specifically for enduro traction with a bi-directional tread pattern for varying terrain.

Improved Rear Brake Pedal

• A new rear brake pedal uses a revised lever ratio, while the pedal tip itself can now be replaced for easier maintenance.

Lightweight Durable Wheels

• Strong, lightweight wheels reduce unsprung weight without sacrificing durability.

Precision Aluminum Beam Frame

• An advanced aluminum bilateral beam frame, strikes the perfect balance of precise cornering performance and handling stability.

Revised Enduro Engine Brackets

• New engine brackets with a revised shape and thickness provide optimal chassis rigidity at low-to-midrange speeds of enduro riding.

Revised Lightweight Rear Brake

• A new rear brake with a revised caliper, piston, brake disc and brake hose results in lighter overall weight and improved control.

Slim, Rider-Friendly Bodywork

• The WR450F's slim, flat, compact body provides easy to control rider movement.

Speed Sensitive KYB® Fork

• Fully adjustable Speed Sensitive KYB® fork delivers exceptional balance between handling and bump absorption.

Stroke-Optimized Suspension Tuning

• Both front and rear suspension have been specifically tuned to enhance responsiveness from initial damping to the mid-stroke.

T51 Rear Sprocket for Control

• A new rear-wheel sprocket has been changed from T50 to T51, improving low-speed control with reduced likelihood of stalls.

Three-Cross-Spoke 18-Inch Rear Wheel

• The WR450F's 18-inch rear wheel comes laced with a three-cross-spoke pattern to optimize impact absorption and rider feel.

YZ450F-Spec Suspension Tuning

• The WR450F adopts the same components from the YZ450F's class-leading suspension, optimized for comfort at low-to-midrange speeds.
