The Yamaha XT225 is the product of decades of dual-sport engineering refinement. This bike is designed to be accessible to a wide range of riders without sacrificing capability, with a six-speed gearbox, front disc brake, rear drum brake, and an Enduro style halogen headlight.
8.9 inches of front suspension travel, 7.5 inches in the rear, aggressive knob dual-sport tires, and a heavy-duty aluminum skid plate give it the confidence to tackle rocky trails, steep climbs, and tight switchbacks that would stop larger bikes in their tracks. A super low first gear even allows for slow speed technical riding.
The XT225 has earned a loyal following because it does almost everything well and Yamaha built this machine to last, with rubber mounted components, fold-up footpegs, and flex-mounted turn indicators that speak to its durability under real world riding conditions.
