The revolutionary new YZ450F: So forward thinking everything else seems backwards.
Yamaha has "spun" the MX world 180 degrees with the introduction of the new and innovative 2010 Yamaha YZ450F. Our engineers stepped out side of the box and the result is a stunning new machine which showcases Yamaha's latest MX technologies. Mass centralization combines with excellent "Rideability" to provide riders with a machine that exceeds expectations.
New bikes amke some people stare. The revolutionary new 2010 YZ450F will have many gazing far into the future.
But slanting the cylinder rearward and reversing the intake and ports, the 2010 Yamaha YZ450F's mass is more centralized for amazing balance, unprecedented handling and cornering. The all-new Bilateral Beam frame and suspension offer fantastic feedback to the rider. Add fuel injection to the mix of of these new innovations and you'll agree: backward is the right way forward.
Fuel injection, "reversed" rearward slanted , Tornado exhaust, "Bilateral Beam" frame, new swingarm, longer suspension travel the list of improvements goes on.
The new YZ450F features engine and chassis designs that separate Yamaha from the competition. The YZ450F is a "no compromise" machine designed to win with styling highlights that will turn heads at the same time.
Highlights:
New rearward slanting "reversed" engine
New Bilateral Beam frame
All New for 2010
" YZ450F's new rearward-slanted cylinder is a revolutionary advancement that achieves unmatched mass centralization, concentrating inertial mass toward the center of the machine. This bold new design also swaps traditional intake and exhaust positions, putting the lightweight airbox and throttle body out front. This contributes to mass centralization for nimble handling while also achieving a straight intake tract for superb combustion efficiency that delivers more power.
" The cylinder is offset so the connecting rod is vertical at the moment of greatest combustion force, minimizing piston friction against the cylinder wall that could rob power. That means quicker response.
" The new 4-titanium valve cylinder head is matched to a fuel injection system developed specifically for the YZ450F. Instantly adapts to changing air/fuel mixtures depending on altitude and temperature, for an engine that delivers no matter what conditions.
" The all-new aluminum Bilateral Beam frame provides a superb rigidity balance that complements the engine for unmatched lightweight handling and cornering. The result? The best cornering, most nimble 450F for all track conditions.
" Revamped looks deliver new-generation styling, including front and rear fenders, intake cover, front fork protector, and number plate, along with the fuel tank and seat.
" Accessory GYTR® Power Tuner lets bike tuners adjust air/fuel mixture and ignition timing maps to match engine performance characteristics to the rider and track conditions.
