The new two-stroke YPVS engine
With a two-stroke, liquid-cooled engine, the 2020 model now features the Yamaha YPVS technology that prevents the bike from losing power at higher levels of rpm. Moreover, YPVS reduces the need for frequent shifting and enhances drivability.
For enhanced power output and compression ratio, there is a longer rod and a new head that works best for both.
Rider ergonomics
The new taper style, a four-position adjustable handlebar makes it easy for the rider to tune it to the position they feel more comfortable at. With the rear fender, flat fuel tank, side panels, and radiator shrouds, your kids will enjoy the generous freedom of movement.
