Yamaha takes their starter motorcycles just as seriously as their entry-level musical instruments, which is to say you can usually expect a lot of bang for your buck. That’s certainly the case with the XT250—a fantastically-versatile enduro bike that’s as capable of taking you to work in city traffic as it is bombing through the backcountry.

This bike has been around for ages, and there have been almost no major changes made during its lifetime—the last significant upgrades came all the way back in 2008. This year’s edition still has the 249cc air-cooled, fuel-injected SOHC, 2-valve, 4-stroke engine from the previous update, putting out 19 HP and 14 lb-ft of torque. It might not sound like much on paper, but it’s enough to get a bike under 300 lbs up to some pretty decent speeds—and it’s one of the most unbreakable engines you’ll find anywhere.

This thing’s also built to handle some pretty heavy use, if the flex-mounted turn signals are any indication, so don’t be afraid to take it for a romp through tougher territory. Most of the Japanese motorcycle brands build pretty resilient bikes, but Yamaha’s going above and beyond with these little details.

For 2022, the XT250 comes in a fitting Radical Grey color scheme—yes, they’re really daring you to go hog wild with it. It might be one of the smallest bikes in Yamaha’s 2022 motorcycle lineup, but it certainly punches above its weight.

The 2022 Yamaha XT250 starts at $5,199 USD/$5,699 CAD.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

  The front fork has 8.9 inches of travel to soak up the rough stuff, both on- and off-road while an aluminum lower triple clamp keeps the weight down.

• Linkage-Style Shock
  A rear shock provides 7.1 inches of wheel travel through a progressive Monocross® linkage system for a smooth ride.
• Dirt-Ready Wheels
  21-inch front and 18-inch rear aluminum wheels are extremely durable and reduce unsprung weight for enhanced suspension performance and handling.

  11.2 inches of ground clearance means you’ve got serious off-road capability.
