2027 Yamaha YFZ50

The First Step Toward Off-Road Adventure

The 2027 Yamaha YFZ50 is a youth sport ATV designed to introduce young riders to the excitement of off-road riding in a manageable, rider-friendly package. With its 49cc four-stroke engine, automatic transmission, electric start, and parent-focused safety features, the YFZ50 makes learning to ride approachable and fun.

49cc Four-Stroke Engine

The YFZ50 is powered by a 49cc air-cooled SOHC four-stroke engine designed to provide smooth, predictable power for young riders.

A 20mm Mikuni® carburetor provides reliable fuel delivery, while the automatic transmission eliminates the need for manual shifting and clutch operation. This allows young riders to concentrate on throttle control, steering, and developing fundamental riding skills.

Automatic Transmission

The fully automatic CVT transmission makes the YFZ50 simple to operate. Riders can select forward, neutral, or reverse, while the centrifugal clutch automatically manages power delivery.

The electric starter makes starting convenient, and a backup kickstarter provides an additional starting option.

Parent-Focused Safety Features

Yamaha designed the YFZ50 with features intended to help parents manage a young rider's introduction to ATV riding.

An adjustable throttle limiter allows parents to restrict maximum engine speed as the rider develops confidence and experience. A handlebar-mounted engine stop switch provides an easy way to shut down the engine.

The YFZ50 also includes a tether-style safety switch that can help stop the engine if the rider separates from the ATV.

Youth-Friendly Chassis

The YFZ50 features a compact chassis designed specifically for young riders. With a 25.0-inch seat height, 5.3 inches of ground clearance, and a 218-pound wet weight, the YFZ50 provides a stable platform for developing riders.

Dual A-arm front suspension and a swingarm-mounted rear suspension help absorb bumps while maintaining predictable handling.

Easy, Confident Braking

Dual mechanical drum front brakes and a sealed mechanical drum rear brake provide straightforward stopping performance. The enclosed braking system is designed for durability and easy operation.
