Here it is, the new YZ lineup. For those of us covered in dirt and mud running club races every weekend, YZ's annual mass update is something to look forward to every year. Having all 7 models come at once is fantastic. Launch in September, and I'm already thinking about next season.

Curious how many variants the YZ series actually has across different displacements — would like it laid out clearly.

Yamaha updating the YZ around the same time as Honda's CRF450 refresh — the motocross development race keeps going strong.

Race models usually get only minor tweaks each year, so curious how significant an overhaul this actually is.

Since the CRF450 just had its first full redesign in a decade, there's a real chance the YZ side pushes back with a big update too.

Launching in stages from September 25 — maybe the release timing will vary by displacement?

Making an all-at-once announcement around this time every year feels like it's become a Yamaha tradition.

Updating all seven YZ models at once — reliable that they keep a steady supply of this core racing lineup year after year.
