The 2026 Yamaha WR125R marks the exciting return of the venerable dual-sport to the brand's lineup, aiming to be a supremely accessible entry point for new riders. At the heart of this "do-it-all" machine is a new 125cc liquid-cooled, SOHC, four-valve single-cylinder engine featuring Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology, which is designed to deliver a broad powerband with ample torque at low-to-mid-range RPMs and strong high-end power—a significant upgrade for its class. True to its dual-sport nature, it's built on a semi-double cradle frame with long-travel KYB suspension and dirt-ready 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels. Beyond its off-road capability, the WR125R includes modern features like a multi-function LCD dash with smartphone connectivity via the Y-Connect app, LED lighting, and front-wheel single-channel ABS.
