A Gateway to Real Adventure

The 2026 Yamaha WR125R is designed to help new and young riders experience the thrill of adventure riding for the first time. It’s not just a commuter — it’s your passport to explore winding backroads, gravel paths, and mountain trails.

Compact and easy to handle, the WR125R shares its DNA with Yamaha’s world-famous Ténéré 700, giving you genuine dual-sport performance in a smaller, more accessible package. Whether you’re riding through city traffic or heading for the hills, this bike offers the freedom to go anywhere.

Key Highlights

  • Genuine dual-sport capability — built for both city streets and dirt trails

  • 125cc liquid-cooled engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA)

  • Smart multi-function LCD display with smartphone connectivity

  • 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels for off-road control

  • Front disc brake with ABS for confidence on every ride

  • Excellent fuel efficiency (40 km/L) and up to 320 km range

  • Agile semi-double cradle frame and KYB suspension

  • Durable Dunlop D605 tyres for all-terrain performance

  • Low-maintenance design — easy to service after trail rides

Power Meets Precision

The heart of the WR125R 2026 is a 125cc liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-valve engine featuring Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology. This system automatically adjusts valve timing to optimize performance at all rev ranges — giving you smooth torque at low speeds and powerful acceleration at high rpm.

Delivering 14.5 PS at 10,000 rpm and 11.3 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, the WR125R feels lively and responsive, whether you’re tackling traffic or a tough trail climb. It also meets the latest EU5+ emissions standards, ensuring clean performance without compromise.

Built for Adventure

A durable semi-double cradle frame gives the WR125R a solid, balanced feel on any terrain. The 41 mm KYB front fork with 215 mm travel and Monocross rear suspension (187 mm travel) soak up bumps with ease, while the long-travel suspension offers comfort and stability at higher speeds.

Braking is equally impressive — a 267 mm front disc with ABS and a 220 mm rear disc deliver smooth, predictable stopping power both on and off the road.

Two motorcyclists ride off-road on dirt trails, with mountains in the background and tall grass lining the path. The lead rider is on a blue motorcycle, while the second rider is on a black motorcycle, both with helmets and protective gear. Dust is kicked up behind them as they navigate the terrain.

Comfort, Control, and Confidence

Riders will love the flat seat and wide footpegs, which allow effortless body movement and balance across terrains. The upright riding position provides excellent visibility, while the slim body design makes it easy to handle in tight spaces.

Combined with its light 138 kg wet weight, the WR125R offers outstanding agility for trail or traffic.

Smart Tech for Modern Riders

The LCD digital instrument panel keeps you informed with essential data like fuel level, gear position, and trip distance. Using Yamaha’s MyRide app, you can connect your smartphone to display notifications for calls, messages, and battery level — keeping you connected while you explore off the grid.

Go Further, Ride Longer

Fuel efficiency is a key strength of the WR125R. With an average consumption of 2.3 L/100 km (40 km/L) and an 8.1-litre tank, you can cover up to 320 km on a single fill. That means fewer fuel stops and more freedom to chase the horizon.

A Modern Classic with True Off-Road Soul

The Yamaha WR125R 2026 blends modern styling with Yamaha’s rich off-road heritage. The sharp front fairing with LED headlight and position light gives it a rugged, adventure-ready look, while durable components and low-maintenance engineering ensure lasting reliability.

Whether you’re a first-time rider or an experienced motorcyclist looking for a lightweight companion, the WR125R is ready to take you further.

Yamaha WR125R 2026 — Rule the Trails

Adventure doesn’t have to be complicated. With its combination of power, versatility, and efficiency, the 2026 WR125R proves that freedom begins with a single ride. From city streets to mountain trails, it’s the dual-sport bike that does it all — built to go anywhere your curiosity leads.
