2022 Yamaha YZ85LW | First Impression

Share

 
What does LW mean? When it comes to the 2022 Yamaha YZ85LW, it means “large wheel.” And what does that mean? The YZ85LW comes with larger wheels, a longer swingarm, and revised suspension settings, making it eligible and competitive for the SuperMini class! Though the rest of the bike remains unchanged from the standard YZ85 (no larger displacement), the bike is still a great platform that is competitive as is, of an excellent starting point to build a 112cc powerplant for competition at the highest levels. To help us put the new YZ86LW through its paces at the Glen Helen press launch yesterday, we hand-picked Riley Drickerson straight out of the AMSOIL/Dirt Bike Kidz Swapmoto Race Series.
