Enduro<br />

Where?<br />

We’re at the Yamaha Off-Road Experience in Powys, Wales.<br />

Home ground for the blue team, but when it comes to mud, roots,<br />

ruts and rocks there’s never a home advantage.<br />

Who?<br />

The test team are: Jon Bentman, long standing test rider and<br />

features writer for <strong>RUST</strong>, he’s been testing enduro bikes non-stop<br />

since 2003; Dylan Jones, ahh yes a Yamaha man, but we all<br />

know the Jones boys can’t lie, even if it hurts, ‘DJ’ is a former<br />

championship level racer and ISDE gold medalist; Iain McGee is<br />

a proper trail rider, a road rider turned dirt bunny and fan of twostrokes<br />

who rides an old but nicely-kept 250EXC.<br />

Why?<br />

Because the new Yamaha is the most dynamic new enduro model<br />

to come to the market in years and we need to know if it changes<br />

everything. Or not...<br />

IT’S LIKE, ‘BAM! In your face, dude’. Proper<br />

punch in the nose delivery… that’s how the<br />

new Yamaha WR250F hits you. A little ‘twofiddy’<br />

four-stroke shouldn’t make your eyes<br />

water like that. But this is 2015, the world is<br />

changing. Heck, some people are driving<br />

mid-range cars with nothing more than a<br />

900cc three-cylinder engine under the<br />

bonnet; across the board - cars, bikes,<br />

trucks, outboards - there’s a new age of<br />

engine-tech going on - smaller, more powerful<br />

and much more efficient - and this new<br />

WR is very much part of that ethos. So as it<br />

goes, yes the WR is proving that a 250F<br />

enduro really can have mind-warping,<br />

hair-stripping performance. Which is great<br />

news. Unless you’re KTM that is.
