Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, is proud to announce an extensive update to its industry-leading flagship Motocross model, the new 2026 YZ450F. Faced with the complex challenge of improving on a bike already widely considered the benchmark of the ultra-competitive 450cc four-stroke class, Yamaha engineers put significant focus into refining power delivery and handling performance to achieve a level of precision, control and tuneability that sets a new class standard: the easiest bike to ride fast.

The fourth round of the 2026 SMX Next – Supercross Championship will take place this Saturday in conjunction with round 10 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship in Birmingham.
The AMA National Championship will consist of four invitational qualifying rounds featuring the best A and B riders in the country and culminating in the SMX Next Championship in Philadelphia, PA on April 25.
Much like the 250SX East and West Divisions, the opening two rounds belonged to Monster Energy/Yamaha Star Racing. Kayden Minear took the opening round at Anaheim 2, with his Star teammate Caden Dudney capturing round 2 in Houston. Triumph’s Deacon Denno ended the Yamaha Star Racing run as he grabbed the win at round 3 in Daytona.
Denno returns for Birmingham to lead a very stacked field that includes Landen Gordon, Landon Gibson, Vincent Wey, Kade Johnson, Minear and more.
