2025 Yamaha TT-R230

The TT-R230 is the largest of Yamaha’s line of TT-R trail bikes, and stands nearly shoulder to shoulder with its YZ big brothers but retains slightly compact dimensions. Designed for youth and beginner-to-novice-level riders, the TT-R family of dirt bikes are characterized by their docile and easy-to-ride nature, comfortable ergonomics that accommodate a wide range of riders, and low-maintenance durability. True to form, the TT-R230 offers all this in the largest and most powerful platform in the trail bike group.

It may be tailored for beginner riders, but the TT-R230 has the size and the muscle to be a potent trail bike for intermediate riders as well. With a torquey 223cc four-stroke engine, six-speed gearbox, long-travel suspension, and full-size wheels, the TT-R230 can keep up with the pack on challenging off-road terrain. But when it comes to slowing the pace, it is docile, stable, and comfortable, an ideal bike for riders who are building skills quickly and want a high ceiling.

The air-cooled carbureted engine isn’t the most technically advanced, but it helps keep the price tag light. Yamaha was good enough to provide the convenience of an electric start and features like a hydraulic front disc brake, and link-mounted rear suspension to sweeten the riding experience. For those yearning to get out on the trails, but not quite at the level of a full-size dirt bike, the TT-R230 is something to consider.

The 2025 Yamaha TT-R230 is available in Yamaha blue for $4699.
