NEW GEAR • Hot products for when you’re on or off the bike

BEAST MODE YAMAHA’S YZ250F GETS A MAJOR OVERHAUL FOR 2027 • Yamaha’s gone all in on the 2027 YZ250F, skipping the graphics update and minor tweaks in favour of a completely redesigned engine, new hydraulic clutch, reworked chassis, updated suspension and a lighter rear brake. We headed out to QMP for the Australian media launch to see what it actually feels like once you’re on track.

BIG-BORE, BIG FUN • Beta’s RR 480 Race has all the torque and power you’d expect from a big-bore four-stroke, but it’s the way it delivers that power that really surprised us. It’s smooth, tractable and seriously easy to ride. So what makes this 480 such a good thing? Read on!

THE GOLDEN GIRL • She’s drawing bigger autograph lines than the factory men, dominating a rivalry the whole sport is talking about, and she’s only 19. Lala Turner opens up on the injuries, the family sacrifice and the rise that got her here.

It hides under the timber canopy, in the slick clay trenches and the granite scars that cut through the hills like open wounds. It waits for riders — quietly, patiently — until the moment they drop into first gear and commit. Then it shows its teeth.

RIDE OF A LIFETIME • We got the chance to ride Jed Beaton’s championship-winning CDR Yamaha and take a closer look at the machine that carried him to the 2026 MX1 title.

DANGERS IN THE DUST • We sent Max Sullivan to the outback to take in the action at the 2026 Yellow Mountain Cross Country. From dusty conditions and high-speed racing to kangaroos, wild pigs and plenty of challenges along the way, Max got an insight into what makes this 440km point-to-point race such a unique event.

BATTLE IN THE BUSH 2026 • DA's Joey Sheppard swapped his DT175 for a camera to take in the first two rounds of MXstore's Battle in the Bush. Some say it was a safer move, but we reckon being in the firing line trackside is more dangerous than riding. Luckily, he survived to bring us this story.
