About the 2015 Yamaha TT-R230

Reliable to the core and loaded with off-road oriented features, the Yamaha TT-R230 is a fun motorcycle that won’t disappoint you in any circumstances.

The bike sports an electric start, 223 cc, air-cooled, SOHC four-stroke engine which is mated on a smooth-shifting, six-speed transmission with a heavy-duty clutch. The engine is combined with a CDI magneto ignition system, YZ-type air filter, and a lightweight exhaust with quiet muffler and USFS-approved spark arrestor.

The motorcycle’s backbone is represented by a steel frame which is paired with a linkage-mounted adjustable rear shock and a 36mm front fork.

The stopping power is handled by front 220mm disc and 130mm rear drum brakes.
