The Yamaha Lander 250 Connected 2025 Arrives with a Completely New Look, More Technology and the Same Robustness, but the Loss of the Flex Engine and the Absence of a Sixth Gear Generate Debate Among Fans of the Model.
The Yamaha Lander 250 Connected 2025 is the latest chapter in the history of one of Brazil’s most beloved and successful trail bikes. Launched with a completely new design, the third generation of the Lander comes with the promise of more technology and a look inspired by its larger sisters, while maintaining the reliability that made it famous.
However, the new generation also brought controversial changes, such as the end of the flex engine. According to a report released by Canal do Vandão on YouTube, which conducted a thorough test with the model, the motorcycle has evolved in style and technology, but kept some aspects that could have been improved.
The Three Generations of the Lander Since 2006
The history of the Yamaha Lander began in 2006, when it was launched to replace the old XT 225. The first generation of the model was marketed until 2018.

In 2019, the second generation arrived, bringing a completely new and more modern look, consolidating the Lander as Yamaha’s best-selling bike. Now, for the 2025 model, the brand presents the third generation, which represents a new facelift and a leap in embedded technology.
The New Design of the Yamaha Lander 250 Connected 2025: The Inspiration from the Ténéré and Aesthetic Changes
The main change to the Yamaha Lander 250 Connected 2025 is its appearance. The motorcycle received a totally new front end, with a LED projector headlight and a position light (DRL) also in LED, located on the new and more modern high fender.
The model also features a small windscreen, a new tank with more robust side panels, and a new exhaust. For 2025, the Lander is available in four colors: metallic blue (Racing Blue), matte green (Amazon Green), solid red (Solar Red), and matte gray (Titanium Grey).
The 249cc Engine and the End of the Flex System
The engine of the Yamaha Lander 250 Connected 2025 remains the reliable 249cc single-cylinder, with SOHC valve timing and air cooling with an oil radiator. It delivers 20.9 horsepower and 2.1 kgf.m of torque, paired with a five-speed gearbox.
The most significant and controversial change, however, was the removal of the Blue Flex system. The new Lander is now powered only by gasoline. According to the test, Yamaha justified the change based on studies that showed most owners did not use ethanol.
Technology and Connectivity: The New Dashboard and What Comes Standard
The major technological novelty of the Yamaha Lander 250 Connected 2025 is its new dashboard. Fully digital and blackout type, it now features cell phone connectivity via Bluetooth through the Y-Connect app. With it, the rider can see call and message notifications on the dashboard, as well as track routes and fuel consumption on the phone.
The motorcycle also gained a high beam flasher and a 12V socket for charging devices, items that were requested by owners of the previous model.
Performance and Fuel Consumption in Practice: What Did the Test Reveal?
The Lander 2025 maintained its well-known performance. The top speed, according to the test, is electronically limited to 145 km/h.
Fuel consumption continues to be a strong point, even without the flex system.
- Aggressive Riding: Fuel consumption ranges between 23 and 25 km/l.
- Normal Riding: At a more relaxed pace, the bike can achieve between 33 and 35 km/l.
The Price of the New Yamaha Lander 250 Connected 2025 and the Points That Still Need Attention
The suggested retail price of the Yamaha Lander 250 Connected 2025 is R$ 27,490 (excluding shipping). However, according to the test, the actual price at dealers can vary from R$ 29,000 to R$ 33,000.
Despite the improvements, the evaluation pointed out that some negative aspects of the previous generation remained. The bike still lacks ABS on the rear wheel, continues with a five-speed gearbox (a sixth gear would be welcome for travel), and the new dashboard, although modern, still does not have a gear indicator.
Não entendo a necessidade de um indicador de marcha.
Tenho uma 2024 mas quando for comprar outra não será mas Yamaha. Gosto muito da marca mais essa nova Lander já más teria uma voltarei pra XRE não queria mas dona Yamaha essa Lander não dá
A dona Yamaha chega ser uma comédia coloca tanta coisas no painel como mensagens do celular eo indicador de marcha que é muito mais simples não coloca só vai cada vez mais perdendo espaço prá Honda
