2026 Yamaha Lander 250 ADV Debuts with New Atacama Brown Colour
Yamaha has introduced the 2026 Lander 250 ADV in Brazil, bringing a subtle update to its popular off-road-focused adventure motorcycle. The key change for the new model year is the addition of a fresh Atacama Brown colour, while the rest of the package remains largely unchanged.
What’s new in the 2026 Yamaha Lander 250 ADV
The new Atacama Brown shade is a metallic brown finish applied to the raised front fender and fuel tank, giving the Lander 250 a more rugged and earthy appearance. Sporty graphics and lettering in contrasting red, white and orange add visual flair, while most other body panels continue with black and grey finishes.
Existing colour options such as Titanium Grey, Racing Blue and Amazon Green have been carried forward. Beyond the new paint scheme, there are no major updates to the design or hardware. The ADV continues to feature a raised front beak, LED projector headlamp, LED DRLs, sculpted fuel tank, step-up seat and a high-mounted exhaust.
Engine, features and India launch possibility
Power comes from the same 249cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 20.9 hp and 20.59 Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The motorcycle uses a semi-double cradle frame, long-travel suspension, wire-spoke wheels and single-channel ABS, making it well-suited for off-road use. Tech highlights include an LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity, Yamaha’s Y-Connect app support and a 12V charging socket.
The Lander 250 was showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, though an India launch has not been confirmed. If introduced, it could rival models like the Hero Xpulse 210, Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 and Yezdi Adventure.
