On the other hand, the MT-09 Y-AMT ABS does not have a clutch lever or shift pedal. Instead, it has an MT mode with a seesaw-type shift lever located on the left handlebar switch box, and an AT mode with automatic gear shifting. This increases the rider’s concentration on riding, providing a riding experience that combines sporty driving with comfort.

Outstanding driving performance

The engines installed in both models adopt the crossplane concept*. It is based on a design philosophy that reduces inertial torque and efficiently extracts the pure combustion torque generated in the combustion chamber. This improves throttle response and realizes riding performance that can be controlled at the rider’s will.

*The crossplane concept is a design concept that minimizes inertial torque and efficiently extracts only the combustion torque generated in the combustion chamber.

The advanced features of the “MT-09 Y-AMT ABS”

The biggest feature of the MT-09 Y-AMT ABS is its innovative gear shifting system. There is no need to operate the clutch, and you can choose between MT mode, which uses a seesaw-type shift lever on the left handlebar, and AT mode, which is fully automatic, depending on the situation.

In “MT mode,” the operation feels the same as a conventional manual shift, but since there is no need to operate the clutch, you can enjoy riding with more concentration. In “AT mode,” the gear changes are automated, greatly improving comfort when riding in urban areas or on long-distance touring.

The new color, “Matte Light Gray,” harmonizes with the advanced nature of this technology, giving it a presence as a next-generation naked bike.

summary

The new “Matte Light Gray” color for the Yamaha MT-09 ABS and MT-09 Y-AMT ABS is not just an addition to the color range, but also suggests a new direction for the MT series. The fusion of sophisticated design and the latest technology conveys a new appeal to sports bikes, and is likely to breathe new life into the naked bike market.
