2020 Yamaha Tricity 300 - New Model Overview

Описание: Yamaha have announced a Tricity 300 for 2020, offering a new three-wheeled offering in the Tricity 155 and Niken family, but this time aimed at the more performance orientated scooter segment, with a 300cc powerplant making for a better two-up machine and all-round performer.

When I tested the Tricity 155 one of my thoughts was actually that it would be great to see a 300cc version, using the Blue Core XMAX powerplant, because particularly here in Australia with bigger distances and higher speeds to cover it makes sense to move up to that next level of performance if you need more than just a city run-around.

We haven't got the full specifications yet, but the 2020 Yamaha Tricity 300 offers the LMW Ackerman suspension and front setup, allowing for impressive lean angles with a dual-fork each side setup.

I'm guessing power will be about 35 horsepower, so similar to the 2019 XMax, and Yamaha have stated it'll be tuned to suit the Tricity 300, which is likely to be heavier due to the technology involved with the three-wheeled setup.

Full disc brakes on 14 inch wheels retain an all-round ability, with traction control and premium scooter features ensuring the Tricity 300 should be popular. There's even room for two full face helmets under the seat, and a remote fob for turning the bike on and accessing the various features, like fuel and under seat storage.

Overall a cool addition to the line-up and while we can't ride these on a car licence as they can in some parts of the world, a great entry point for some potential riders to get started on, and no doubt a great commuter option as well.
