2023 Yamaha Tricity 125 Scooter – Features and Specs
New EURO-5 Blue Core Engine
The new EURO5-compliant engine, developed and manufactured utilizing Yamaha’s cutting-edge Blue Core technology, drives the new Tricity 125 for 2022 and cuts emissions while retaining incredible efficiency. The new engine in the Tricity 125 now incorporates Yamaha’s Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology, which offers powerful acceleration, lively performance, and less fuel consumption. It has a stronger forged piston, a reworked cylinder head, a more oversized intake valve, and a higher compression ratio.
New Starter Generator Control Unit and Smart Motor Generator system
To ensure more environmentally friendly performance, the new Tricity 125 has a 32-bit Starter Generator Control Unit (SGCU), fully integrating the new engine’s electrical and electronic functions, including fuel delivery, power production, and the Start-and-Stop system. This SGCU also controls the engine’s new Smart Motor Generator system, which combines the previous model’s separate generator and starting motor functions into a single, compact unit.
The new Smart Motor Generator technology enables extremely quiet starts and restarts by directly spinning the crankshaft, eliminating the gear-mesh noise of the prior technique.
Quiet and intelligent new Stop-and-Start system
The quieter and more efficient engine starting technology works with the Tricity 125’s unique Stop-and-Start system to make this accessible commuter scooter less intrusive and more fun to ride in urban traffic.
When the Tricity 125 comes to a complete stop at a stop sign, the engine should be shut off using the Stop-and-Start system. When the throttle is depressed, the car restarts. The SGCU constantly monitors riding conditions to ensure optimal efficiency. It eliminates too many pauses and starts in situations like heavy traffic, where the machine may stop and start every few seconds.
Stable three-wheel layout with twin leaning front wheels
The Tricity 125 is distinguished from other 125cc bikes by its three-wheel design and dual tilting front wheels, which improve stability when turning or going straight. Because of the outstanding levels of grip afforded by its two-front, two-front,two-front, two-front tires and the confident posture of its three-wheel design, the Tricity 125 is an excellent choice for new riders or those transitioning from two to three wheels.
Optimized LMW Ackermann steering layout
The latest Tricity 125’s Yamaha-exclusive LMW Ackermann steering system has been improved for 2022 and has a new arrangement with the lean axle slightly offset from the steering axle. The fundamental linkage design is the same as that used on the famous NIKEN Sport Tourer motorbike and the Tricity 300. With this most recent design, riders may maintain their chosen course since the left and right front wheels will always create a concentric circle, even when leaning severely. This results in a more natural and intuitive experience.
The Tricity 125’s two front wheels and revised front-end linkage design increase feelings of riding confidence, especially on damp or bumpy terrain. This aspect of the Tricity 125’s personality is especially significant for A1 beginners transitioning from a car or other mode of transportation to the Tricity 125. It may need more experience on two wheels.
The redesigned Frame Provides Excellent Riding Comfort and Stability.
The Tricity 125 boasts a revised frame design that includes various upgrades, such as a 60 mm longer wheelbase and updated engine mounts to enhance overall balance and deliver greater comfort and enjoyment when riding.
The 2022 design, although retaining the same fundamental construction as the previous generation, benefits from increased longitudinal and torsional rigidity and an adequately calibrated degree of flex, which improves the scooter’s intuitive handling feel. When paired with the revised LMW Ackermann system’s steering capabilities, the newly built frame the freshly created frame delivers a very comfortable and excellent ride, even over rocky or cobbled terrain.
Uprated Twin Shock Rear Suspension
The twin shock rear suspension system has been enhanced to complement the new frame design for a premium ride with excellent shock absorption capabilities. To improve rider and passenger comfort, the entire length of the rear shocks has been increased to give 90 mm of smooth and progressive suspension movement. Increases in spring rate and damping strength also result in consistent rear suspension performance, particularly when going over poor urban streets with a passenger.
Optimised Unified Brake System (UBS)
When the rear brake is engaged, the Tricity 125’s Unified Brake System (UBS) automatically delivers braking force to both front and rear wheels, allowing for safe and controlled stopping. The front and back brake force distribution on the 2022 Tricity 125 has been modified to ensure consistent and smooth stopping power.
New LCD instruments with Smartphone Connectivity
Riders of the Tricity 125 may stay connected while out and about by downloading Yamaha’s free MyRide app and syncing it with the scooter by providing its VIN. Once linked, the rider may stay in touch by utilizing the new LCD instruments to display real-time notifications for incoming calls, social media, emails, and text messages from their smartphone.
Owners of Tricity 125 automobiles may use the MyRide App to view different statistics, such as fuel use. Riders may also connect with other MyRiders to explore photographs, compare itineraries, and discover new places. They may also compare riding data with other Yamaha MyRide users to share their riding experiences and export trip details.
The design of the larger Tricity 300 served as the foundation for creating the new connected instruments, which incorporate smartphone notifications and a range of easily legible machine-running data. The new design emphasizes the Tricity range’s standard technologies while improving this exceptional commuter’s premium appearance and feel.
Smart Key Operation
The Tricity 125 may be operated without a key for increased convenience when the rider carries the Smart Key in their pocket, wallet, or handbag. When the machine identifies the Smart Key, the rider may activate and deactivate the power, start the engine, unlock the handlebar lock, and open the seat. It’s a modest but helpful feature that makes the journey more enjoyable.
Larger footboard area/improved passenger footrests/broader headlight beam
The Tricity 125 prioritizes the comfort of both riders and passengers. The 2022 model features a wider footboard area and more space up front, letting the rider choose the most comfortable riding position.
Another enhancement is the adoption of freshly designed passenger footrests that are easier to unfurl from their folded-in position. The headlight reflector has also been upgraded to provide further nighttime lighting by broadly spreading light on low and high beams.
Detailed styling improvements and new colors
With its sporty and contemporary style that underlines its modern, light, and elegant nature, the Tricity 125 is one of the most unusual models in the 125cc scooter market. Minor changes to the bodywork surrounding the footboard region and primary ignition switch and the introduction of a newly designed rear mudguard have been made to complement the various technical changes to the new chassis. The Tricity 125’s side profile conveys to potential customers the scooter’s simplicity of use and universal accessibility while also improving the machine’s sensation of performance and front-end stability.
The Tricity 125 will also be available in two more colors: Sand Grey and Petrol Blue. Both versions will also be available in Matt Grey.
