RIDE THE REVOLUTION
Open the roads of life with the 2019 NIKEN GT, blending exclusive leaning multi-wheel technology with luxuries for the long haul. |
|
LEANING MULTI-WHEEL TECHNOLOGY
Equipped with innovative Leaning Multi-Wheel technology and dual inverted forks, the NIKEN GT is built to deliver the most amazing corner carving experience together with higher rider confidence in all conditions. With a larger contact patch between the tires and the road surface, the two leaning front wheels give increased levels of front end grip that is particularly noticeable during cornering and braking, and it is this unique and dynamic characteristic of the NIKEN that makes it feel and handle like no other motorcycle.
|
|
BOLD, FUTURISTIC DESIGN
The NIKEN GT's muscular and athletic body design clearly shows that this innovative new three-wheel Yamaha is designed for energetic riding. The twin front wheels form the focal point from which the futuristic cowl and integrated fuel tank flow, giving a unique, mass-forward look that emphasizes NIKEN GT's bold and unique profile.
|
|
TOURING COMFORT
The NIKEN GT utilizes a specially-developed version of Yamaha's popular 847 cc, crossplane-concept, three-cylinder CP3 engine, offering plenty of power and rich torque. Other sport-minded features such as adjustable front and rear suspension and twin, 298 mm front disc brakes are blended on the NIKEN GT with perks like standard side cases, heated grips, a tall windscreen and a touring seat.

-
Yamaha D-Mode (3 modes available)
- Enables the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the engine based on riding preferences or riding conditions
- Standard mode emphasizes very linear throttle and torque feel of the engine
- A mode allows the rider to enjoy even sportier engine performance in the low-to-mid rpms
- B mode softens throttle response for riding situations that require softer power characteristics, such as slippery or wet conditions
- D-mode button is conveniently located on the right handle bar switch gear
-
Traction control system with (2 modes plus off).
- Mode 1 provides mid-level intervention (allows some wheel spin)
- Mode 2 provides maximum intervention (no wheel spin)
- Works in conjunction with the YCC-T system (utilizing same wheel sensors as ABS system)
- System senses when the rear wheel begins to spin and modifies the YCC-T function, ignition timing and fuel injection volume to reduce power and eliminate wheel spin
- Status indicator / warning light in meter assembly
-
Cruise control
- Operates in 4th through 6th gears and between 50 km/h and 160 km/h
-
New electronic control unit (ECU) utilizes a powerful 32-bit processor for fast control of the injection, engine management and ignition processes.
-
Air box features dual resonator chambers and unequal internal intake funnel lengths for all 3 cylinders.
- Benefit is a wide torque curve and exciting intake sound that accentuates the exhaust note
- Viscous paper-type air filter is used
-
Compact 6-speed transmission.
- Gear ratios are optimized to accentuate the torque and throttle response of the engine
-
Compact, slipper(back-limiter) clutch with assist.
- Slipper clutch reduces the negative effects of engine braking on handling and suspension
- Reduces rear wheel hop/ chatter when decelerating for improved riding performance and smoother corner entries
- Assist function reduces clutch lever effort by up to 20%
-
Quick Shift System (QSS)
- Quickshifter allows for smooth, clutchless upshifts
