2024 Yamaha MT-03

2024 Yamaha MT-03

With its sophisticated engine, lightweight handling and naked styling, the Yamaha MT-03 brings the signature MT family design to the small-displacement category. Featuring a radical new look and feel, a best-in-class two-cylinder engine and state-of-the-art suspension for precise handling and outstanding agility, the new MT-03 is the ultimate entry-level ride for anyone looking to join the MT family.

Carrying the same athletic DNA that has made the MT-09 one of the best-selling Yamaha models of all time, the MT-03's aggressive next-generation design conjures the iconic MT look. The mass-forward body design projects a forceful and predatory character, while dual angled position lights offer a menacing look. Factor in the 37 mm upside-down front fork and stylish single LED headlight, and you've got an entry-level machine with the look and feel of Yamaha's larger-capacity MT models.

The MT-03's wide-shouldered fuel tank and bodywork have enabled Yamaha's designers to achieve an optimum riding position that enables riders to experience the highest levels of comfort and control in different situations. The slim centre section allows the rider to mould their body closer to the bike. The low seat height, higher-mounted handlebar and compact frame guarantee a natural and ergonomic riding position that creates a special feeling of rider/machine unity.

At the heart of this next-generation naked sport bike is one of the most sophisticated powerplants in the class, featuring a balanced two-cylinder configuration that delivers a much smoother feeling at lower rpm compared to some single-cylinder models. Its high-tech internals include carburized connecting rods and lightweight, heat-resistant forged pistons with a low reciprocating weight for reduced vibration and enhanced throttle response. The all-aluminum DiASil cylinders offer excellent heat dissipation properties for reduced horsepower losses.
