Every advancement in our technology aims to enhance your riding experience, making it more immersive, addictive, and satisfying. The new Yamaha Automated Manual Transmission (Y-AMT) elevates this experience even further. With its cutting-edge gear-shifting technology, Y-AMT heralds a new era in sports riding, adding an exciting new dimension.
Y-AMT allows you to fully focus on enjoying the sports performance offered by your motorcycle, by delivering consistently linear shifts to create the most engaging iding experience with the choice of a slick, finger operated manual shift (MT) or a two-mode fully automatic transmission (AT).
The MT system allows for fast and precise gear shifts without the need to manually operate a clutch lever. Shifting is controlled by your index finger and thumb using two see-saw levers: a plus lever for upshifts and a minus lever for downshifts. For sportier riding, the plus lever can also be pulled to shift up and pushed to shift down using just the index finger, giving you greater freedom and control without having to remove your thumb from the handlebars.
The hands, with their closer and more refined connection to the brain compared to the feet, are one of the most tactile and powerful tools of the human body. Shifting gears by hand alone, rather than using a foot-and-hand combination, is not only quicker but also requires less cognitive effort. This allows you to hyper-focus on throttle and brake application, lean angle, body position, and tire grip levels, intensifying the ride. With Y-AMT, you can keep your left foot on the footpeg, letting you concentrate on body position and weight distribution to enhance motorcycle control, especially during cornering.
MT has been designed to amplify the fun of sports riding, maximizing the power characteristics of our crossplane-concept engine designs and sportiest ride modes. The speed and precision of each shift are more consistent than even the latest quickshifter, elevating the excitement and adrenaline of fast gear changes in the sportiest riding conditions. In all modes, Y-AMT delivers a high level of refinement that enhances the overall experience, allowing you to focus more on the ride and less on the mechanics, fully immersing yourself in the enjoyment and precision of the journey.
Like all our technological advancements, Y-AMT was born from Jin-Ki Kanno, our goal of providing the seductive exhilaration of becoming one with the machine. Y-AMT makes each ride more fun and engaging, immersing you in a flow state where every movement feels natural and precise. Fostering a true symbiosis with the bike, Y-AMT allows you to focus on throttle, braking, and cornering. The result is an adrenaline-filled ride that transforms every journey into an exciting and unforgettable experience.
