The airbag, which was created in collaboration with Autoliv, is installed on the front apron below the steering handle.

Engine, Platform, and Feature Upgrades

The Tricity 300 continues with Yamaha’s leaning multi wheel platform and a 292cc single cylinder engine. Euro5+ compliance is achieved through a new catalytic converter that is 800 grams lighter than before. In addition, the scooter features all LED lights, a 4.2 inch colour TFT display, smartphone connectivity, Garmin navigation via StreetCross, & cornering ABS.
