Yamaha Reveals Niken Leaning Three-Wheeler


Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer has revealed a new tilting three-wheeler, the Niken at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. The Yamaha Niken is based on the popular MT-09 platform and it has two wheels at the front which enhance the grip when leaning into corners



 The Yamaha Niken is the first production leaning three-wheeler. President of Yamaha Hiroyuki Yanagi unveiled the three-wheeler in Tokyo. The company calls it as a Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW). The overall styling of the three-wheeler is aggressive with a sharp and edgy design.

The front end of the Niken features two 15-inch wheels with dual-tube upside-down forks on each wheel. Both the wheels operate independently and lean when going around a corner. The twin headlamp setup and a beak-shaped front cowl with a windscreen enhance the looks of the three-wheeler.



 Yamaha has revealed that the Niken will draw power from a liquid-cooled, fuel injected, inline three-cylinder engine. The engine capacity and other technical details will be announced at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan on November 6, 2017.


 Yamaha states the Niken will be equipped with the Leaning Multi-Wheel Technology which will reduce the effect of changing road surface and provides stability when going around corners. The Niken also features wide single piece handlebar and a digital instrument cluster
