Hybrid technology: Now for bikes too
Hybrid technology has been there in cars for a long time, but it was difficult to put it in bikes. The system is big and complicated. But Yamaha first showed the SPHEV system on a scooter and now by bringing it on a bike, it has proved that their technology can work for powerful bikes too.
Combination of engine and motor: Power and savings
The Yamaha MT-09 hybrid has an electric motor above the engine, which is hidden behind the frame. When moving slowly, this bike runs only on electricity, which makes no noise. When the speed increases, both the petrol engine and the motor work together, which makes the bike go faster. It keeps changing automatically. This gives you both the smoothness of an electric bike and the power of a petrol bike.
New design Yamaha MT-09 Hybrid
The Yamaha MT-09 hybrid looks similar to its petrol counterpart, but there are a few things different. Its front looks more new and different. There is a large cooling device on the petrol tank and there is also a small LCD screen on the dashboard. There are also large panels to take air under the tank.
