Yamaha's MT-Series goes to the dark side

Oct. 2 2018 Bikes By Stuart McMillian

Yamaha Motorcycles has a new color scheme for the new 2019 MT bikes.  They are calling it Ice Fluo.  The new color is featured on the MT-07, MT-09, and MT-10.  To introduce the new MT-Series to the world, Yamaha released this video called, "The Dark Side of Japan."

For those who want to go even darker, the black raven version will be available also in 2019.

MT-10 TOP FEATURES

1 .  Latest Generation Crossplane Crankshaft Engine

The potent 998cc inline 4-cylinder engine features the same Crossplane Crankshaft technology developed in Yamaha’s renowned YZF-R1® superbike.  Tuned specifically for the MT-10™, this engine develops awesome low- and mid-rpm torque with arm-stretching top-end power.

2 .  Advanced Digital Control

The MT-10 features a range of systems powered by YCC-T®—a ride- by-wire throttle system that provides exceptionally precise engine control.  D-Mode allows the rider to select a preferred engine response at the flick of a switch. A Traction Control System (TCS) assists the
rider in managing rear tire traction on various road conditions.  The MT-10 also includes cruise control for improved highway cruising
comfort.

3 .  Cutting Edge Chassis

Like the YZF-R1 superbike, the MT-10 uses an aluminum Deltabox® frame to create a lightweight and responsive chassis built for agility,
featuring an ultra-compact 55.1-inch wheelbase.  The MT-10 mounts fully-adjustable KYB® suspension front and rear for excellent road holding with a tuning range ready for a wide range of street conditions.

4 .  Powerful, Controllable Brakes with ABS

An advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is mated to high- specification braking components for strong braking power with excellent feedback and control.

5 .  Aggressive Ergonomics and Styling

The MT-10 displays raw aggression from every angle, with upright ergonomics that perfectly balance sport riding feedback and relaxed
comfort. High-tech LED lighting and an all-LCD instrument panel boost both style and function.
