New adjustable 41mm ‘upside down’ forks offer high levels of control and feel for enhanced road-holding performance while complementing the Tracer 7’s image as a serious sport tourer. A monocross linked-type rear shock, adjustable for both preload and rebound damping contributes to a perfect blend of comfort and responsiveness for long-distance sporty rides.
New ergonomic switchgear clusters enable intuitive and easy operation of the TRACER 7’s functions, including smartphone connectivity features, Yamaha Ride Control settings and Cruise Control. New self cancelling turn signals offer three-flash function for when changing lanes, plus an emergency flash function to alert other road users during an emergency stop.
The Tracer 7 features the compact 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin cylinder, DOHC CP2 engine with fuel injection, outstanding low- to mid-range torque and strong high-rpm pulling power. Fuel injection settings are optimised for seamless, linear throttle response, even when the throttle is slightly open at low rpm.
The Tracer 7’s 5-inch colour TFT display comes with multiple themes and smartphone connectivity via the free MyRide app, so you can listen to music as well as view call and message notifications. Full map and turn by turn navigation is available through the free Garmin StreetCross app, all of which can be controlled through the new ergonomic switchgear.
Tracer 7 includes cruise control as standard to make long-distance touring even easier. This easy-to-use system enables riders to maintain a steady speed on long open roads, reducing the need for constant throttle adjustments and providing a more relaxed, comfortable ride over extended distances.
YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) unlocks a new generation of rider aids and contributes to an even more linear power delivery. Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) gives you the choice of two throttle maps and switchable traction control, with the option of a customisable YRC mode to tailor the Tracer 7’s performance to your exact needs.
