O nly five years after its debut , Yamaha has given its triple cylinder Tracer a full revision for 2021 . Now boasting a larger capacity thanks to a 3mm increase in bore , the Tracer 9 GT as it is now dubbed has fully revised bodywork with new headlights reminiscent of the outgoing MT-09 . A key feature of the new Tracer 9 GT is the arrow silhouette formed by the windscreen , front fairing and fuel tank cover that gives a dynamic and purposeful new look Like the previous generation of the triple cylinder Tracer , Yamaha won ’ t bring in the base model of the Tracer 9 , and will focus on the better-equipped Tracer 9 GT for our market . Powering the all-new Tracer 9 GT is a completely redesigned 890cc CP3 engine that is lighter and more powerful than the original . The new inline three-cylinder engine features an increased capacity of 890cc thanks to a 3mm larger bore with the result being an increase of 7 % in torque . The peak torque figure of 93 Nm is produced at 7000rpm – 1500rpm lower down the rev range then previously . As well as this marked increase in linear torque , the power output of the larger 890cc engine is increased to 119hp at 10,000rpm , 4hp up on last year . Surprisingly , despite the larger capacity , the new Tracer engine actually weighs 1700g less than the outgoing design . Yamaha and KYB have jointly developed the Tracer 9 GT ’ s electronically-controlled semiactive suspension system . Officially known as the KYB Actimatic Damper System ( KADS ), this advanced suspension generates a much wider range of damping force than conventional suspension , and is able to respond instantly to varying riding conditions in order to achieve optimum handling performance . This use of this semi-active suspension system has been made possible by the bike ’ s new IMU , which works together with the ECU as well as the Hydraulic Unit ( HU ) and Suspension Control Unit ( SCU ) to calculate the optimum suspension settings for any given riding situation : fast or slow , wet or dry , smooth or bumpy , solo or two-up . The advantage of the solenoid system is that it is able to make extremely fast adjustments to damping settings , and it can handle both minor and major changes . According to Yamaha , by constantly analysing and computing the six-axis data , the IMU can signal the ECU to adjust damping settings in order to maintain chassis stability at all speeds , and by doing so KADS supplements the rider ’ s skills to ensure a more rewarding and enjoyable Sport Touring experience . Other technological upgrades come in the form of a full electronics suite of safety aids which works in tandem with the IMU , a new TFT display featuring two 3.5-inch screens , corning LED lights and four riding modes . Other features include an adjustable windscreen that can be adjusted by a total of 50mm through 10 increments of 5mm , heated grips , YZF-R1 lookalike brakes and a set of colour matched new hard cases fitted as standard equipment . The 2021 Tracer 9 GT is set to arrive in Kiwi dealers from April next year , with pricing yet to be announced by Yamaha Motor New Zealand .
