Context
Why does this story matter?
The 2023 iteration of the Yamaha Crosser offers more features as compared to the outgoing model and can run on both petrol and ethanol. This off-road-biased vehicle should attract a lot of buyers in the Brazilian market. If the two-wheeler arrives on our shores, it will have to be priced competitively. The rivalry in the ADV segment will be raised to a great extent.
Design
The bike has an LED headlight and spoked wheels
The 2023 Yamaha Crosser has a sloping fuel tank with extensions, a prominent beak, a stepped-up single-piece seat, a pillion grab rail, and a high-mounted exhaust. The bike packs an LED headlamp, digital instrument console, and rides on spoked wheels. It gets a 12-liter fuel tank and is up for grabs in four shades, namely red, cream, blue, and black.
Information
It runs on a 12hp, 149cc engine
The Yamaha Crosser is powered by a 149cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The mill generates a maximum power of 12.42hp at 7,500rpm and a peak torque of 12.75Nm at 6,000rpm.
Safety
There are disc brakes on both the ends
To ensure the safety of the rider, the new Yamaha Crosser ADV is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with ABS to avoid skidding on the roads while braking. Suspension duties on the two-wheeler are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and a mono-shock unit on the rear end.
