2026 Yamaha MT-03

Your entry to the Dark Side. Built to thrill with a twin-cylinder engine, aggressive looks and serious street presence.

Features may include:

• Potent Twin-Cylinder Powerplant

Yamaha's 321cc liquid-cooled, inline two-cylinder engine features lightweight forged pistons and carburized connecting rods, delivering easy to manage power in the low rpm range with strong high RPM power. With a 180-degree crank design and integrated counterbalancer, the layout minimizes vibrations for a smooth, refined engine character.

• Advanced Assist & Slipper Clutch

An advanced Assist & Slipper clutch utilizes an assist cam and slipper cam to help inhibit excessive engine braking for a smooth, easy-to-handle feeling during downshifts while also reducing the amount of force required to pull the clutch lever for less hand fatigue. The shape of the clutch lever has also been optimized for enhanced feel.

• High-Performance KYB® Suspension

The MT-03's serious big-bike specification is underlined with the addition of an inverted KYB® front fork delivering a confident and smooth ride during braking, acceleration and cornering. Combined with a seven-step preload adjustable KYB® monocross rear shock, the suspension strikes a perfect balance between ride comfort and sporty performance across a wide range of uses, from urban commuting to twisty mountain roads.

• Smartphone Connectivity

The MT-03 features Yamaha Motorcycle Connect (Y-Connect) smartphone connectivity which works in conjunction with the free-of-charge Y-Connect app (available for iOS and Android) to enable a direct connection between motorcycle and smartphone. Y-Connect capability includes the ability to view incoming call, email and message notifications. Additional functions include the ability to track and record key motorcycle ride data within the app, including distance covered, fuel consumption, acceleration, motorcycle location and much more.

• Aggressive Next-Generation MT Design

There's absolutely no mistaking that the MT-03 is a member of Yamaha's legendary Hyper Naked family as the sporty tail section combines with an aggressive front light assembly, bold air scoops and a sculpted fuel tank, providing the MT-03 with a true Master of Torque presence.
