Yamaha Tracer 9 2025: The Ultimate Sport Touring Experience

The Yamaha Tracer 9 continues to set the standard in sport touring with its impressive Deltabox chassis and legendary CP3 engine. This versatile machine effortlessly transitions between thrilling sportbike rides and comfortable touring with a passenger and luggage. Fully adjustable suspension, switchable riding modes, and the option of Yamaha’s Automated Manual Transmission (Y-AMT) enhance the Tracer 9's adaptability and elevate the excitement of every ride.

Key Features

Premium Dashboard and Enhanced Visibility

The 2025 Tracer 9 comes equipped with a 7-inch TFT dashboard, displaying everything a rider needs at a glance. Standard cornering LED headlights ensure excellent visibility around bends, while a 10-step adjustable windscreen and a two-position saddle improve comfort for riders of various heights.

Advanced Engineering and Lightweight Wheels

Crafted for dynamic handling, the Tracer 9 features Yamaha’s SpinForged wheels paired with custom Bridgestone tires. This combination results in a light and agile ride, perfectly complementing the responsive CP3 engine and lean-sensitive rider aids, making every ride smoother and more controlled.

Versatile Transmission Options

Yamaha’s Y-AMT system provides riders with two options for shifting: a finger-operated see-saw switch for manual gear changes, or a fully automatic mode for a relaxed cruise. Y-AMT seamlessly integrates with Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) to adapt engine and transmission settings based on road conditions and rider preferences.

Heated Grips and User-Friendly Controls

The Tracer 9 Y-AMT includes self-canceling indicators and integrated heated grips, offering up to 10 warmth levels and three programmable presets for ultimate comfort. A heated rider seat is also available, ensuring warmth even in colder weather.

Sleek, Wind-Tunnel-Tested Design

The Tracer 9’s bodywork has been optimized through wind-tunnel testing to improve weather protection, making long-distance rides more comfortable and reducing rider fatigue. The new design maintains the iconic “arrowhead” look that has become a hallmark of the Tracer series, while giving it a fresh and premium aesthetic.

Yamaha’s Signature CP3 Engine and Deltabox Frame

The award-winning 890cc CP3 engine and Deltabox-style aluminum chassis provide a balanced and confidence-inspiring ride. This combination, optimized with high-quality suspension and lightweight wheels, delivers a light and agile experience, perfect for both spirited rides and long journeys.

Tailored Riding with Yamaha Ride Control

Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) allows riders to customize their experience with three preset modes (SPORT, STREET, and RAIN) and two user-programmable maps. The system is easily managed via the dashboard or Yamaha’s MyRide app, enabling riders to fine-tune their engine response and electronic aids to match their personal preferences.

Enhanced Night Riding and Safety Features

The Tracer 9 is equipped with powerful twin LED headlights that offer both high and low beam functionality, complemented by LED cornering lights that enhance visibility during lean. This setup ensures greater confidence while riding at night, with the lights automatically adapting to illuminate a wider road area when the bike is leaned over.

Redesigned Subframe for Added Comfort

A 50mm longer subframe provides more space for both the rider and passenger, combined with improved seat padding for a sportier feel and more confidence when leaning through corners. The slimmed-down saddle and revised handlebar position allow for a more relaxed posture, ideal for extended rides and improved maneuverability.

New 7-inch TFT Dashboard and Enhanced Connectivity

The Tracer 9’s advanced dashboard includes three unique display themes, from a minimalistic sport layout to an information-rich touring view. The five-way joystick and switchgear make it easy to navigate through the dashboard’s features, while a USB-C charging port and storage compartment keep devices charged and essentials handy.

Improved Wind Protection

A redesigned front fairing and adjustable 10-step windscreen allow riders to personalize their aerodynamics, reducing buffeting and increasing comfort for both the rider and passenger. The Tracer 9’s slim frontal profile is maintained, ensuring an agile and responsive ride even with enhanced wind protection.

Built for the Open Road: Cruise Control and Speed Limiter

Standard cruise control enables the Tracer 9 to tackle long stretches with ease, and can be adjusted in 1 km/h or 10 km/h increments. For additional safety, a speed limiter function helps keep the bike within set speed limits, allowing riders to focus fully on the road ahead.

High-Performance Suspension System

The 41mm KYB front forks and rear shock absorber are fully adjustable, offering a wide range of settings to cater to both spirited solo rides and comfortable two-up touring. The modified rear linkage improves traction and load distribution during cornering, giving the Tracer 9 a balanced and controlled feel.

Enhanced Safety: Emergency Stop Signal

The Emergency Stop Signal system detects sudden braking, activating all four indicators to flash rapidly. This alerts surrounding vehicles to the rider’s quick deceleration, improving road safety during emergency stops.

Conclusion

The 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 embodies the ultimate fusion of sportbike performance and touring comfort. From its advanced CP3 engine and adaptable transmission to its luxurious dashboard and cutting-edge safety features, the Tracer 9 is a motorcycle designed to conquer any road with confidence. Whether you’re looking for exhilarating weekend rides or seamless cross-country journeys, the Tracer 9 offers unmatched versatility and reliability for every adventure.
