Matteo Guidicelli, Jessy Mendiola & James Reid Test Drive the New Yamaha Tricity

Kapamilya stars Matteo Guidicelli and Jessy Mendiola graced the grand launch of Yamaha Tricity, the latest in transportation ingenuity from Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc. The event was held on January 25 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

Dubbed as the “future of personal mobility,” the Yamaha Tricity has a revolutionary design that is meant to create a new standard city commuter that is equally efficient as it is practical without having to sacrifice the quality of its overall performance.

LMW

Built for a unique but natural movement, the core of this new commuter vehicle technology is the Leaning Multi Wheel or LMW. This system allows two front wheels to deal with changes in different road surfaces while keeping both tires in contact with the road as it leans. It provides a unique experience during each ride that is felt in every turn; any angle; surpassing the standards of style, performance, and technological innovation.

And since the Tricity has two front wheels, the rider will have no difficulty in keeping its balance making it easier to drive even for those who can’t drive a motorcycle. Perfect for the ladies, too!

Philippine All Stars opened the event with a street dance number.

The two Kapamilya stars spearheaded the test drive by learning about the Tricity first. They were the first to register for the test drive.

After watching a short AVP, they both wore their safety helmets and geared up to drive along the fun maze. The test riding area, by the way, has been retrofitted to showcase the abilities of the Tricity, the track included speed bumps, wet spots, ramps, and uneven surfaces.

James told the media covering the event that he’s not really into motorcycles but after trying the Tricity and how it’s easy and safe to drive (and how trendy it looks, I must add), it captured his interest right away.

Created to fit the urban lifestyle of the city trendsetter, the Yamaha Tricity has finally arrived. The world was set into full rev when it became part of Thailand’s budding metropolis; it hit the streets of Japan where it was received with such curiosity being the first of its kind; then it was a steady leaning takeover in Europe where the locals learned how to move, live, and love. Now in the Philippines, it takes the Filipino lifestyle to a whole new level by teaching the country how to Move Like No Other. Ride it for yourself, visit your nearest Yamaha 3S Shop and be part of a movement that redefines the future of transportation, today.

Here’s the Product Release from Yamaha about the new Tricity:

The Yamaha Tricity was conceptualized with the idea of it being “Smart for All”, a creation that was in pursuit of “Refined Dynamism”, Yamaha’s own design philosophy. The design elements of the machine reflect its modernity and elegance, giving an impression of dynamic movement, a look of confident intelligence that beautifully envelops the rider. The feature point of this New Commuter Vehicle is the LMW mechanism or Leaning Multi Wheel, a mechanism that allows two front wheels to deal with changes in different road surfaces while keeping both tires in contact with the road as it leans. Its function is perfected because of the harmonious integration of 2 key systems.

Tricity

• A PARALLELOGRAM LINK, a system that allows the parallel leaning of two front wheels and separate functioning of independent suspensions.

• and a CANTILEVERED TELESCOPIC SUSPENSION for the two front wheels with unique machine dimensions and geometry.

• It also has a UNIFIED BRAKING SYSTEM (UBS). When the rear brake lever is applied, force is administered to the front two discs and single rear disc.

• It has a displacement of 125 cc and is available in all 3s shops nationwide with the suggested retail price of PHP 146,000 and comes in matte red or white.

Experience a whole new level of enjoyment with the Yamaha Tricity, an innovation that gives convenience and fulfillment; surpassing the standards of style, performance, and technological breakthrough. Welcome to Yamaha’s ever growing World of personal mobility.
