Yamaha, a brand known for innovation in the motorsports industry, has introduced the Yamaha Automated Manual Transmission (Y-AMT). This technology offers an innovative method of gear shifting with the goal of redefining the rider’s experience.
With a focus on rider-machine unity, the Jin-Ki Kanno philosophy serves as inspiration for the Y-AMT, which uses cutting-edge shifting technology to improve this connection. It offers a more engaging riding experience, especially for those who value a sporty feel.
The transition from a foot-operated gear pedal to a finger-based system is one of the main features of the Y-AMT.
The company claimed that this makes use of the brain’s superior connection to the hands, perhaps allowing for faster and more precise gear changes than traditional methods. This may allow riders to focus less on shifting and more on critical features such as throttle control, braking and body posture, perhaps resulting in a smoother, more controlled ride.
In any case, replacing the traditional gear pedal might not suit all riders. A foot-operated system can be more comfortable for certain people, particularly for individuals who are used to riding traditional motorcycles.
According to Yamaha, the Y-AMT gives smooth gear shifts top priority, regardless of the chosen mode. By focusing on smoothness, riders may focus on other elements of riding, which may result in a more interesting and enjoyable experience.
