2027 TRACER 9 GT

Adaptive Matrix LED headlight

The adaptive Matrix LED headlight provides illumination like never before. Linked to a camera built into the fairing, the system detects surrounding traffic conditions and automatically controls individual LEDs within the matrix to deliver an optimally shaped beam of light to maintain illumination.

A new era of shifting with Y-AMT* (on Y-AMT model)

Experience a new way of riding with the choice of fully automatic (AT) or manual (MT) shifting via a finger-operated see-saw switch. Invigorating when you want, easy when you need, Y-AMT works in perfect harmony with the cutting-edge Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) electronic features to elevate the riding experience and deliver the perfect engine and transmission characteristics to suit the riding conditions and their own personal preferences.

Intelligent braking system with Vehicle Hold Control* (on Y-AMT model)

The TRACER 9 GT´s Unified Brake System incorporates a hydraulic unit to automatically distribute braking force to both wheels, adjusting the brake bias to assist topping power and controllability of the machine. In conjunction, the Vehicle Hold Control intuitively applies rear brake pressure when stopped, to allow seamless take-offs when on an incline or slope.

Premium backlit switchgear (on Y-AMT model)

The TRACER 9 GT Y-AMT features a premium backlit switchgear to allow easy operation of all features at night. The ergonomically designed controls include a five-way joystick linked to the 7” TFT dashboard and a finger operated see-saw switch for manual gear changes.

7" TFT dashboard with fully integrated Garmin navigation

The 7" TFT incorporates three themes and comes with Garmin LinkBox connectivity to provide integrated navigation, while calls, messages and music can be received through the Yamaha MyRide App and controlled using the five-way joystick on the left hand switch cube. A dedicated smart phone storage box includes a USB-A outlet for charging on the go.

Third generation quickshifter

The TRACER 9 GT (standard transmission) comes with Yamaha's third generation quickshifter system. Working in conjunction with the YRC ride modes, the shifter facilitates clutchless upshifts and auto-blip assisted changes down the gearbox with a wide operating range.

Adjustable semi-active electronic suspension

Developed especially for the TRACER 9 GT, KYB's KADS (KYB Actimatic Damper System) electronic suspension is the most advanced system found on any Yamaha production motorcycle. Governed by the six-axis IMU and ECU, the adjustable units are linked to the YRC mode and dynamically adjust damping to deliver an optimal riding experience in a variety of load and road conditions.

Smart key technology with central locking luggage

Yamaha's Smart Key System allows you to fire up the TRACER 9 GT without a physical ignition key. The key fob operates while in proximity of the bike and allows the central locking and unlocking of all functions, including the steering lock, fuel cap and the standard hard side cases, which remain secure whenever the smart key is out of range. When fitted, Yamaha's genuine accessory top box also operates in the same way.

Electronically adjustable windscreen

The TRACER 9 GT delivers improved wind protection thanks to a carefully designed front fairing and windscreen. The wind tunnel developed arrangement reduces buffeting to ensure both rider and pillion arrive at their destination fresher than ever, while the electronically controlled windscreen offers 100mm of stepless adjustment to allow the rider to fine tune the aerodynamics to meet their own specific preferences.

Customisable ride modes

TRACER 9 GT offers a highly customizable riding experience thanks to Yamaha Ride Control (YRC). This allows the rider to tailor their ride to match conditions and preferences. Three factory settings come preloaded (SPORT, STREET and RAIN) while two custom maps can be programmed through the dashboard menu or using the MyRide app, helping the rider choose their preferred engine power characteristics and electronic interventions.

Cruise control and speed limiter

Confirming the TRACER 9 GT's mile munching capabilities, the standard fitment of cruise control allows the rider to cruise the highways in comfort. Engageable from third gear, the cruise control can be adjusted in increments of 1km/h or 10km/h. A speed limiter function is also fitted, for times when the rider just doesn't want to creep over the limit!

More comfortable ergonomics for rider and pillion

The 2027 TRACER 9 GT features a long subframe to provide more space for both the rider and their passenger. This is combined with seat pads, which are flatter and generously padded, and a relaxed handlebar position. These allow for a better posture and increased comfort, particularly on longer journeys. The TRACER 9 GT is designed to be accessible at standstill too, with the saddle shaped to be slimmer at the standover point.
