We have heard a lot about off road motorcycles, however Yamaha
Thailand has recently showcased its off road scooter concept “TTX
Adventure” in 2012 Bangkok International Motor Show last month. Yamaha
TTX Adventure scooter is based on Yamaha’s new TTX 115i scooter.
However, this scooter has got lot many features which make it true off
road scooter.
TTX Adventure has got longer travel suspension both at front and
rear. While the front seems to have advance telescopic suspension, the
rear has got gas filled shock absorber. It seems that it has longer
suspension and ground clearance compared to the TTX 115i scooter. It has
got stiff frame around the body and under the rear tyre considering the
off road shocks. It has got a set of trials universal tires for having
better traction while riding on muddy and potholes roads. It has good
luggage storage capacity such as two travel boxes attached at rear. It
has got off road style headlamp and side lamps for better night vision.
TTX adventure has got Yamaha’s YMJET-FI (Yamaha Mixture Jet-Fuel
Injection), this is Yamaha’s fuel injection technology which is similar
to Honda’s PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection). Yamaha claims YMJET-FI as
“more efficient mixing of the air and fuel that helps improve fuel
economy in the practical use range”. There are no such details out for
engine specification however it should have some higher capacity engine
for off road compared to TTX115i which uses 115cc automation
transmission engine.
As this is concept scooter, there is no such detail when it will
become production model. However, if Yamaha launches such scooter, it
will definitely have a appeal throughout the world as an off road
scooter.
