Shift into the future: The New TRACER 9, TRACER 9 GT and TRACER 9 GT+

Innovation

All versions of the 2025 TRACER 9 feature a cornering headlight system and, in a world first, Yamaha brings sophisticated adaptive Matrix LED headlight technology to motorcycling on the TRACER 9 GT and TRACER 9 GT+ models. With a matrix of low and high beam LEDs linked to an integrated camera, this technology detects traffic, natural light, and weather to automatically adjust brightness and light spread for optimal illumination. The system increases rider confidence while riding at night, distributing the light in such a way that it tries to ensure other road users are not dazzled, while adjusting the illuminated area for the rider.

Versatility

Standard on the TRACER 9 GT+ and available alongside a manual gearbox on the TRACER 9 and TRACER 9 GT, Yamaha’s Y-AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) delivers a new riding experience with a choice of fully automatic shifting or manual, finger-operated shifts using an electronically controlled auto clutch. The Y-AMT’s manual mode lets riders shift by hand alone, allowing riders to concentrate fully on throttle control, braking, lean angle, and grip—intensifying the riding experience, especially through corners.

Connectivity

All 2025 TRACER 9 models feature an advanced 7” TFT dashboard, while GT and GT+ models come with full smartphone connectivity. To enhance the ride, the TRACER 9 includes a storage area on the right side of the fuel tank with a USB charging port, so riders can keep devices charged on the go Riders can link their smartphone to the machine using Yamaha’s free MyRide app.

The connection can be made via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth®, and once connected the rider can view information on incoming calls, emails and messages, while both riders and passengers can also listen to music and respond to calls with a Bluetooth®-connected headset (not supplied).

The smartphone integrates seamlessly with the TRACER 9’s display and switchgear. The rider can view the menus and control the device functions through the newly designed controls on the left handlebar cube. Additionally, when connected to the motorcycle, riders are able to personalise the custom modes of the Yamaha Ride Control, setting their preferred power delivery, engine braking and intervention levels of the TRACER 9’s numerous electronic rider aids.
