Yamaha Motor Vietnam Company is excited to introduce the all-new Yamaha PG-1 with the message “Free to Wander”. This motorcycle generation combines the flexibility of an urban motorcycle with the adventurous spirit of wild motorcycles. PG-1 was specifically created to establish a new segment of motorcycles in the Vietnamese market.
The launch of PG-1 is clear evidence of Yamaha’s commitment to infusing strong spiritual values into every product and respecting the driving inspiration of every customer.
Targeting the Gen Z generation, PG-1 revolves around their enthusiasm, passion for exploration, and unique style. With its personality-full design, durable and fuel-efficient engine, and numerous convenient functions, PG-1 is not just a motorcycle; it is a reliable and inspiring companion for any adventure.
Yamaha believes that PG-1 is the starting point for a youthful journey filled with exciting exploration. During these trips, PG-1 will awaken and connect the spirits of freedom, serving as the greatest inspiration and an endless source of energy for passionate souls to explore and conquer even more milestones. This will lead young Gen Z individuals to have a truly meaningful, memorable, and “Free to Wander” youth with PG-1.
The new PG-1 combines the ease of operation of an urban motorcycle with excellent performance for long journeys, offering different driving inspirations. Specially designed to meet the needs of young people, PG-1 excels in city rides by displaying a strong personality on the streets. It also excels in soft-roading rides, showcasing off-road personality with a relaxed vibe.
FLEXIBLE AND DURABLE ENGINE:
113.7cc fuel-efficient engine, agile in the city, durable for long trips
PG-1 is equipped with a 4-stroke, SOHC, 113.7cc, 2-valve, electronic fuel injection, air-cooled engine. It offers high torque performance, ease of use, and low fuel consumption. This engine is suitable for various purposes, from daily commuting in the city to weekend trips.
The power and torque output of the engine are transmitted as a driving force through a 4-speed gearbox with an automatic centrifugal clutch. With the shortened secondary transmission ratio, the acceleration and pulling force are greatly enhanced.
Forged aluminum piston technology and gauze-shaped cylinder bore
The cylinder of the engine uses a lightweight forged aluminum piston, which ensures high durability and excellent response with minimal vibration. Additionally, the cylinder bore is designed with a unique pre-formed gauze-shaped lining to enhance heat dissipation and ensure stable engine performance.
FRAME FEATURES:
Large front/rear block-pattern tires, rugged block-shaped design
The front and rear tires of PG-1 are large, measuring 90/100 16 inches. The square block-shaped tire tread provides excellent balance and grip on all terrains due to the increased friction from the grooves.
“H” front fork with excellent rigidity and stability
PG-1 is equipped with an “H” design front fork (30mm front fork – 130mm fork stroke) with two separate forks arranged parallel to each other until the front fork center. This arrangement enhances rigidity and stability, ensuring optimal performance on various terrains and at high speeds.
Powerful and mechanically captivating rear suspension
The rear suspension of PG-1 has a dual form with a 109mm travel distance, providing excellent operation on bumpy roads and reliable load support. The captivating mechanical design is achieved by exposing the entire suspension connection mechanism to the body.
Wider and sturdier rear grab bar
To withstand high loads when riding on unpaved roads and continuously riding long distances, PG-1 features a wider and larger rear grab bar. This design improves stiffness, reduces vibration, and delivers a more comfortable riding experience.
