Adventure DNA Built-in For True Capability

Since its beginning, Yamaha Motor Company has repeatedly reshaped the motorcycle and scooter landscape by combining performance, innovation and accessibility. Over the years, Yamaha has pioneered new technologies and pushed the boundaries of mobility, advancing urban transportation through the MAX line-up while opening up a world of new adventures with the robust and durable Ténéré 700 range.

Today, as a result of decades of on and off-road development and engineering excellence, Yamaha takes one step further by creating a bridge between two worlds with the all-new RW Series of premium, versatile, adventure-ready scooters – delivering everyday freedom in the true sense of the word.

Built to redefine the standards of performance, capability and freedom to move both on and off-road, the RW Series introduces a new benchmark. Designed to spark the spirit of adventure, the RW700, RW700 Explore and RW350 mark the beginning of the first true Adventure Scooter segment.

Dominant in the city, the RW Series is stable, refined and composed. It turns daily commutes into a comfortable and premium experience, while extraordinary adventures are within reach when the road opens up or disappears altogether.

Breaking through boundaries, these machines take you on a journey of exploration and discovery unlike anything you have experienced previously on two-wheeled scooters. Marketing claims don’t define this series – real world use does.

With measurable confidence, control and versatility across every riding environment, the RW Series has been built with the rider in mind. A seat designed to be moved on – not to hold you in one place, footpegs that provide comfort when you want it and grip when you need it, and an engine that puts all the power at your fingertips. The RW Series isn’t here to join the game, it’s here to change it.

At the heart of the RW Series lies the RW700. Powered by the proven CP2 engine and combined with a rugged steel tube style frame, the RW700 is a true motorcycle-scooter crossover. It embodies Yamaha’s belief that performance, adventure and everyday usability should coexist without compromise. This model stirs the desire to set off on a journey and maximise the enjoyable experiences life has to offer.

The RW700 is joined by the RW700 Explore – the same exceptional motorcycle-scooter crossover, but with specially designed extras to provide the ultimate in luxury and premium level comfort. The upgrades include front suspension with adjustable preload and rebound damping capabilities, heated grips, heated seat, a centre stand and backlit switchgear, as well as its own dedicated colour options. The RW700 Explore invites the rider to go in search of new roads and explore with ease, with zero compromise on the features that add comfort to everyday riding.

Both the RW700 and RW700 Explore present unrivalled commuting and exploring opportunities, providing the rider with true freedom of movement, opening unexplored territory and encouraging you to chase your next adventure.

Joining the family is the RW350, which punches well above its class as it redefines the category of middle-weight scooters. Built for the adventurous commuter and powered by an all-new 330cc liquid cooled, 4-stroke engine with Yamaha Dynamic Ride, it achieves agile handling with powerful, linear acceleration and outstanding handling.

The RW350 has been built without compromise to deliver true performance where it counts, granting pure freedom to the rider by blending comfort and practicality. A scooter that makes every day exciting, encourages you to go further than ever before and allows you to choose your own route – every day.

With DNA built from adventure, the RW series invites you to a time of realising the world was larger than you could have ever imagined. Designed to awaken a sense of adventure, encouraging riders to go off the beaten path on a machine that’s capable, not just on paper, but in the real world. More than adventure styling – these bikes are adventure-capable, built in from the very first push of the starter button.

The RW700 & RW700 Explore: Real-world Performance

Purposeful Power With Cutting-Edge Technology

Torque-Rich CP2 Engine With YCC-T

At the heart of the RW700 and RW700 Explore, lies the torque-rich CP2 engine, which has been the middleweight benchmark across a range of Yamaha models. This proven engine enhances the sense of unity between rider and machine, ensuring maximum enjoyment, rideability and comfort while staying true to Yamaha DNA.

The unrivalled character of the CP2 engine maintains excellent controllability, enabling the rider to easily modulate performance at low to mid RPM. It allows for real-world on-road and off-road use, while staying true to its fun nature, making the rider want to open the throttle and enjoy every twist and bend in the road, while enjoying the energetic sounds of the CP2 engine along the way.

The Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) results in smooth torque characteristics throughout the entire rev range and is tuned to deliver excellent response at minimal throttle, giving the rider a comfortable overall power delivery when riding through busy streets and when exploring country roads.

Power At Your Fingertips With An Optimised Y-AMT System

Specifically optimised for the RW series, the RW700 utilises an enhanced Yamaha Automated Manual Transmission (Y-AMT) system, allowing riders to shift gear without the need for a clutch lever or gearshift pedal. This technology also makes the RW700 the first Yamaha scooter with gear-changing abilities, as well as the first time that Y-AMT has been developed for off-road use.

The Y-AMT system was introduced in 2024, granting riders the ability to choose between shifting gears manually using a see-saw switch integrated on the handlebars (MT), or using a fully automatic gear change (AT). The feature has been used across a range of motorcycle models, allowing precise gear shifts in 0.1s, giving the rider greater feeling and allowing them to shift their focus and enjoy their ride without distractions.

For the RW700, the Y-AMT system now has a smoother shift thanks to a rubberised clutch damper and revised spring load settings for the shift rod, with specific settings allowing for both on and off-road use for greater rider control and usability. The see-saw switch shape and layout have been optimised to suit the handlebar and brake lever of the RW700, allowing for more reliable shifting and finer and more intuitive brake control.

Data In Real Time With Yamaha’s Six-axis Imu Accompanied By A Suite Of Electronic Rider Aids

Yamaha’s six-axis IMU unit has been developed over the last decade and appears on many of their flagship models. Adapting the latest technology to the RW700, the six-axis IMU is able to send data in real time to the ECU which controls the suite of electronic rider aids, such as Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS) and Brake Control System (BCS) giving the rider the ultimate package to take them anywhere they wish to explore.

Further Controlability From Yamaha Ride Control (YRC)

Showcasing further controllability of the RW700, Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) allows the rider to select engine power characteristics and the degree of support of electronic rider aids, based on personal rider preferences.

YRC offers a host of rider modes, working in perfect harmony with Y-AMT, which are divided into two groups: ROAD and GRAVEL.

In ROAD, there are three presets consisting of SPORT, which provides high engine response for twisty roads, STREET, which covers a wide range of surfaces and is well suited to city riding, and ECO, which tones down the power output and prioritises fuel efficiency and ease of use.

In GRAVEL, there are two presets which are designed for off-road riding including EXPLORE, which adjusts shifting and vehicle behaviour for off-road surfaces for enhanced rideability, and EXPLORE+, which adds more engine response than the EXPLORE mode. Additionally, EXPLORE+ can be fully customised depending on rider preferences.

The RW700 and RW700 Explore are enhanced with a host of electronic rider aids. Power Delivery Mode (PWR) changes the throttle response from sporty to mild, the Traction Control System (TCS) efficiently manages drive force from the rear tyre with low to high intervention, and the Slide Control System (SCS) detects slides at the rear and adjust the engine output with low to high intervention. The Brake Control System (BCS) detects slides when the machine is leaned over and controls brake pressure accordingly, while the Back-slip Regulator (BSR) controls engine torque when the rear wheel locks up.

Both BCS and BSR can be switched on and off in all modes to give extra riding freedom. Rear ABS can be switched off when in GRAVEL mode only.

The flexibility in the YRC riding modes enhances both commuting and distance-based riding, while also allowing riders the freedom to explore off-road without ever losing performance or controllability, once again placing the RW700 at the forefront of real-world riding capabilities.

Off-Road Riding Control Delivered By GSH (Gravel Shift)

During AT operation (fully automatic gear change enabled by Y-AMT), shift timing is controlled based on vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle opening and gear position. There are separate shift programs for ROAD and GRAVEL. Using the GRAVEL mode, upshifts are suppressed after throttle application as well as while the rear wheel is sliding. This allows for fine throttle modulation and a controlled degree of rear-wheel slip, allowing riders to generate and maintain traction on loose surfaces.

To enhance controllability and rider freedom in off-road conditions, the RW700’s rear ABS can also be disabled while in GRAVEL mode. A dedicated control strategy has been adopted to reduce the risk of engine stalling, so when rear-wheel lock-up or hard braking is detected, clutch capacity is reduced, helping to prevent the engine from stalling. This control also aids the rider in real-world off-road riding situations such as when a wheel spins on a log, by maintaining smoother and more predictable behaviour.

Enhanced Comfort Without Compromise With Cruise Control And Speed Limiter

For enhanced comfort, the RW700 also offers cruise control as standard, along with the Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL). Both of these features provide a premium feeling without compromise, ensuring longer rides are smooth and enjoyable, giving the rider time to focus on the journey itself.

Connectivity Ready Five-inch TFT Display

The RW700 gets a five-inch full colour display, which can be easily connected to the rider’s smartphone through the free MyRide app, allowing users to take calls on the go and manage music while riding. Also available is on-screen navigation with the free Garmin StreetCross app, which offers either a full map, or turn-by-turn-navigation with real-time traffic information. In addition to this, the cockpit comes equipped with a USB-C type port, ensuring devices stay charged and ready to use. These features allow true freedom, ensuring riders get only as lost as they want to.

The modern display is designed to be in harmony with the bikes design, with a nod to the nature that inspired it. The display themes prioritise functionality while also drawing on the emotions of the rider who can choose between three display themes. The exclusive RW theme expresses the model’s unique positioning, with distant mountains in the background while the layout shows the bikes current status in a clear way, allowing riders to process the information intuitively. One other theme strips back to a more regular display, showing throttle movement for a pleasing look, while another shows a simplified layout, for riders who want only the most relevant information on show.

Advanced Smart Key & One-push Start System

The RW700 features smart key technology which allows the rider to switch the power on/off, start/stop the engine, release the handlebar lock, open/close the seat lock and open/close the fuel cap release while the key is on their person.

A push start system also allows a single push of the start button to activate the starter motor and start the engine once the brake lever is pulled in and the power is on. The starter motor then automatically disengages, eliminating the need for the rider to continue holding the switch.

Self-Cancelling Led Turn Signals

Further increasing rider comfort, are the self-cancelling LED turn signals, which in addition to left/right functionality and hazard lights, three additional features are standard on the RW700. A light press provides a three-flash lane-change signal, while a full press activates continuous flashing. Emergency Stop Signalling (ESS) activates both turn signals when the system detects sudden braking, and an Auto-Cancelling function turns off the signals after 15 seconds if the bike has travelled more than 150 meters.

Durable Build For Maximum Performance

A High-tensile Steel Frame For True Performance

Engineered for the real world, the RW700 and RW700 Explore deliver true performance with a backbone-type high-tensile steel tube frame, effectively supressing chassis movement even on continuously uneven surfaces ensuring rough-road capability and stability.

Allowing the rider the freedom of seated and standing riding positions, the hybrid construction of steel and boxed plastic resin stands out by offering enough space to move and places to grip to ride how you like, when you like.

Long Travel Suspension With Superior Shock Absorption

The RW700 delivers effective impact absorption over rough surfaces to provide confidence, control and versatility, with its suspension providing 160mm of front wheel travel on its 41mm inverted front fork, paired with a bottom-link type monoshock with 155mm travel at the rear with adjustable 7 step preload / 2.5 step rebound damping.

Excellent road-holding performance is guaranteed, while a high level of stability enhances ride comfort and reduces fatigue on longer journeys so that the RW700 can easily go the distance. The RW700 Explore gives extra rider control with 15mm of front fork preload adjustability and 11-step rebound damping adjustability.

Seat Designed For Real World Riding With Ample Underseat Storage

Blending sportiness with comfort, the RW700 features a rider’s seat with a firm yet flexible design, which allows easy movement forward, rearward and side to side – reaffirming its real-world capability for riding both on and off-road and making a statement that riders should no longer be boxed in by having to choose one style or the other. In addition, the front section has a narrowed profile which not only makes it easier to mount and dismount during everyday use but also allows for the rider to easily extend a foot when riding on off-road terrain.

The RW700 boasts a ground clearance of 170mm, while the seat height of 810mm paired with the carefully-designed seat profile allows riders to easily reach the ground with their feet – giving the rider full control and confidence on any terrain they choose to explore.

In contrast, the passenger seat is given a wide seating surface for enhanced comfortability, along with an LED-lit compartment underneath capable of storing a full-face helmet*.

The RW700 Explore also features a heated rider’s seat with ten heat settings to choose from, allowing year-round comfort no matter the temperature.

Four-way Adjustable Footpegs & Foldable Forward Footrests

Allowing for the perfect fit, the footpegs can be adjusted to four different positions by moving them forwards, backwards, higher, or lower. This gives greater optimisation of the riding position for each individual rider to suit their own preference. The rubber mounted on the footpegs reduces vibrations during normal road riding and can also be removed for improved grip and feeling when heading off-road.

In addition to the footpegs, the RW700 is also equipped with foldable footrests positioned further forwards, granting the rider the comfort of a more relaxed, feet-forward riding position and added wind protection to make sure that both commutes and long journeys feel effortless.

The combination of the footpegs and footrests gives riders a unique ability to change riding position quickly and confidently depending on terrain. This flexibility of foot position, paired with a flexible seated position invites riders to change from seated to standing positions easily when riding over uneven terrain, while never compromising on handling or agility.

Durable Off-Road Style Wheels & Tubeless Tyres

Featuring lightweight aluminium rims combined with Yamaha’s first stainless-steel cross spokes, the RW700 wheels deliver serious rough-road capability whilst combining confidence-inspiring stability with agile handling. The 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels, combined with the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tubeless tyres give incredible grip for agile handling and enhanced stability, allowing the rider confidence through corners and on changing road conditions.

Superior Brakes For Added Control

Providing optimised braking control and stability are a pair of four-piston radial-mount calipers with 298mm floating double discs. At the rear is a single 267mm disc with a single-piston caliper. ABS is equipped as standard on both front and rear, with the option to disable the rear ABS for added off-road control in GRAVEL mode.

Lightweight With Optimum Manoeuvrability

A hybrid body, developed to bridge the worlds between commuter and adventure style riding has been utilised on the RW700, to give riders the ultimate feeling of being in control, whether seated for longer journeys, or standing on the footpegs while heading off-road. The RW700 is easily manoeuvrable thanks to its low centre of gravity, and this in partnership with total wet weight of only 221 kg, being evenly distributed throughout the machine gives riders extra confidence while exploring new roads and forest trails.

The shaped front knee-grip area supports manoeuvrability, while also allowing riders to extend their legs during off-road riding. This wide range of riding positions gives a true feeling of freedom, ensuring the rider never feels restricted.

Extra Protection From Damage & Wind

An aluminium skid plate mounted under the chassis provides extra protection for the engine, frame, exhaust and other components. This gives the RW700 robust capability when riding off road, opening up a whole new realm of possibilities and giving you the added protection to tackle it with confidence.

The tapered aluminium handlebars offer superb rigidity as well as an attractive look, while plastic knuckle visors on both sides complete the package. Along with a fixed windscreen, they provide added wind protection to allow the rider to ride as long as they like in both comfort and style.

Designed To Blend In With Nature

Each element of the RW700 was designed with nature in mind, taking cues from great forests, wild campsites and rough terrain in every design aspect. Inspired by the great-outdoors, the signature Sage Blue and Forest Green colours take their inspiration from balancing the distinctive spirit of outdoor gear with a refined and sophisticated character, while the rounded shapes throughout the bodywork suggest harmony with nature itself.

Texnature: Harmony With Nature

Unlike anything before it, the design of the RW series is steeped in the rugged nature surrounding Yamaha. The TEXNATURE concept seeks to create harmony between the exterior bodywork and the natural environment, taking inspiration from two well-known spots in Yamaha’s hometown – the Tenryu River and the Nakatajima Sand Dunes. Samples were taken from the locations and were pivotal in creating the unique textures and tactile sensations found on the RW machines.

Durabio™ At The Heart Of Sustainability

In an effort to reduce the RW’s impact on the environment, Yamaha has used a wide range of sustainable materials, including recycled and biobased components in the production of these latest models.

Using materials like DURABIO™, a bio-engineered plastic primarily derived from plant sources, across a range of components, Yamaha show their commitment to sustainability in design, reducing the environmental impact of the RW series.

Adventure-inspired Compact LED Headlight

The headlight of the RW700 is inspired by Yamaha’s Adventure models and composed of four LED units which contribute to the distinctive shape and look of the front face. The bright LED lights provide added safety and illuminate the darkest forest roads meaning the adventure doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down.

RW700 Explore

The RW700 Explore is derived from the flagship RW700 and takes ownership of all the standard technical features. As well as these, it also boasts enhanced comfort for longer journeys and exploration. Designed for those who want the most premium option, the RW700 Explore comes equipped with a front fork offering 15mm of preload adjustability and 11 rebound damping settings, heated grips, a heated seat (rider only), a centre stand, as well as a backlit switchgear.

RW350: Everyday Freedom

All-New 330cc Engine With Yamaha Dynamic Ride

An all-new 330cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, SOHC, single-cylinder, four-valve, fuel-injected engine has been specifically designed to give riders power when they want it in urban environments, while enhancing the ease of use when they choose to explore further afield.

The newly developed engine is part of a unique layout unlike anything Yamaha have used before: Yamaha Dynamic Ride. Unlike unit-swing setups where the engine and CVT housing are integrated and move vertically as a single unit, or rigid mounting arrangements where the swingarm extends rearward from the engine with the CVT unit fixed to the frame, Yamaha Dynamic Ride offers a setup where the engine is fixed to the frame, while only the CVT unit moves vertically around the crankshaft pivot. This new, innovative layout brings several benefits to the RW350, including substantially less unsprung weight, improved rigidity and greater freedom for rear suspension layout. As part of the Yamaha Dynamic Ride, the four-axis balancer works in harmony with the new engine and CVT unit to create a smoother, more premium riding experience. This unique layout provides riders with a settled chassis behaviour on rough terrain, resulting in excellent handling and stability.

The new engine also features the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) which is another first for Yamaha in this class. This system detects the rider’s throttle inputs, and the ECU instantly calculates the ideal degree of throttle valve opening to match.

These innovations combine to firmly mark the RW350 as a standout in its class, leading the way as a mid-weight scooter.

Enhanced Control With Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) Modes And Cruise Control

Whether taking on the city, or taking the road less travelled, the YRC modes allow the rider to select engine power characteristics to suit their personal preferences.

Three presets are offered to suit a wide range of riding situations, consisting of STREET, well suited to city riding, covering a wide range of surfaces, EXPLORE, which shares the same characteristics as STREET, but allows for a certain degree of rear-wheel slide, prioritising riding freedom when heading off-road, and ECO, toning down power, allowing for optimised controllability when riding in the rain or on sub-optimal road surfaces. Each of these modes engages separate Power (PWR) and Traction Control (TCS) settings, giving the rider greater control over the scooter’s performance in changing terrain and conditions.

The RW350 also comes with cruise control which gives added comfort and ease of riding on longer journeys or when tackling motorway rides.

Added Technology With Smart Key & One-push Start System

The RW350 features smart key technology which allows the rider to switch the power on/off, start/stop the engine, release the handlebar lock, open/close the seat lock and open/close the fuel cap release while the key is on their person.

A push start system also allows a single push of the start button to activate the starter motor and start the engine once the brake lever is pulled in and the power is on. The starter motor then automatically disengages, eliminating the need for the rider to continue holding the switch.

Stability And Agility At The Forefront Of Chassis Design

Providing agile handling as well as excellent stability, the RW350’s diamond-shaped backbone-type high-tensile steel tube frame showcases an efficient use of space enabling a highly versatile riding position that is comfortable whether the rider is seated on their daily commute or standing when exploring further afield ensuring you no longer have to choose between comfort and function.

Long-stroke Front Suspension With Seven Adjustable Settings On Rear Twin Shocks

Featuring a 37mm inverted fork at the front with 140mm of travel, and twin shocks at the rear allowing 105mm, shock absorption on rough surfaces or uneven terrain is enhanced. More than capable of taking on various road surfaces, comfort is the priority whether you’re on smooth tarmac or find yourself exploring through cobblestone streets. The suspension is also adjustable across seven settings, so it can be tuned to suit road conditions, or the weight of a passenger or luggage on the bike ensuring that there is no compromise on its agile handling, even when fully loaded.

Rally Style Inspired Wheels With Vibration Damping & Rugged Tyres

The wheel design of the RW350 is inspired by rally car wheels with a large dish shape around the hub to express the strength and toughness of the lower chassis. Another first for Yamaha is the cast aluminium rear wheel housing a damper inside the hub, reducing vibration during both acceleration and deceleration for a smoother ride. The front wheel is 16-inch, with the rear being 14-inch, sporting the Dunlop D615 tubeless block-pattern tyres developed specifically for the RW350 to give excellent grip across a wide range of surface conditions while delivering clear feedback and agile handling.

Tapered Rider Seat For Ease Of Movement On Varied Terrain With Convenient Under Seat Storage

Freedom of movement is at the heart of the seat design, which combines the sporty aspect of being able to move forward and backwards, while still being comfortable for everyday riding. The rider’s seat is tapered to allow riders to easily mount and dismount the scooter, and this in turn also allows a good reach for riders to easily be able to place their feet on the ground when stopping. In addition, the underseat storage compartment accommodates a full-face helmet* and luggage for practical everyday use.

Wide Footpegs For Easy Weight Transfer And Foldable Footrests For Added Comfort On Daily Rides

Allowing for extra comfort, the RW350 features wide footpegs with rubber inserts and heel guards for excellent hold on the chassis and further vibration dampening. When standing up, the rubber compresses under load allowing the rider to properly weight the footpegs, giving that motorcycle feeling of handling and control. The footpeg rubbers can be removed when increased grip is required, such as on off-road terrain.

In addition to the footpegs, the RW350 is also equipped with foldable footrests. These are positioned further forward, giving the rider added wind protection, as well as increased comfort for long-distance riding or high-speed cruising enabling you to go further in comfort than ever before.

Agile Handling Combined With Lightweight Design

Striking a balance between rugged adventure-style appeal and nimble, commuter-like handling, the RW350 deploys its lightweight chassis design with its Yamaha Dynamic Ride layout to create a narrow body which provides precise handling and agility letting the rider effortlessly manoeuvre through paved or unpaved surfaces.

Elements like its long-travel suspension, generous ground clearance and a well-balanced wheel-base make for stable riding, while the seat profile paired with the combination of footpegs and footrests give the rider the freedom to change between both seated and standing riding positions easily and comfortably for an agile ride no matter what the terrain. The RW350 feels like a natural extension of the riders body, with a snug but secure fit for the lower body, delivering excellent grip and stability.

Extra Protection For Added Confidence

The tapered steel handlebars offer superb rigidity, vibration damping and impact resistance while prioritising ease of riding along narrow roads or forest trails. Additionally, the skid plate mounted under the chassis provides extra protection for crucial components allowing the rider more confidence when facing tougher terrain. The RW350 maintains a healthy ground clearance of 185mm.

Five-inch TFT Full Colour Instrument Panel With Connectivity & Three Display Themes

The RW350 allows riders further freedom of movement with features designed to help the rider navigate city streets and roads further afield. The five-inch full-colour TFT instrument panel allows riders to connect their smartphone through the free MyRide app, enabling them to answer calls on the go, manage music while riding as well as make changes to the bikes YRC modes. Riders can also install the free Garmin StreetCross app and pair it to the dashboard of the RW350, giving full map or turn-by-turn navigation with real-time traffic information.

The dashboard also displays current speed, RPM with a digital bar-type tachometer, remaining fuel, average fuel consumption, engine temperature, ambient temperature and more. Switching between functions is done via handlebar switches.

Inspiring a sense of unity with the RW350, the display themes prioritise function and emotion, with high readability still an important feature. There are three display themes available, with an exclusive RW theme showcasing mountains in the background designed to inspire riders to go further. One other theme showcases a simplified display with throttle activation viewable, while another shows a simplified layout, for riders who want only the most relevant information on display.

A USB-C port is also located in the cockpit of the RW350, allowing riders to easily charge their phones on the go.

Adventure-inspired Compact LED Lighting

The headlights, which are inspired by Yamaha’s Adventure line-up, are composed of four LED units which contribute to the front face’s distinctive shape and look. LEDs are also used for the turn signals and the taillight, making the RW350 highly visible when riding in lower light conditions.

In addition to left/right functionality and hazard light function of the turn-signals,  three additional features are standard on the RW350. A light press provides a three-flash lane-change signal, while a full press activates continuous flashing. Emergency Stop Signalling (ESS) activates both turn signals when the system detects sudden braking, and an Auto-Cancelling function turns off the signals after 15 seconds if the bike has travelled more than 150 meters.

Texnature & Dedicated Colours: Blending In With Nature

Inspired by nature, and specifically by the nature surrounding Yamaha, TEXNATURE was a concept introduced specifically for the RW Series. Creating harmony between the exterior bodywork and the natural environment, inspiration was taken from the soil and rivers to develop the texture and colours of the RW350.

The new RW350 will be available in three colours, Sage Blue, Arashi Sand and Midnight Black.
