Yamaha Saluto Amanda Blue: The Perfect Blend of Efficiency and Control
Innovative Design and Advanced Braking System
The Yamaha Saluto stands out with its Unified Braking System (UBS), a cutting-edge feature that enhances braking efficiency and rider safety. The UBS technology ensures that the front brake is partially applied when the rear brake is fully engaged, providing better control and stability. Powered by an air-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve engine, the Saluto embodies Yamaha's Blue Core Engine Development philosophy, delivering a balance of power and fuel efficiency. Weighing in at just 114 kg, it is the lightest in its class, making it an ideal choice for urban commuting and everyday use.
Engine and Transmission: Power and Efficiency
The heart of the Yamaha Saluto is a 125cc single-cylinder engine that produces a maximum power of 8.3 PS at 7000 rpm and a peak torque of 10.1 Nm at 4500 rpm. The engine's 52.4mm bore and 57.9mm stroke, along with a compression ratio of 10.0:1, ensure smooth and efficient performance. The carburetor-based fuel delivery system, coupled with CDI (capacitor discharge ignition), provides reliable ignition and optimal fuel consumption. The constant mesh 4-speed transmission and wet, multiple disc clutch ensure seamless gear shifts and a responsive ride.
Brakes, Wheels, and Suspension: Stability and Comfort
Equipped with a 245mm disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear, the Yamaha Saluto offers reliable stopping power. The bike features 80/100-18 tubeless tyres at both the front and rear, providing excellent grip and durability. The front suspension consists of a telescopic fork, while the rear suspension is a swingarm setup, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride over various terrains. With a ground clearance of 180mm and a seat height of 805mm, the Saluto is designed for stability and ease of handling. The 7.6-liter fuel tank and dual start options (electric and kick start) add to the bike's practicality and convenience.
