2026 Yamaha Tricity 300 Debuts With First Production Scooter Airbag

Developed with Autoliv, the system uses IMU-based crash detection and has been validated through simulations and full-scale tests.

Overview

  • The scooter is slated for a Europe launch in Q2 2026 with a choice between a standard model and an airbag-equipped variant, with pricing unannounced and no India launch planned.
  • The airbag is integrated inside the front apron and deploys in frontal collisions to cushion the rider and reduce the risk of being thrown forward.
  • Autoliv says the design maintains vehicle balance and storage practicality and has been verified to applicable development standards.
  • Safety hardware is upgraded with a new IMU-governed Brake Control system and a Unified Brake System to help prevent wheel lock and stabilize chassis behavior.
  • The model adds a 4.2-inch TFT plus a 2.8-inch LCD and built-in Garmin navigation, alongside sharper styling and updated lighting.
