Positioned in Yamaha's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Yamaha Tricity 300 relies on a 292 cc (17.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 27.6 HP (20.2 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 29 Nm (21.4 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 94.5 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (7,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Tricity 300 measures 239 kg (527 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.66 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,595 mm (62.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 394 km (245 miles) between fill-ups.
