The Niken is a leaning three-wheeler made by Yamaha. that features Yamaha’s Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW) system for enhanced stability and confident cornering.
This design supports the twin front wheels and allows a lean angle of up to ~45°. it has a Engine 847 cc, liquid-cooled, inline three-cylinder (DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder). The engine is described as fun and pulls well, but the bike’s extra weight (270kg wet) slightly dulls the outright acceleration compared to two-wheeled siblings like the lighter Tracer 9. The GT model is well-regarded for its comfort, featuring an adjustable windscreen, large saddle, heated grips, and side cases that can fit a full-face helmet.
The size of front wheels about to 15-inch. It uses a very unique setup — two inverted fork legs per side. Good for riders who want more reassurance than a standard two-wheeler. Eye-catching; very different from any other bike. The Niken has a bold, futuristic design with a hybrid steel and aluminum frame.
Riders who want more front grip and stability without going full-on “car on three wheels.
