What is the name of the motorcycle with dual front wheels?
2 Answers
MWT-9 is the name of the motorcycle with a dual-wheel design at the front. Here is some relevant information about the MWT-9: Appearance: YAMAHA designed the front of the MWT-9 by incorporating the styling concept of the MT-09 Tracer, resulting in sharp angular lines that exude a mechanical feel. The multi-layered panels form the front, while the connection between the front and the fuel tank features smooth curves, giving the body a cohesive appearance. The rear grab handle also adopts a curved design, extending the fuel tank's lines backward. Advantages of the three-wheel design: With an additional tire, three-wheeled models naturally offer better grip compared to two-wheeled motorcycles, significantly improving braking performance in corners.
This kind of motorcycle with two front wheels is called a reverse trike. I've seen it a few times, and the design is particularly interesting. Its front wheels are arranged parallel like a car, so the body doesn't lean when turning, making it much more stable than a regular two-wheeled motorcycle. Someone in my neighborhood rides a Can-Am Spyder, and it doesn't wobble at all on mountain roads. These vehicles are very popular in Europe and America, ideal for long-distance travel with ample storage space and the option to attach side cases. However, they're not cheap—legally imported models in China cost over 200,000 RMB, even pricier than a Harley. Maintenance is also more complicated; front wheel alignment requires a professional shop, which ordinary motorcycle repair shops can't handle.
