The new Yamaha MT-09 has won a Red Dot Design Award for 2024, one of two bikes from the Japanese manufacturer to win one of the prestigious design awards this year.
The MT-09 entered its fourth generation for 2024, with a redesign of various aesthetic pieces such as the front screen, fuel tank, and tail section, mostly with a redirection back towards something like the 2020 MT-09 after the cyclops styling of the 2021 version proved somewhat unpopular. Additionally, the redesign of the fuel tank includes some acoustic ducting to improve the bike’s sound, even if the 890cc CP3 engine remains unchanged. Of course, the new tank has ergonomic impacts, too, with the intention being to create a freer riding position.
