Yamaha Nouvo also known as Yamaha Nouvo S in Malaysia, Yamaha Nouvo RC in Vietnam, Yamaha Nouvo MX in Thailand and Yamaha Nouvo Z in Indonesia is a small CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) underbone bodied motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha Motor Company. Yamaha engineers specially developed the frame with the same or higher level of rigidity as a moped bike in order to achieve a moped-like ride and good handling performance but also have the same level of comfort as a scooter.
Powered by a new air-cooled 4-stroke, SOHC 2-valve single-cylinder engine which is characterized by its strong torque in the mid-to low-speed range, the Nouvo is designed and engineered by Yamaha to answer the needs of the ASEAN market in all aspects.
Main features

These performance specs ensure a comfortable ride and lively performance in stop-and-go urban traffic conditions.
- The Nouvo uses Mikuni BS25/1 type carburetor to ensure good response, performance and combustion efficiency of the engine.
- 16-inch wheels front and rear - To provide good running performance even on poor road surfaces, this fact is based on extensive studies of conditions of use in the ASEAN region by Yamaha R&D team.
