Big single
Powering the new MT-03 is a high-torque, 660cc single-cylinder engine based closely on the highlyacclaimed XT660 powerplant. With its high levels of low to mid-range torque, this liquid-cooled engine has
already established a strong reputation with XT660 owners, and is ideally suited as the base engine for the
MT-03.
Up-swept muffler
The MT-03 is a uniquely styled motorcycle, as emphasised by the up-swept muffler. From the rear, the
system looks like dual mufflers, but they are in fact connected, and each one is protected by a resin shield
for passenger comfort. This stylish exhaust underlines the bike's solid MT heritage, and gives it a distinctive
and attractive rear end.
Tubular steel frame
The MT-03's compact and minimalist frame is made from high-tensile steel tubing, and has been designed to
give optimal rigidity for responsive handling and excellent rider feedback. This extremely strong design
utilises the 660cc engine as a stressed member, for extra solidity.
Lateral rear suspension
The MT-03 has lateral rear suspension, similar to the one first seen on the MT-01 concept bike. This design
has the shock mounted almost horizontally on the right side of the bike, close to the engine. This makes the
chassis slimmer around the mid-section and concentrates mass around the centre of gravity for better
handling.
Five-spoke wheels
The MT-03 runs with newly-designed 5-spoke, 17 inch wheels, and their low weight ensures that the front
and rear suspension work efficiently. At the front, a 120/70-17 tyre grips the road, while an extra-wide
160/60-17 rear tyre delivers high levels of traction for strong back wheel drive force.
Forward positioning
The MT-03 is designed to offer forward mass, where the rider sits closer to the handlebars for an idealised
weight distribution and enhanced handling. This is accentuated by the supermoto-style forward riding
position.
