Yamaha used EICMA 2026 to showcase a range of new developments reflecting changing rider expectations and the transformation of the two-wheel market. ABC Mundial attended the exhibition and covered remarks by Olivier Prévost, President and CEO of Yamaha Motor Europe.

During his presentation, Prévost noted that customer expectations and market conditions are changing, and that Yamaha aims to play an active role in leading that transformation. The available transcript of his remarks is partial, so no additional direct quotations are included.

Among the product highlights are the RW700, powered by the 689cc CP2 engine and equipped with Y-AMT transmission, and the RW350, featuring a 327cc single-cylinder engine. Both belong to an adventure-oriented line of proposals.

The company also presented the NMAX E and XENTER E electric scooters, equipped with 3.5 kWh batteries. Their announced ranges under the WMTC test cycle are 104 and 108 kilometres, respectively.

The presentation reflects Yamaha’s strategy of expanding its portfolio across different segments, combining new riding experiences with electric alternatives for urban mobility.
