Honda CV-Matic: 2010 Cub-style Scooter Automatic Transmission

Honda CV-Matic Transmission Cut-Out

Honda CV-Matic Air Flow

If Yamaha has come with YCAT, Honda also has developed its own next generation compact automatic transmission named CV-Matic.
Compact automatic transmission will get use to final drive using chain and sprocket like normal moped. This mean that you have modify your AT bike to be torquey (more pickup) or speedy just by changing the ratio of the front and rear sprocket.
The airflow of the CV-Matic is important to keep the heat away from the drive belt for good normal operating temperature.
There are many name for this kind of transmission using belt drive namely Ultra V-Matic by Honda, Super CVT by Suzuki or Xtronic by Nissan (for car usage) which actually refer to the same basic concept of Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) using belt driven shaft fitted with cone shaped wheel. There’s a great article for you to read at HowStuffWorks about CVT here: http://www.howstuffworks.com/cvt.htm
Honda CV-Matic will only be available on 2010, but Yamaha YCAT already teased in Yamaha Motor Vietnam in Yamaha LEXAM.

Yamaha LEXAM First Pictures at AutoPRO

Yamaha LEXAM meter is quite radical

Yamaha LEXAM headlight also get a radical styling and resemble Yamaha Lagenda ZR a bit

MotoMalaya’s reader Vietnam has given me a link to a series of images of Yamaha LEXAM YCAT moter (moped + scooter?). Thanks.
I’m not able to read in Vietnamese (I tried to use Google Translate), so I can’t give you details about the story on AutoPRO.
From my POI, the shot here is a spy-shot for the Yamaha LEXAM since the bike has not being given any sticker or decals on its body. Design-wise, this bike very radical for Asean market, but we in Asean always looking for something new and out-of-the-ordinary things, and this bike suites the statement well.
