The XV950 Bolt uses a 942cc air-cooled V-twin with belt drive and bobber-style styling. It is more compact and lighter than the XVS cruisers.
The Yamaha XV950 (sold as the Yamaha Bolt in North America) is a bobber-inspired cruiser introduced in 2013. Its air-cooled 942cc V-twin delivers 54 hp through a five-speed gearbox with belt final drive. The XV950 stands out for its clean, minimalist lines: no windscreen, a narrow tail section and a round headlight, features that directly reference American bobber tradition. The 2014 Racer variant added a small fairing and clip-on bars for a café racer look.
The XV950 targets riders who want an authentic, stylish cruiser without the bulk of a large V-twin. Its low 690 mm seat height is accessible, but the torque delivery means it is not ideal for absolute beginners. It performs best in urban traffic and on regional roads. Key rivals include the Harley-Davidson Iron 883 and the Honda CMX1100 Rebel.
