Featuring iconic R-Series styling, sophisticated electronic controls, Superbike braking and suspension performance, and the world-renowned crossplane CP4 engine.

Features may include:

Developed through extensive simulator and on-track testing, new MotoGP®-inspired carbon fiber winglets create additional downforce for exceptional chassis stability and added front-end feel when braking or cornering.

New premium Brembo® Stylema monobloc front brake calipers are paired with a new Brembo® master cylinder to offer outstanding braking power and exceptional feel.

The YZF-R1 features a cableless ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T®) system that transforms the rider's inputs into motion, with a full suite of IMU-powered electronic rider aids that bring new meaning to the term "rider confidence."

A new KYB® front fork is fully redesigned offering excellent response, road feel and chassis stability. Individual adjusters on the right and left fork tubes offer a full range of adjustability including preload, high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustments for precise damping control.

The YZF-R1's 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine features Yamaha's exclusive crossplane crankshaft technology derived from the YZR-M1 MotoGP® race bike. By equalizing inertial forces at the crankshaft, the CP4 motor delivers a direct feeling of linear torque, giving the rider the ultimate connection between throttle grip and the rear wheel.
