Street or track, the latest YZF-R1 delivers even higher levels of controllable performance.In its WSB debut season the

crossplane-crank

R1 won the World Championship against the very best from Europe and Japan. And our intensive

WSB and MotoGP race programmes have enabled Yamaha’s designers to create an even more exhilarating R1.

An all-new 6-mode adjustable Traction Control System elevates rider confidence and

allows you to unleash the full potential of the crossplane crankshaft engine.

So wherever you go, the latest R1 is ready to excite you with its awesome cornering performance and take

the supersport riding experience to a new level.

 

 

6-mode Traction Control System (TCS)

By instantaneously adjusting throttle opening, fuel injection volume and ignition timing when rear wheel spin occurs, the new switchable

6-mode TCS reinforces your trust in the R1’s cornering potential – and allows the rider to extract optimum levels of traction and

controllability in different surface and weather conditions.

 

 

MotoGP-inspired design

Yamaha’s total commitment to racing has been the lifeblood of the company for over 50 years. Equipped with a short-wheelbase

Deltabox chassis, crossplane-crankshaft engine and high-tech electronic control systems, the breathtaking R1 is the embodiment

of everything that we have learnt in MotoGP and WSB.

  

Crossplane crankshaft

The R1 engine stands head and shoulders above the crowd thanks to its special crossplane crankshaft, which gives an asymmetric firing interval.

Developed from our YZR-M1 MotoGP racer, this class-leading design produces a more linear torque output, allowing the rider to find more

traction and lay down the high levels of power more effectively.

 

Compact short-wheelbase Deltabox chassis

The compact short-wheelbase Deltabox frame has been constructed using a range of gravity

 die-cast, CF die-cast and extruded aluminium components in order to achieve an idealised

 balance of rigidity. This sophisticated formula gives the R1 rider remarkable surface feedback

 for a clear performance advantage on the road and track.

Aerodynamic front cowl

For improved aerodynamics the latest R1 is equipped with a new front cowl design with a slightly higher nose, while the menacing-looking

‘eyes’ have been restyled to give even more presence. New LED position lamps benefit from a reflective finish along the lower edge

of the eyes to give the R1 a more intense and forceful appearance.

YCC-I and YCC-T

The R1 is equipped with one of the industry's most advanced intake systems. Its YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake)

system features electronically-controlled variable-length funnels which work in association with the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T)

to deliver super-efficient combustion and a smooth and linear power output over a wide rev range.
