Features
The MotoGP-style aerodynamic winglets fitted to the top of the main fairing were designed and developed from technical feedback from the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP team. Made from carbon fibre to add as little weight as possible while ensuring strength and rigidity, the winglets not only generate downforce but also offer an increased feeling of stability front-end feedback.
New 43 mm KYB inverted front forks have been fully re-designed and now feature individual adjusters for rebound and compression damping on the left and right fork tube, with two-way adjustment. Each fork leg now features a base valve designed to optimise pressure in the cylinder by limiting or entirely preventing oil from flowing into the bottom of the fork resulting in an improved damping response enhanced contact feeling and better all-round stability.
Responsive and high performing the new front braking system featuring Brembo master cylinder and Stylema calipers take the R1 RACE's stopping power to the next level. The radial master cylinder features a piston which moves in a direction parallel to the brake level travel, applying pressure in a linear manner as the rider pulls the lever, while the lightweight Stylema calipers are designed to allow an optimised air flow for efficient cooling reducing brake fade on track.
An all-new seat cover material with new texture offers greater grip while still allowing the rider to shift their weight easily. In cornering this helps the rider feel more connected to their R1 and adds to the renowned feeling of stability from the chassis.
A key feature of the R1's 4-cylinder 998cc engine is the crossplane crankshaft with its uneven firing sequence that delivers strong linear torque. Featuring a high efficiency intake system along with specially designed finger-follower rocker arms, this race-developed engine delivers remarkable performance throughout the rev range.
