2026 Yamaha YZF-R1

SUPERBIKE ICON

Stacked with cutting-edge technology gleaned directly from MotoGP and Superbike competition, the YZF-R1 features a powerful 998cc crossplane CP4 engine, refined Deltabox frame, MotoGP®-inspired carbon fiber winglets and a comprehensive electronics package for the ultimate in performance and control. Premium Brembo® front brakes and a highly refined KYB® suspension further enhance its track-focused capability. It all comes wrapped in sleek, distinctive R-series styling for an aggressive look to match its advanced performance.

Features may include:

  • MotoGP®-Inspired Winglets

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

  • Premium Brembo® Brakes

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

  • High-Spec KYB® Front Suspension

The exceptional KYB® front fork is designed to offer 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.

  • MotoGP®-Derived Crossplane Crankshaft Engine

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.

  • Digital Superbike Technology

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."
