R HISTORY. YOUR FUTURE. WE R1.

 

Featuring next generation R Series styling, sophisticated electronic control, enhanced braking and suspension performance, and a refined crossplane engine.

 

 

• MotoGP®-Derived Crossplane Crankshaft Engine

 

The 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine features Yamaha's exclusive crossplane crankshaft technology derived from the YZR-M1 MotoGP® machine. Every aspect of this unique engine is built to thrill, and for 2020, updates include a new cylinder head, intake system, fuel injectors and airbox.

 

• Digital Superbike Technology

 

For 2020, the R1® features a new cable-less 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.' New electronic features provide even greater adjustability and control, too.

 

• Upgraded Brakes and Tires

 

The YZF-R1® utilizes track-focused braking hardware, featuring potent 4-piston radial-mounted front calipers, stainless steel front lines, big 320mm rotors with new high-friction pads, and an all-new compact ABS unit. New Bridgestone® RS11 tires ensure true racetrack-ready traction with balanced road feel and handling.

 

• Sharp New Styling

 

The 2020 YZF-R1 features sleek new bodywork to create an even more aerodynamic profile, with an integrated and harmonious design.

 

• Legendary R-Series Handling

 

Built around Yamaha's refined Deltabox® aluminum frame technology and mounting high-spec, fully-adjustable suspension, the YZF-R1 exemplifies over 20 years of chassis technology developed on racetracks around the world.
