2026 Yamaha YZF-R1M

2026 Yamaha YZF-R1M

Yamaha's highest specification Supersport, the 2026 YZF-R1M comes adorned in striking carbon fiber bodywork including MotoGP®-inspired winglets, distinctive R1M styling and an engraved serial number badge to further highlight its exclusivity. Taking all the explosive performance and capability of the YZF-R1 to an even higher level, the R1M's advanced Öhlins® Electronic Racing Suspension works with a dedicated Suspension Control Unit to rapidly adjust front and rear damping in real time, whether braking, cornering or accelerating.

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.

• MotoGP®-Derived Crossplane Crankshaft Engine

The YZF-R1M'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.

• Dynamic Öhlins® Electronic Racing Suspension

The YZF-R1M utilizes the advanced Öhlins® ERS system, featuring the NPX gas-charged front fork. A dedicated suspension control unit rapidly adjusts the front and rear damping in real time for optimum suspension performance whether braking, cornering or accelerating.

• Digital Superbike Technology

The YZF-R1M 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." The R1M also features a Communication Control Unit (CCU) as standard enabling a GPS-tracked lap timer, data recorder from the IMU, ECU and GPS, and mobile phone/tablet YRC adjustability.

• Sharp Styling with Unique R1M Features

The YZF-R1 features beautifully integrated bodywork and sleek, stylish lines which create an unmistakably aggressive, aerodynamic profile. R1M riders are treated to even higher levels of fit and finish thanks to full carbon-fiber bodywork, including a carbon windscreen fairing, side fairings, front fender and tail section, matched to a polished aluminum swingarm and topped with a unique serial-numbered YZF-R1M badge on top of the airbox cover.

• 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.
