2026 Yamaha MT-10 SP

2026 Yamaha MT-10 SP

The highest specification Master of Torque is here. Once you experience the MT-10 SP's total performance, you'll know you've truly entered the Dark Side.

Features may include:

• High-Torque 998cc CP4 Engine

The MT-10 SP is equipped with a refined version of the 998cc liquid-cooled CP4 crossplane engine derived from the race-ready YZF-R1 powerplant. Providing a linear, torque-rich delivery, this is the most potent and technologically advanced engine ever seen on a Yamaha Hyper Naked motorcycle. Fuel injection settings are optimized, and along with the intake and exhaust system design, lend the MT-10 SP a torquey, street-focused engine character.

• Acoustic Amplifier Grilles

To further enhance the crossplane CP4 engine's distinctive soundtrack, the air box has three differing-length intake ducts tuned to resonate harmoniously at varying engine speeds to create a unique intake roar that enhances the riding experience. Sound is further heightened by Acoustic Amplifier Grilles positioned on the front left and right of the fuel tank, transmitting this tuned induction soundtrack directly to the rider, adding to the thrill when opening the throttle.

• Advanced Ohlins® Semi-Active Suspension System

State-of-the-art Ohlins® electronically controlled suspension provides riders the choice between three semi-active damping modes (A-1, A-2, A-3), as well as three manual setting modes (M-1, M-2, M-3). When an automatic mode is selected the system adjusts rebound and compression damping continuously to match the current running conditions, ensuring the most appropriate settings are always in play. Manual modes allow precise electronic adjustment of compression and rebound damping for both the front fork and rear shock.

• Six-Axis IMU with Rider Aids

The MT-10 SP provides cutting-edge technological advancement with Yamaha's state-of-the-art six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit. Originally developed for the YZF-R1, the IMU on the MT-10 SP has evolved into a smaller and lighter unit, featuring two sensors that measure three-axis angular velocity and three-axis acceleration, enabling a suite of rider aids including lean-sensitive traction control, a Slide Control System (SCS), a front wheel Lift Control System (LIF), Engine Brake Management (EBM) and a Brake Control (BC) System with lean-sensitive ABS.

• Advanced Ride-By-Wire Throttle with APSG

Advanced Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system instantly calculates ideal throttle valve opening based on movement detected at the throttle grip. The MT-10 SP also features an Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (APSG) which employs a spring, slider and gear mechanism to produce a natural throttle feel. The rider can also pre-select throttle response characteristics by using the PWR (Power delivery mode) switch to choose between four different power modes.

• Exclusive SP Styling

Along with its stripped-down, aggressive look, the MT-10 SP adds an air of exclusivity with additional premium styling details and distinctive Liquid Metal/Raven color scheme signifying its status at the top of the Hyper Naked range. The MT-10 SP also boasts an attractive polished swingarm and exclusive color-matched lower fairing for a more purposeful, race-bred look.

What makes the 2024 Yamaha MT 10 SP distinctive is its precision engineering paired with elite suspension tuning from Öhlins. The flagship performance comes across in every ride with a Liquid-cooled DOHC Inline 4-cylinder engine displacing 998 cc, delivering 16 valves and a compression ratio of 12.0:1. A six-speed transmission with a multiplate wet clutch and assist keeps throttle response crisp, while the final drive is a reliable chain. This machine sits on 17-inch aluminum wheels with Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 tires sized 120/70 ZR17 at the front and 190/55 ZR17 at the rear, giving it a confident footprint on both street and track.

The MT 10 SP blends capability and control through its advanced chassis. Öhlins electronically controlled suspension provides fully adjustable front forks and a rear shock with selectable damping, giving 4.7-inch travel at both ends for composed handling across varied surfaces. The front braking system uses a 320 mm Brembo setup with dual hydraulic discs, while the rear employs a hydraulic disc for balanced stopping power. Riders benefit from a digital instrument cluster with a full suite of trip and tachometer readouts, a fuel gauge, and a shift light that’s adjustable to match the riding pace. The bike’s weight is listed as wet 472 pounds, with a wheelbase of 55.3 inches and a seat height of 32.9 inches, which together support a precise, rider-focused stance.

Designed to thrive from urban routes to canyon roads, this machine emphasizes premium construction and performance-minded materials. Its aluminum frame and lightweight plastics combine to deliver a disciplined ride with strong steering input and nimble response. The MT 10 SP also features a rear adjustable spring preload and front adjustable fork preload for customizability, plus a practical fuel tank capacity of 4.5 gallons to keep you on the road longer.
