HIGHLIGHTS:

POWERFUL 890CC THREE-CYLINDER ENGINE

ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SUITE
An advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is based on the proven performance of the flagship YZF-R1 Superbike.

Levels of intervention can be adjusted to preference and each of these systems can also be turned off providing the ultimate versatility and control in a variety weather and surface conditions.
