Technical Features
The throttle system is assisted by fly by wire Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) which ensures immediate response in all terrains. Slipper-type clutch system eases shifting gears and braking. The bike has advanced open-class handling and a powerful inline four-cylinder engine. Standard tool kit can be stored under passenger seat. Over the years, despite retaining its sharp look, the R1 has undergone technical upgradations to keep pace with the times. The refurbished Deltabox V frame, revised forks and a 20mm longer swingarm facilitate superb handling in the R1. Shapes of the air intake area and the rear outlet area where the air is scooped out are optimized to better radiator efficiency.
