Chassis / Suspension

ADVANCED ÖHLINS® SEMI-ACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM: The MT-10 SP is the first production motorcycle to be fitted with the Öhlins’ next generation electronically controlled suspension employing the latest spool valve damping. This state-of-the-art technology provides an even greater range of damping adjustments and a higher degree of response. Riders can choose 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.
DELTABOX ALUMINUM FRAME: The MT-10 SP uses an aluminum Deltabox frame derived from the YZF-R1 superbike to create a lightweight and responsive chassis that is built for agility with its ultra-compact 55.3-inch wheelbase. The frame uses a strength-rigidity balance that was developed specifically for the MT-10 and uses the engine as a stressed member of the frame for optimal cornering performance.
POWERFUL, CONTROLLABLE BRAKES WITH ADVANCED ABS: Developed on racetracks around the world, Yamaha’s advanced Brake Control (BC) System works with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to minimize brake slip under aggressive braking or on less than ideal surfaces. Mated to high-specification braking components including radial-mount, four-piston front calipers, sintered brake pads, large 320mm front discs and 220mm rear disc provide exceptional braking power and control. The MT-10 SP also includes braided steel brake lines fitted as standard for an even higher level of feel at the lever and more resistance to fade under track conditions and extreme temperatures.
LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELS & HIGH-PERFORMANCE TIRES: The MT-10 SP rolls on lightweight five-spoke aluminum wheels for nimble steering and suspension feel. Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 tires—a 120/70ZR17 front and a huge 190/55ZR17 at the rear—are engineered specifically for the MT-10 SP, providing chassis-matched handling and grip.

Electronics

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 QUICK SHIFT SYSTEM (QSS): An advanced up and down Quick Shift System (QSS) is standard on the MT-10 SP. By enabling quick, clutchless shifting both up and down the gear box, this system makes full-on acceleration more exciting, downshifting faster and smoother, with less chassis disruption while changing gears.
FOUR-MODE YAMAHA RIDE CONTROL (YRC): While all electronic rider aids on the MT-10 SP can be adjusted independently, Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) simplifies the process for owners by offering four different selectable riding modes, each with pre-set traction control, SCS, QSS, LIF, EBM and BC system settings to match ride preference.
YAMAHA VARIABLE SPEED LIMITER (YVSL): An additional key technological feature offered on the MT-10 SP is the Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL) which gives the rider the ability to set a top-speed limit for the motorcycle to ensure a rider-selected speed is not unintentionally exceeded.
PREMIUM 4.2-INCH FULL-COLOR TFT DISPLAY: The MT-10 SP comes equipped with a premium full-color 4.2-inch TFT display, featuring a clear, easy to read screen and intuitive function navigation controlled by a scrolling menu switch on the right handlebar and a quick-select mode switch on the left handlebar.
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.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: The MT-10 SP includes a cruise control system powered by the YCC-T. Using the left handlebar switchgear, the rider can easily select or adjust a set speed to ease long-distance touring on the highway, improving rider comfort.

Engine

R1-DERIVED CROSSPLANE CRANKSHAFT ENGINE: The potent 998cc inline four-cylinder engine features the same Crossplane Crankshaft technology developed in Yamaha’s renowned YZF-R1 superbike. The crossplane design nearly eliminates inertial engine torque to provide a direct connection between the throttle and rear wheel for maximum traction and linear torque feeling. Tuned specifically for the needs of the high-performance street rider, the MT- 10 SP engine develops awesome low- and mid-rpm torque with arm-stretching top-end power.
ULTRA-MODERN ENGINE DESIGN: The MT-10 SP’s engine design creates the ultimate high-performing street sportbike. Engine reliability is ensured with strong, lightweight forged pistons and carburized fracture-split connecting rods that move through an extremely rigid, closed-deck cylinder block. The engine’s cylinders are slightly offset to reduce friction losses, with plated bores for excellent heat dissipation and cylinder sealing. The rocker-arm valve actuation utilizes the lever ratio of each rocker arm to allow for larger valve lifts while using lower camshaft lobes and reduced spring pressure, further boosting power and efficiency.
COMPACT STACKED TRANSMISSION: The six-speed transmission “stacks” the crankshaft, input and output shafts in a triangular layout to centralize mass and keep the engine shorter front-to-back, with optimal engine placement in the frame for outstanding handling.
INTAKE SYSTEM TUNED FOR SOUND & PERFORMANCE: To both enhance sound and increase efficiency, the MT-10 SP’s air box is designed with three differing-length intake ducts tuned to resonate harmoniously at varying engine speeds to create a unique intake roar that enhances the overall riding experience. Enlarged ducts on either side of the fuel tank increase intake efficiency while adding to the purposeful, aggressive look.
HIGH-CAPACITY COOLING SYSTEM: A large curved radiator keeps engine heat in check while a compact air-cooled oil cooler ensures stable oil temperatures in any condition. Simplified pipe and hose routing minimizes the need for additional parts and saves weight.
ADVANCED CLUTCH: Yamaha’s assist and slipper clutch is used to give the rider smoother, more confident downshifts when entering corners aggressively as well as a lighter pull effort at the lever, all while easily handling the torque of the MT-10 SP’s high-output, inline-four motor.

Other Features

HIGH-PERFORMANCE FULL LED LIGHTING: Twin-eye mono-focus LED headlights and LED position lights situated above the headlights combine with a compact nose assembly to minimize overhang and lend a refined, dominant style. Separate high and low beam units provide excellent illumination and project a powerful, even beam with softer light at the edges. There are also compact LED tail lights and turn signals.
AGGRESSIVE MT STYLING: Next-generation MT continues the reputation for being the most distinctive and aggressively styled motorcycles in their category, with a stripped-down look achieved by removing unnecessary bodywork elements, sharpening the nose assembly and focusing attention on the pure mechanical beauty of the muscular engine and compact frame.
EXCLUSIVE SP SPECIFICATION: In addition to the striking and exclusive Liquid Metal/Raven color scheme, the MT-10 SP also includes additional premium touches to distinguish it as the ultimate ‘Master of Torque’, including a striking polished aluminum swingarm, exclusive color-matched lower fairing and braided steel brake lines fitted as standard.
