Another of the exclusive features on the MT-10SP is a lightweight 3-piece belly cowl that gives the bike a more refined and aggressive sports look and directs air at the oil cooler for consistent operating temperatures.
For faster and more efficient acceleration the MT-10SP is fitted with a Quick Shift System (QSS) as standard. This electronic system enables you to perform full throttle clutchless upshifts, as well as smoother and more controlled clutchless downshifts that – along with the A&S clutch – help to maintain chassis stability when decelerating.
For more relaxed and enjoyable riding the MT-10 comes equipped with a cruise control system. A switch on the left handlebar turns the cruise control on or off. Featuring a Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL), giving the rider the ability to set a top speed limit to suit various situations, this ensures that public road speed limits are not accidentally exceeded.
Nothing can match the thrill of the MT-10SP’s powerful 998cc CP4 engine. Its crossplane technology design gives a unique uneven firing sequence that delivers sensational torque for remarkable acceleration – a tuned intake system with larger intake ducts and tank-mounted Acoustic Amplifier Grilles emit a deep roar for a spine-tingling experience as you open the throttle.
The MT-10SP is the first motorcycle in the world to be equipped with the radical Öhlins electronically controlled spool valve suspension. Offering a much wider range of more precisely controlled settings, this pioneering system gives a choice of three semi-active and three manual modes that provide a higher degree of controllability for the most thrilling high performance riding experience.
With its R1 derived system featuring dual floating 320mm discs and 4-piston radial mounted calipers, the MT-10SP is equipped with the most sophisticated braking package fitted to any production Yamaha. The model benefits from a Brembo radial front brake master cylinder for even more accurate feel and controllability, giving you the ultimate stopping performance.
