The next evolution MT-10 SP is ready to introduce you to the ultimate riding experience. It’s updated CP4 EU5 engine is the most powerful in the Hyper Naked line-up. And the radical new semi-active electronic suspension and high-tech rider aids represent the dawn of a thrilling new era in total ride-by-wire controllability.
Speed Of Darkness
This brutal and iconic naked sport bike is the first motorcycle in the world to be fitted with Öhlins’ all-new 6-mode electronically controlled spool valve suspension. In semi-active mode the damping force is automatically adjusted to suit riding conditions, giving the highest degree of chassis precision when braking, accelerating and cornering.
To enable you to fully exploit the 998cc engine’s increased power and torque there’s a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that controls traction, slides, wheelies, engine braking and brake power. Exclusive MT-10 SP equipment includes a 3-piece lower cowl and braided brake hoses – and with its dynamic race-inspired Icon Performance colour and premium finish, the MT-10 SP has it all.
Gen-2 Öhlins Electronic Suspension
The next evolution MT-10 SP is the first motorcycle in the world to be equipped with the radical new 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.
3-piece belly cowl
Another of the exclusive features on the new MT-10 SP 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.
Braided Brake Hoses
High performance bikes need high performance brakes, and the radial mount front calipers and rear caliper are equipped with braided brake hoses that retain their feel and effectiveness under the most extreme pressures.
Dedicated Icon Performance colour
The MT-10 SP’s unique and class-leading specification is highlighted by the exclusive Icon Performance colour that is inspired by the design seen on the race-bred R1M track bike.
4.2’’ TFT Meter with Ride Mode selection
The new 4.2-inch full-colour TFT display gives a clear overview of all the information you need for a ride. The Menu switch on the right handlebar enables you to move quickly between different screens – and the Mode/Select switch on the left handlebar changes the settings on the electronic rider aids individually – or you can switch all settings at once by using the 4-mode YRC.
Brembo Radial master cylinder
With its R1 derived system featuring dual floating 320 mm discs and 4-piston radial mounted calipers, the MT-10 is equipped with the most sophisticated braking package fitted to any production Yamaha. The new model benefits from a Brembo radial front brake master cylinder for even more accurate feel and controllability, giving you the ultimate stopping performance.
Cruise Control and Speed Limiter
Despite the MT-10 SP’s staggering performance there will be times when you want to chill out and enjoy the scenery. Once you’re travelling above 31Mph it’s easy to activate the Cruise Control and simply enjoy the ride. It’s also a great way to make sure that you comply with speed limits.
There is also a Variable Speed limiter(YVSL) which allows you to choose your preferred top speed which is set via the Mode/Select switch
998cc EU5 CP4 engine
Nothing compares to the more powerful 998cc EU5 CP4 engine found in the MT-10SP The latest bike has a tuned intake system with larger intake ducts and tank-mounted Acoustic Amplifier Grilles that emit a deep roar for a spine-tingling experience as you open the throttle, and its crossplane technology design gives it a unique uneven firing sequence that delivers sensational torque for remarkable acceleration.
APSG Throttle with selectable PWR-modes
Yamaha’s sophisticated Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (APSG) is the latest ride-by-wire system that gives you the most natural and efficient feeling throttle for the highest degree of control. Throttle response can be adjusted with the PWR system which gives you a selection of four power delivery modes, from a soft response for wet surfaces, through to aggressive track day riding.
Titanium exhaust system
As soon as you press the starter button you’ll hear and feel the unique sound emitted by the specially tuned titanium muffler and downpipes. Together with the tuned intake system, it uses the crossplane engine’s uneven firing sequence to make the most unique and stirring exhaust note that sounds like no other bike!
Up and Down Quick Shift System
For faster and more efficient acceleration the MT-10 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.
6-Axis IMU with full rider aids suite
Hidden inside a little black box is a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that senses pitch, roll and yaw, as well as forward/backward, up/down and left/right acceleration. The ECU then uses this data to activate the high-tech rider aids package, including traction control, Slide Control (SCS) wheelie control (LIF) engine braking (EBM) and brake control (BC) that ensure the ultimate setup on every ride.
