Yamaha's legendary 890cc DOHC liquid-cooled CP3 engine receives unique ECU tune and optimized gear ratio to provide track-worthy Supersport performance with a broad, torquey power delivery that's easy to manage and accessible for the street.

With its advanced Deltabox gravity-cast frame that's the lightest aluminum frame ever offered on a Yamaha Supersport, a new high-spec fully adjustable KYB® suspension and nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the Yamaha YZF-R9 delivers light, agile Supersport handling that inspires confidence for a wide range of riders and experience levels.

Premium Brembo® Stylema monoblock front brake calipers combine with a Brembo® radial master cylinder, large 320mm dual front discs, stainless steel brake lines and aggressive pad compounds to offer Supersport-level braking performance with exceptional power and feel.

An advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is based on the proven performance of the flagship YZF-R1 Superbike. Data collected from the IMU and wheel speed sensors enable a high-tech suite of rider aids including a nine-mode Traction Control System (TCS), three-mode Slide Control System (SCS), three-mode Lift Control System (LIF) and a Brake Control System (BC). 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.

With sharp, distinctive R-Series styling including its signature M-shaped front duct and tail wing, combining with new generation design cues like angled LED position lighting and advanced aerodynamics including functional MotoGP®-inspired front winglets, the revolutionary new YZF-R9 is instantly recognizable as the next evolution of Yamaha's iconic R-Series.
