To mark the 25th Anniversary of the iconic R1, Yamaha, through their GYTR PRO Shop, will offer customers the unique opportunity to experience world championship-winning performance courtesy of a range of Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing (GYTR®) PRO performance parts developed alongside Yamaha's World Superbike and Endurance World Championship race programs.
Designed by the same engineers at Yamaha Motor Research & Development Europe (YMRE) responsible for the development of the World Championship-winning R1 WorldSBK machine, the range of GYTR PRO performance parts makes WorldSBK performance available to Yamaha customers for the first time.
The range of GYTR PRO performance parts for the R1 includes an ultra-strong and lightweight carbon rear subframe designed to accommodate a modified fuel tank with a lower centre of gravity and the Magneti Marelli ECU. Öhlins FGR front forks and a TTX rear shock with a pneumatic preload adjuster offer more predictable handling and the same level of suspension adjustment available to Yamaha's professional road racers. An underslung swingarm, developed specifically for Yamaha's WorldSBK race program, improves maximum lean angle and rear grip, while Brembo braking components front and rear provide the ultimate stopping power.
