Yamaha MT-10 SP 2022

The new Yamaha MT-10 SP for 2022 is launched.

Ultimate riding experience

One of the key attractions of Yamaha’s MT range is that it offers the widest range of Hyper Naked models, giving riders with different experience levels, requirements and budgets the chance to choose the right bike. Finished in exclusive colours and graphics, the SP models represent the pinnacle of machine development, and feature the most sophisticated specifications available.

Öhlins semi-active suspension system

The new MT-10 SP is designed for riders who want the most exclusive Hyper Naked with the very highest chassis technology ever fitted to a production model. This machine is the first motorcycle in the world to be equipped with Öhlins’ very latest electronically controlled suspension system at the front and rear.

Although the Yamaha R1M features a similar system, the MT-10 SP has been fitted with the next generation of the Öhlins electronically controlled suspension system that uses new spool valve damping technology.

This state-of-the-art technology gives a greater range of damping adjustments and gives a higher degree of response. The rider can make suspension changes by accessing the ERS menu in the TRC settings. The ERS menu offers a choice of three semi-active damping modes (A-1, A-2 & A-3) as well as three manual settings (M-1, M-2 & M-3).

When any of the automatic modes are selected the system adjusts the rebound and compression damping to match the current running conditions, and changes are constantly made to ensure that the most appropriate settings are always in play.

Manual mode allows precise electronic adjustment of compression and rebound damping for both the front fork and rear shock. Managed through the YRC menu the suspension can be tailored to suit the exact rider style or riding environment required.

Semi-active damping modes

A-1 is a sporty mode that is designed to give confidence and feedback on twisties and secondary roads, with a high degree of front and rear feel, and good chassis stability during acceleration and braking.

A-2 is best suited to sporty riding on a typical highway.

A-3 is designed for touring conditions with an emphasis on comfort and stability.

Three-piece belly pan

The new MT-10 SP is also equipped with an exclusive three-piece belly pan that gives a more aggressive race-bred look to this top of the range flagship model and additionally protects the oil cooler.

Braided brake hoses

Braided brake hoses are fitted as standard, giving the rider a high level of feel at the lever, and offering a higher level of performance in track riding events where intensive use of the brakes results in extremely high temperatures.

Exclusive colours and graphics

Every SP model has exclusive colours and graphics, and the new MT-10 SP has an Icon Performance finish that is inspired by the scheme used on the class-leading R1M Supersport track and race bike.
