SPEED OF DARKNESS.
A new burst of Darkness is coming. Once you experience the MT‑10 SP's total performance, you'll know you've truly entered the Dark Side.
ADVANCED ÖHLINS® SEMI-ACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The MT-10 SP is the first production motorcycle to be fitted with the Öhlins’ next generation electronically controlled suspension employing the latest spool valve damping. This state-of-the-art technology provides an even greater range of damping adjustments and a higher degree of response. Riders can choose between three semi-active damping modes (A-1, A-2, A-3), as well as three manual setting modes (M-1, M-2, M-3). When an automatic mode is selected the system adjusts rebound and compression damping continuously to match the current running conditions, ensuring the most appropriate settings are always in play. Manual modes allow precise electronic adjustment of compression and rebound damping for both the front fork and rear shock.
DELTABOX ALUMINUM FRAME
The MT-10 SP uses an aluminum Deltabox frame derived from the YZF-R1 superbike to create a lightweight and responsive chassis that is built for agility with its ultra-compact 55.3-inch wheelbase. The frame uses a strength-rigidity balance that was developed specifically for the MT-10 and uses the engine as a stressed member of the frame for optimal cornering performance.
POWERFUL, CONTROLLABLE BRAKES WITH ADVANCED ABS
Developed on racetracks around the world, Yamaha’s advanced Brake Control (BC) System works with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to minimize brake slip under aggressive braking or on less than ideal surfaces. Mated to high-specification braking components including radial-mount, four-piston front calipers, sintered brake pads, large 320mm front discs and 220mm rear disc provide exceptional braking power and control. The MT-10 SP also includes braided steel brake lines fitted as standard for an even higher level of feel at the lever and more resistance to fade under track conditions and extreme temperatures.
SIX-AXIS IMU WITH RIDER AIDS
The MT-10 SP provides cutting-edge technological advancement with Yamaha’s state-of-the-art six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit. Originally developed for the YZF-R1, the IMU on the MT-10 SP has evolved into a smaller and lighter unit, featuring two sensors that measure three-axis angular velocity and three-axis acceleration, enabling a suite of rider aids including lean sensitive traction control, a Slide Control System (SCS), a front wheel Lift Control System (LIF), Engine Brake Management (EBM) and a Brake Control (BC) System with lean sensitive ABS.
R1-DERIVED CROSSPLANE CRANKSHAFT ENGINE
The potent 998cc inline four-cylinder engine features the same Crossplane Crankshaft technology developed in Yamaha’s renowned YZF-R1 superbike. The crossplane design nearly eliminates inertial engine torque to provide a direct connection between the throttle and rear wheel for maximum traction and linear torque feeling. Tuned specifically for the needs of the high-performance street rider, the MT- 10 SP engine develops awesome low- and mid-rpm torque with arm-stretching top-end power.
ULTRA-MODERN ENGINE DESIGN
The MT-10 SP's engine design creates the ultimate high-performing street sportbike. Engine reliability is ensured with strong, lightweight forged pistons and carburized fracture-split connecting rods that move through an extremely rigid, closed-deck cylinder block. The engine’s cylinders are slightly offset to reduce friction losses, with plated bores for excellent heat dissipation and cylinder sealing. The rocker-arm valve actuation utilizes the lever ratio of each rocker arm to allow for larger valve lifts while using lower camshaft lobes and reduced spring pressure, further boosting power and efficiency.
