This brutal and iconic naked sport bike is the first motorcycle in the world to be fitted with Öhlins’ 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 power and torque there’s a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that controls traction, slides, wheelies, engine braking and brake power. Exclusive MT-10SP equipment includes a 3-piece lower cowl and braided brake hoses – and with it's dynamic race-inspired Icon Performance colour and premium finish, the MT-10SP has it all.
KEY FEATURES
High-Torque 998cc CP4 Engine
The MT-10 SP is equipped with a refined version of the 998cc liquid-cooled CP4 crossplane engine derived from the race-ready YZF-R1 powerplant. Providing a linear, torque-rich delivery, this is the most potent and technologically advanced engine ever seen on a Yamaha Hyper Naked motorcycle. Fuel injection settings are optimized, and along with the intake and exhaust system design, lend the MT-10 SP a torquey, street-focused engine character.
Acoustic Amplifier Grilles
To further enhance the crossplane CP4 engine's distinctive soundtrack, the air box has three differing-length intake ducts tuned to resonate harmoniously at varying engine speeds to create a unique intake roar that enhances the riding experience. Sound is further heightened by Acoustic Amplifier Grilles positioned on the front left and right of the fuel tank, transmitting this tuned induction soundtrack directly to the rider, adding to the thrill when opening the throttle.
Advanced Öhlins® Semi-Active Suspension System
State-of-the-art Öhlins® electronically controlled suspension provides riders the choice 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.
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-RI, 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 (EM) and a Brake Control (BC) System with lean-sensitive ABS.
Advanced Ride-By-Wire Throttle with APSG
Advanced Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system instantly calculates ideal throttle valve opening based on movement detected at the throttle grip. The MT-10 SP also features an Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (APSG) which employs a spring, slider and gear mechanism to produce a natural throttle feel. The rider can also pre-select throttle response characteristics by using the PWR (Power delivery mode) switch to choose between four different power modes.
Exclusive SP Styling
Along with it's stripped-down, aggressive look, the MT-10 SP adds an air of exclusivity with additional premium styling details and distinctive LiquidMetal/Raven color scheme signifying it's status at the top of the Hyper Naked range. The MT-10 SP also boasts an attractive polished swingarm and exclusive color-matched lower fairing for a more purposeful, race-bred look.
Cruise Control & Speed Limiter
The MT-10 SP includes a cruise control system powered by the YCC-T. Using the left handlebar switchgear, the rider can easily select or adjust a set speed to ease long-distance touring on the highway, improving rider comfort. The Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL) enables the rider to set a top-speed from the Mode/Select switch ensuring the speed is not exceeded.
