The King of the MT lineup demands total respect, and the first thing that’s going to grab your attention is the compact headlight assembly and restyled tank that highlight the MT-10’s outstanding mechanical beauty. And the moment you hear the 998cc CP4 engine’s deep intake roar coming out of the air intakes, you’ll know that this bike is the one for you.
Hidden deep in the lightweight Deltabox chassis is the most sophisticated package of electronic rider aids, designed to give you the highest degree of controllability. With adjustable high-tech systems that control traction, slides, wheelies, engine braking and braking, you can make your MT-10 behave exactly the way you desire.
KEY FEATURES
High-Torque 998cc CP4 Engine
The MT-10 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 a torquey, street-focused engine character.
Acoustic Amplifier Grilles
To further enhance the crossplane CP4 engine's distinctive soundtrack, the airbox 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 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 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.
Six-Axis IMU with Rider Aids
The MT-10 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 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.
Cutting-Edge Chassis
Like the YZF-RI superbike, the MT-10 uses an aluminum Deltabox frame to create a lightweight and responsive chassis that is built for agility with its ultra-compact 55.3-inch wheelbase. The MT-10 mounts fully adjustable KYB® suspension—front and rear—for excellent road holding and an adjustment range ready for a variety of street or track conditions.
Compact, Aggressive MT Styling
A stripped-down look is achieved by removing unnecessary bodywork elements and refocusing attention on the pure mechanical beauty of the muscular engine and compact frame. Twin-eye mono-focus LED headlights and LED position lights situated above the headlights combine with a compact nose assembly to minimize overhang and lend a refined, dominant style. Enlarged, functional intake ducts mounted on either side of the fuel tank cover increase efficiency while further enhancing the bike's aggressiveness.
