Radical, compact body workThe first time you see an R6, you notice its slick minimalism. Itscomponents are concentrated around the bike's centre of gravity, andthis radical look underlines the agile performance of this class-leadingmiddleweight. Combine this with the mass-forward set-up, and you geta motorcycle that appears to be lunging forward out of every corner.
Racing-style slipper clutchThe R6 features a slipper clutch. This ensures a smoother downshift -especially for the entry into corners - by absorbing the back torque forcesfrom the rear wheel during downshifting.
EXUP exhaustRide an R6, and you ride a machine of class-leading technology. Its EXUPexhaust improves engine efficiency by adjusting exhaust gas flows with avalve that opens and closes according to engine speed.
Aluminium die-cast DeltaboxThe R6's lightweight aluminium Deltabox frame and aluminium swingarm provideMotoGP-inspired rigidity balance, for razor-sharp handling and amazingfeedback.
Fully-adjustable upside down front forksThe fully adjustable, upside down forks mean low-speed and high-speedcompression damping and rebound damping adjustments for precise feedbackfrom the road or the racing circuit and adjustable ride-height allows forindividually tailored chassis behaviour.
Cutting-edge electronicsThe R6's cutting-edge electronics include the YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled-Intake), which electronically adjusts the intake funnels for perfect performanceand torque across the rpm range. The YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled-Throttle)controls the throttle-valve for instantly responsive and superbly smooth power.
