Enhanced Racing Performance with R1 GYTR
For an even more refined, race-ready track experience, the R1 GYTR boasts the new features offered by the R1 RACE, plus a selection of race-developed Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing (GTYR) parts to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of racing performance.

For over a decade, the GYTR accessories have been strategically developed with speed in mind by the same result-hungry engineers responsible for Yamaha’s reputation for racing success. This includes the team behind Yamaha’s championship-winning efforts in both the Superbike World Championship and EWC.

Offering optimised and balanced performance, each R1 GYTR is built and delivered by one of Yamaha’s specialist GYTR PRO Shops to meet FIM Superstock 1000 regulations. Designed to offer the essential base for racing, the R1 GYTR can be further customised to meet each individual rider’s needs as they strive for the next level of superbike performance.

Offering an improved power output across the rev range, the R1 GYTR offers refined track-focused performance for all ability levels and with a wide range of ECU adjustability, customisation to a rider’s feeling and specific performance targets can be more easily achieved.

The ideal riding position can be enhanced through adjustable GYTR rearsets and handlebars, while the R1 GYTR’s agility is enhanced through the weight savings made by each GYTR component.
The carbon-reinforced fibre glass lightweight and aerodynamic GYTR race cowl, including the new winglets, is available in black primer, and also includes a GYTR decal set, while a racing seat further enhances the rider’s manoeuvrability on the bike.

Enhanced, race-level braking performance is offered with the pairing of the new Brembo Stylema calipers with Z04 racing pads, with the connection refined further with the R1 GYTR brake lines.
Equipped with the GYTR Racing ECU and racing wiring harness, the R1 GYTR is a refined, track-focused weapon. In a further effort to improve performance, the R1 GYTR comes with an Akrapovič muffler (<100DB), 15/42T 520 sprockets and an R-Series 520 racing chain.

The R1 GYTR is fully keyless, featuring the track-focused GYTR On/Off switch, and pit box convenience is enhanced through the fitment of GYTR rear stand hooks with each R1 GYTR coming with a R-Series Racing rear stand.

The combination of factory modifications, GYTR parts and the know-how of the GYTR PRO Shop technicians makes the R1 GYTR faster and more fine-tuned than ever before.
