2021 Yamaha MT-09

All-new Lightweight CF Aluminium Die-cast Frame    
An entirely new compact CF die-cast aluminium frame design—a modern take on the Deltabox layout—features a higher level of chassis stiffness for improved rider feedback, stability and an increased dynamic riding window.

Adjustable Suspension    
A fully adjustable 41 mm front fork uses optimized settings that match the character of the compact new high-rigidity frame and reduce the tendency to pitch, giving a smoother and more controlled ride. The adjustable rear suspension features new settings as well as a revised linkage to match the all-new, high-rigidity swingarm.

Lightweight Spin Forged Wheels    
Weighing 700 g less than the previous model, the new spin forged wheels give  outstanding chassis agility by decreasing the moment of inertia at the rear by 11%. This reduced unsprung weight also enhances suspension performance, and contributes towards an impressive 9% improvement in fuel efficiency.

Next-generation design and styling    
New-generation design leads the MT family line into the new decade. Minimalist styling showcases the frame and structural components.

6-Axis IMU plus lean-sensitive rider aids    
Developed from the YZF-R1, the compact new 6-axis IMU governs the MT-09’s high-tech rider aids, including:

• 3-mode Traction Control System (TCS)
• Slide Control System (SCS)
• Front-wheel Lift Control System (LIF)
• Brake Control system (BC)

(note: TCS, SCS and LIF are lean-sensitive)
 
Full-colour 3.5-inch TFT display    
The 3.5-inch full-colour TFT display features a bar-type tachometer that changes colour as rpm rises or falls. Handlebar switches enable you to easily change displays and information, as well as adjust the settings on the optional Genuine Yamaha heated grips.

Compact, bifunctional LED headlight    
The new single LED headlight produces a powerful beam with an excellent  spread featuring soft edges while giving the MT-09 a truly distinctive next-generation face, and lateral LED position lights project a signature Y-shape that is matched by the LED taillight.

Quick Shift System (QSS)    
The new up and down Quick Shifter System enhances the sport riding experience by enabling super-fast upshifts for outstanding acceleration. The downshift function allows smoother shifting to maintain chassis stability even when cornering, to give a more controlled feel when decelerating.
