The YZF-R7 delivers proven 689cc CP2 power, a sharper handling chassis and ultra-sleek new styling that embodies the exhilarating next-generation of R World.
Packed with a range of new features including a redesigned frame, enhanced ergonomics, an advanced electronics package and smartphone connectivity, the R7 is revolutionising the supersport class with the ultimate combination of performance, accessibility and price.
A full-colour 5in TFT display features four selectable themes along with a track-specific mode. Smartphone connectivity enabled through Yamaha's free Y-Connect app allows riders to receive notifications, calls and listen to music (via aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is available through the free Garmin® StreetCross app.
Equipped with Yamaha's advanced third-generation Quick Shift System (QSS), enabling quick, clutchless upshifts and downshifts under both acceleration and deceleration. The system operates at speeds above 16km/h, with upshifts above 2000 RPM and downshifts above 1600 RPM.
For track enthusiasts, the YZF-R7 comes equipped with Yamaha's Y-TRAC Rev compatibility making it possible to communicate with a pit crew while on track similar to pro rider communications with a race team. Main functions include a Lap Timer, Virtual Pitboard, and Ride Data Analysis to collect and display data on the motorcycle's TFT display in real time.
The YZF-R7 features an inverted KYB 41mm front fork with optimised spring rate and damping settings for an excellent front-end feel during cornering and braking. The product specific settings make for easy and predictable behaviour, with a stiff feel for twisty roads and racetracks. The fork is fully adjustable for preload, rebound and compression damping force.
The YZF-R7 is the first Yamaha model to feature a radial brake master cylinder from Brembo. This Brembo radial master cylinder provides a more linear supply of hydraulic pressure to the radial mounted, four pot front brake calipers creating excellent controllability and stopping power through dual 298mm front brake rotors.
The YZF-R7's high-tensile steel tubular frame has been completely revised for enhanced strength and higher torsional, longitudinal, and lateral rigidity, while still retaining the same weight as the previous model. To complement the updated frame, the design of the asymmetrical swingarm has also been revised to optimise rigidity.
