Yamaha's XSR Sport Heritage series is different. Each model pays tribute to some of the most iconic motorcycles and designs in the company's long history, while offering the latest engine and chassis technology for performance-conscious riders.
This special combination of true respect for the past and seamless integration of high performance and timeless beauty is the driving force behind the philosophy of Yamaha Faster Sons. It resonates with those who want to experience great riding, but also want to look amazing while doing so. Each XSR model offers select, informed riders the freedom to show their individuality and is an ideal blank canvas that can be easily customized and personalized.
The freedom and creativity provided by the XSR model can be seen in the many unique and beautiful Yard Built projects generated from the ever-growing customization scenes over the past 7 years. Not only inspires fellow riders, but also greatly inspires Yamaha in terms of design.
After the launch of the first XSR900 in 2016, the Sports Heritage segment has grown and matured and has become an important segment of the European market. Now, it's time to reiterate the XSR900's status as the ultimate Faster Son-this motorcycle incorporates Yamaha's pioneering spirit while offering the latest unique design, exciting riding features and exclusive technology.
Don't be fooled by the enduring beauty of the XSR900, because there are some serious high-performance technologies behind the appearance of sports bikes in the 1980s. It is not only equipped with a stable EU5 889cc CP3 engine and high torque, but also equipped with a light Deltabox-style chassis with Brembo radial master cylinder, light Spinforged wheels and a fully adjustable suspension.
As the leader in the Sport Heritage series, XSR900 is the ultimate proof of Faster Sons philosophy in action. The design of this high-performance motorcycle is inspired by some of Yamaha's legendary and time-honored machinery, which is a vivid proof of decades of in-depth research and development.
This is the kind of motorcycle you can enjoy in almost any situation. Simple ergonomics are specially designed to provide you with an open and adaptable riding posture, making every ride more enjoyable. From narrow and winding roads to fast opening curves or easy cruising in towns, the XSR900 is ready for any challenge.
The new generation of Deltabox-style frame is a perfect example of how the XSR900 perfectly blends Yamaha's traditional design with the latest road sports technology.
40 years back in time to the 1980s, the Deltabox frame is a brand new technology that completely changed the world of racing. Yamaha is known for its innovative technology, which has made the company one of the most successful brands in road racing. It was the first manufacturer to break away from the traditional tubular frame and develop a controversial and bold design at the time. The Deltabox frame design has won many world championships, which undoubtedly proves its superiority.
In the 1980s, the Deltabox frame design was introduced to many Yamaha road models, and the concept has since been refined and improved. This is just an example of the Faster Sons philosophy-respect the origin, learn from the past, and then develop better products for modern riders.
The technology and aesthetics of the XSR900 are inspired by the 1980s-a glorious and important period in Yamaha's history-unlike many other new retro models, it is not just a revival of ancestors or a simple retro style. With the legendary Deltabox chassis design, XSR900 embodies the true spirit of Yamaha, giving the company's history, ideals and reputation a physical form.
Key features such as a powerful fuel tank and ventilated body panels provide a purposeful design without any superfluous elements, which can be traced back to the original racers and sports bikes that changed the motorcycle world 40 years ago.
These designs not only illustrate the origin of Yamaha, but are also part of the company's obligatory heritage. This is not a priority for design or performance-it is a priority for the rider. XSR900 lowered the head tube position of the Deltabox-style frame and lengthened the swing arm to improve straight-line stability-while optimizing the overall rigidity of the top triple clamp, the swing arm pivot fastening bolt and the engine bracket. A purely convertible sports car platform will respond to more leisurely or more lively riding.
Coupled with the history-inspired riding posture-sitting almost above the rear wheel-it creates a fun ride that stimulates the senses. The torque of the more powerful 889cc CP3 engine and the direct connection to the throttle are part of the charm of the bicycle. The newly adjusted exhaust sound emphasizes the unique and exciting characteristics of this flagship Sport Heritage bike.
By using Yamaha’s latest technology, engineers are focused on ensuring that riders can experience active control of the bicycle, and XSR900 can respond instantly and intuitively to each motorcyclist’s personalized way of riding a bicycle.
A key feature of the new XSR900 is the use of a new compact and lightweight aluminum frame with the latest manufacturing technology, making it one of the thinnest, lightest and most compact designs in its class.
Longitudinal, lateral and torsional stiffness have been significantly increased, bringing better straight-line stability without affecting agility, and the head tube is 30 mm lower than the previous model to increase the feel when turning. This allows the handlebars to be installed lower, making the XSR900 more aggressive, and combined with other changes to the chassis, the inertia around the steering axis has been reduced by 14% compared to the previous model-enabling the rider to turn quickly, accurately, and confidence.
The new Deltabox-type frame is manufactured using Yamaha's latest Controlled Fill (CF) technology, which accurately controls many factors, including mold vacuum, temperature, and injection speed.
This advanced Yamaha unique technology can produce complex die-cast structures, which are lighter and stronger than traditional casting methods. The frame uses parts of different thicknesses, so the stiffness level of the design can match the different loads that any specific area bears. The wall thickness ranges from the thinnest 1.7 mm to the thickest 3.5 mm. This "adjusted rigidity" delivers excellent feeling and feedback to the rider, giving the XSR900 sporty and sensitive handling characteristics.
The installation of a box-section aluminum rocker arm (55 mm longer than the previous model and a wheelbase of 1,495 mm) also enhances straight-line stability, and is equipped with a new model-specific subframe. Together with the longer swing arm, this new subframe emphasizes the 80s style and low profile of the XSR900, plus new passenger pedals, which fold up close to the subframe, strengthen this high-tech sports traditional bike Clean lines.
Not only does the frame benefit from the adjusted rigidity, Yamaha's designers also did their best to ensure that the XSR900 can provide a higher level of feeling and feedback. The previous model used a rear rocker arm that swiveled on the outside of the frame, while the new bicycle uses a rear rocker arm pivot fixed between external chassis members-an improved design that is thinner and stronger than before.
The XSR900’s fuel tank is inspired by Yamaha’s Grand Prix road racer in the 1980s. The front air intake not only helps to improve engine efficiency, but also delivers the strong air intake roar to the rider at higher speeds.
The relationship between the sculpted 15-liter fuel tank and the hump seat makes the riding position closer to the midpoint of the bike, almost above the rear axle. This layout helps create the unique riding characteristics of the bicycle and helps create a low-stress ergonomic design. A lot of attention is focused on the shape of the parts that the rider touches, such as the fuel tank, seat, and pole position. The compact ventilated side panels give the XSR900 a simple appearance, and the racing-style fuel cap of the fuel tank highlights the sports tradition of the bicycle.
The high-quality components of the entire XSR900 are obvious. The new Brembo radial front master cylinder emphasizes the cutting-edge specifications of the bicycle and supports its very impressive sporting potential. The system's pistons move in parallel with the adjustable brake lever, which provides accurate feedback from the dual 298mm front brake discs, and provides unprecedented braking force and high controllability. The attention to detail can be seen in the beautifully forged brake pedal that controls the 245 mm rear brake disc.
The suspension is top-notch, with fully adjustable KYB USD front forks and gold finishes to enhance the appearance of the bike, and the link-type rear suspension has a forward tilt adjustable KYB shock absorber, which is almost invisible, making the rear view It looks clean and smooth.
By using Yamaha's unique swaging technology to manufacture the wheels of the new XSR900, the front/rear wheels can be 700 grams lighter than before. This is a significant reduction in unsprung weight and provides a more sensitive suspension action, thereby improving flexibility and stability. The lighter wheels reduce the moment of inertia at the rear by 11%, making the new XSR900 more responsive, especially when cornering and braking.
A likable feature of the original XSR900, the round headlights, has been continued, but it has been raised to a new level with full LED functions. In addition to providing a strong beam with a wide horizontal beam for excellent turning visibility at night, the new LED unit also allows the use of a shorter housing. The brushed aluminum headlight bracket enhances the bike's sturdiness and mechanical design, highlighting its status as Yamaha's premier sporting traditional model.
In order to emphasize the image of a long-established racing car, the XSR900 is equipped with "hidden" LED taillights located under the seat hump. The LED flash highlights the elegant and sporty lines of this high-performance bike.
Quality and attention to detail are obvious from all angles. It is obvious that Yamaha's designers did not deliberately cut any corners or make any compromises in their mission to create the next-generation Sport Heritage model. In order to obtain a qualitative but racing-inspired image, the cockpit is enhanced with a machined top triple fixture, a drilled fork cover, and an aluminum XSR logo. Other features include an embossed aluminum rear soleplate, forged pedal controls, black brake fuel tanks and rearview mirrors, indicating that this is a motorcycle ready to make an impression—not just a rider.
In 2022, the XSR900 will be driven by a more powerful, larger capacity 889cc CP3 engine, which can generate stronger linear torque to achieve excellent acceleration. Compared with the previous engine, the stroke of the new device has increased by 3 mm, providing an additional 43cc, and almost all main internal components have been redesigned and lightened, making it one of the most powerful engines in its class.
Lighter pistons help reduce the weight of the engine (not including the exhaust pipe)-300 grams less than before-these changes increase the power by 4PS, reaching up to 87.5 kW (119 PS) at 10,000 rpm. More importantly, the torque produced by this engine-known for its powerful and linear output-has increased significantly to 93.0 Nm (9.5 kgf-m). This means that the torque has increased by 6% and was achieved at only 7,000 rpm-a figure that is 1,500 rpm lower than the previous model.
Riders who are already familiar with the easy acceleration of Yamaha's legendary CP3 engine (one of the best-selling engines in Europe) are sure to be impressed by the improved performance of the new XSR900. For a new generation of riders who love timeless style and want exciting performance through the latest technology, the Sport Heritage category is sure to become one of the most exciting destinations.
The original Yamaha CP3 engine is already one of the best-sounding power units on the street, and a hoarse roar can be made with a twist of the wrist. The quality of the sound is understood and appreciated by most riders. Yamaha's engineers spent a lot of time and energy to build an exhaust system that is coordinated with the intake-this system can convey and convey the original torque and great excitement associated with the XSR900 engine.
When developing the new exhaust system, Yamaha's project team drove thousands of kilometers on winding roads in search of perfection. The new exhaust device of XSR900 has unequal-length headers and double-sided outlets, and the ideal sound is achieved by testing the size of the muffler chamber. Coupled with the 3-pipe design with dual air intakes, the rider's own voice has also been perfectly arranged.
Accelerating from a standstill, the roar from the exhaust surrounds the rider, enhancing the thrill of a violent charging. With the establishment of engine speed, the roar of intake takes over from the exhaust, creating a strong sense of excitement, which makes this The 889cc CP3 engine is so fun to ride.
In order to handle the significantly increased torque level of the XSR900, the A&S clutch has been upgraded with different friction plates, and the cam angle of the clutch has been changed from 30 degrees to 33 degrees. These changes reduce the load on the clutch spring, so although the engine provides more torque at lower engine speeds, the clutch actually feels lighter on the lever.
By absorbing reactive torque, the A&S clutch helps achieve gentler and more stable chassis behavior during downshifts, thereby improving controllability during deceleration.
In order to match the increased power and torque output of the XSR900, the 6-speed gearbox has been optimized with a slightly higher gear ratio-from 2.666 to 2.571 for the first gear, and from 2.000 to 1.947 for the second gear. These changes are intended to complement the increased crankshaft moment of inertia, improved fuel injection system characteristics, and help provide balanced performance and a strong sense of torque.
XSR900 is equipped with one of the most impressive electronic rider control systems in the Sport Heritage category. As early as 2015, R1 broke new ground with its cutting-edge electronic equipment. The system has undergone 6 years of development and miniaturization.
The core of the new XSR900 system is a 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), which uses two sensors to measure three-axis speed and three-axis acceleration. This new device is 50% and 40% smaller than the original 2015 R1 design, and it sends data to the ECU to notify three rider aids: Lean Sensitive Traction Control System, Slip Control System (SCS), and Front Wheel Lift Control System ( LIF).
The degree of intervention of the traction control system is calculated by the IMU relative to the degree of inclination. The rider can choose one of three intervention modes, or even shut down the system completely.
When R1 owners were the first to experience it, the sliding control system (SCS) was a revelation. It is an extremely valuable asset for any sports rider and provides the highest degree of controllability. When the IMU predicts that the rear wheels will slip sideways, it will adjust the drive power to maintain traction. Like TCS, there are three levels of intervention, as well as a close switch.
LIF is an anti-wheel off-ground system that helps smooth machine behavior when pulling apart or accelerating hard. LIF is designed to work in coordination with other electronic control systems.
The XSR900's brake control system independently controls and adjusts the front and rear brake pressures to prevent accidental locking of the wheels. BC1 is a standard type of ABS mode that can be activated in an upright emergency stop situation, while BC2 is designed to maintain control when emergency braking is applied when the XSR900 is tilted in the middle corner.
The XSR900's Quick Shift System (QSS) allows the rider to perform clutchless full throttle upshifts for optimal acceleration, and clutchless downshifts to improve stability and cornering, thereby taking performance to another level.
The new XSR900 has four D-Mode engine power modes, while the previous model has only three. Mode 1 is the most aggressive full power mode, while Modes 2, 3, and 4 provide a gradually softer response to suit the riding conditions.
Although the previous XSR900 is equipped with Yamaha chip controlled throttle (YCC-T), the new model takes this technology a step further by adding an R1 type acceleration position sensor handle (APSG). This is a complete "wire control" system, with a sensor in the torsion handle, which can replicate the traditional feel of the throttle spring and does not require any cables.
The circular LCD unit of the previous model is now replaced by a higher-spec 3.5-inch full-color TFT display with a bar tachometer, which can change color as the speed increases, and also has a configurable Auxiliary information display. The riding mode selection can be easily managed through the ergonomic handle switch.
Another new feature seen for the first time on the XSR900 is cruise control. This easy-to-program system makes long-distance travel more enjoyable and has the added advantage of allowing the rider to observe the speed limit without having to look away from the road ahead. Check the speedometer.
In order to strengthen the connection with the innovation and success of the 80s, the new XSR900 presents the unique colors of GP winner Christian Sarron with a modern interpretation. Christian provided outstanding performance throughout the 1980s, thus helping to emphasize the success of Deltabox. These achievements still resonate within Yamaha and inspire the brand to perform better every day. The color scheme with a curvy 15-liter steel fuel tank and seat hump seamlessly blends the image of the sports car with the details of the racing car. The unique gap between the fuel tank and the seat, quick release fasteners and hidden passenger foot spikes combine to create the unique appearance of the XSR900.
