Vehicle Description

2026 Yamaha MT-09 SP

Featuring exclusive special edition coloring, premium KYB® and Öhlins® suspension, and top-shelf Brembo® brakes, experience the class-dominating middleweight master born from the Darkness.

Features may include:

• Powerful 890cc Three-Cylinder Engine

Yamaha`s renowned 890cc liquid-cooled CP3 engine is light, powerful and provides a thrilling wave of torque from low RPMs. A combination of carefully tuned induction sound and distinctive crossplane triple exhaust note provides a resonance which only heightens the feeling of acceleration. Throttle valves are governed by the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system enabling finer actuation and precise control.

• Advanced Six-Axis IMU

The MT-09 SP features an advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that matches the base performance of proven IMU in the YZF-R1 Superbike. Data collected from the IMU and wheel speed sensors enable a high-tech suite of rider aids including a four-mode Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS), front wheel Lift Control System (LIF) and a two-mode Brake Control System. Each of these systems can be turned off and Traction Control, Slide Control and Lift Control can have their levels of intervention adjusted to preference.

• Lightweight CF Die-Cast Aluminum Frame

The MT-09 SP features an advanced, lightweight aluminum frame refined to showcase the MT`s signature agility. To ensure both straight-line stability and handling performance, the balance of longitudinal, lateral and torsional rigidity are all carefully considered and finely tuned. The frame is manufactured using Yamaha`s groundbreaking controlled fill (CF) die casting technology which contributes to its light weight.

• High-Spec SP Suspension

Premium SP-exclusive suspension brings Supersport-level handling and precision to the Hyper Naked class. The 41mm DLC coated KYB® forks and O–hlins® rear shock feature a higher spring rate offering outstanding stability during more spirited riding. Set-up can be fine tuned to suit a variety of different riding situations with the forks fully adjustable for preload, rebound, high- and low-speed compression damping, while the fully adjustable Öhlins® shock is equipped with a remote preload adjuster to enable quick and easy changes.

• Brembo® Stylema Calipers & Radial Master Cylinder

The MT-09 SP boasts premium-spec Brembo® Stylema monoblock brake calipers paired with a Brembo® radial master cylinder and large 298mm dual front discs for the ultimate in stopping power and finger-tip control.

• Five-Inch TFT Display with Smartphone Connectivity

Riders can link their smartphone to the rich, full-color TFT display via Yamaha`s free Y-Connect app to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is available through the Garmin® StreetCross app to make each journey easier.
