New Lightweight SpinForged Wheels
Through Yamaha's exclusive spin-forging process, sporty 10-spoke aluminium wheels enhance looks while significantly reducing unsprung weight. The result is improved suspension action and decreased moment of inertia for a more responsive feel, especially during cornering and braking. The 2026 YZF-R7 also comes equipped with high performance Bridgestone® Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres.
Updated Ergonomics
The riding position has been revised for 2026 with the aim of enhancing rider movement and comfort. Handlebar positioning slightly higher and closer to the rider aids upper body movement, while a redesigned seat shape and lower seat height eases reach to the ground for enhanced accessibility. Additionally, a new fuel tank shape improves grip and allows for greater freedom of movement both forward and rearward.
Y-TRAC Rev App Compatibility
For track enthusiasts, the YZF-R7 now comes equipped with Yamaha's new 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, as well as analyse riding data post-session.
Iconic 70th Anniversary Edition Model
The new 2026 YZF-R7 70th Anniversary Edition's aerodynamic next-generation R-Series design combines with iconic white and red speed block livery, gold Yamaha Tuning Fork emblems, and Anniversary Edition badge to celebrate the 1955 birth of Yamaha Motor Company and seven decades of motorsports excellence in standout style.
