2026 Yamaha MT-10 SP CA Liquid Metal/Raven

THE DARKEST ENERGY
The pinnacle of MT crossplane torque, distinct styling and agile handling lets you dominate the Darkness.

Features May Include:

Acoustic Amplifier Grilles

• To further enhance the crossplane CP4 engine's distinctive soundtrack, the air box has three differing-length intake ducts tuned to resonate harmoniously at varying engine speeds to create a unique intake roar that enhances the riding experience. Sound is further heightened by Acoustic Amplifier Grilles positioned on the front left and right of the fuel tank, transmitting this tuned induction soundtrack directly to the rider, adding to the thrill when opening the throttle.

Advanced Ōhlins® Semi-Active Suspension System

• State-of-the-art Ōhlins® electronically controlled suspension provides riders the choice between three semi-active damping modes (A-1, A-2, A-3), as well as three manual setting modes (M-1, M-2, M-3). When an automatic mode is selected the system adjusts rebound and compression damping continuously to match the current running conditions, ensuring the most appropriate settings are always in play. Manual modes allow precise electronic adjustment of compression and rebound damping for both the front fork and rear shock.

Six-Axis IMU with Rider Aids

• The MT-10 SP provides cutting-edge technological advancement with Yamaha's state-of-the-art six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit. Originally developed for the YZF-R1, the IMU on the MT-10 SP has evolved into a smaller and lighter unit, featuring two sensors that measure three-axis angular velocity and three-axis acceleration, enabling a suite of rider aids including lean-sensitive traction control, a Slide Control System (SCS), a front wheel Lift Control System (LIF), Engine Brake Management (EBM) and a Brake Control (BC) System with lean-sensitive ABS.

Advanced Ride-By-Wire Throttle with APSG

• Advanced Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system instantly calculates ideal throttle valve opening based on movement detected at the throttle grip. The MT-10 SP also features an Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (APSG) which employs a spring, slider and gear mechanism to produce a natural throttle feel. The rider can also pre-select throttle response characteristics by using the PWR (Power delivery mode) switch to choose between four different power modes.

Exclusive SP Styling

• Along with its stripped-down, aggressive look, the MT-10 SP adds an air of exclusivity with additional premium styling details and distinctive Liquid Metal/Raven color scheme signifying its status at the top of the Hyper Naked range. The MT-10 SP also boasts an attractive polished swingarm and exclusive color-matched lower fairing for a more purposeful, race-bred look.

Cruise Control & Speed Limiter

• The MT-10 SP includes a cruise control system powered by the YCC-T. Using the left handlebar switchgear, the rider can easily select or adjust a set speed to ease long-distance touring on the highway, improving rider comfort. The Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL) enables the rider to set a top-speed from the Mode/Select switch ensuring the speed is not exceeded.

High-Torque 998cc CP4 Engine

• The MT-10 SP is equipped with a refined version of the 998cc liquid-cooled CP4 crossplane engine derived from the race-ready YZF-R1 powerplant. Providing a linear, torque-rich delivery, this is the most potent and technologically advanced engine ever seen on a Yamaha Hyper Naked motorcycle. Fuel injection settings are optimized, and along with the intake and exhaust system design, lend the MT-10 SP a torquey, street-focused engine character.

ENGINE

• Potent 998cc inline four-cylinder engine serves up awesome low- and mid-range torque with arm-stretching top-end power.
• Crossplane design nearly eliminates inertial engine torque to provide a direct connection between the throttle and rear wheel.
• Optimized fuel injection settings lend the MT-10 a torquey, street-focused engine character.
• Rocker-arm valve actuation allows for larger valve lifts further boosting power and efficiency.
• The engine's cylinders are slightly offset to reduce friction losses, with plated bores for excellent heat dissipation and cylinder sealing.
• Strong, lightweight forged pistons, carburized fracture-split connecting rods and rigid, closed-deck cylinder block ensure reliability.
• Enlarged intake ducts on either side of the fuel tank increase intake efficiency while adding to the purposeful, aggressive look.
• Three intake ducts are differing lengths, all tuned to resonate harmoniously at varying engine speeds to create a unique intake roar.
• Acoustic Amplifier Grilles positioned on the left and right of the fuel tank transmit tuned induction soundtrack directly to the rider.
• Compact six-speed transmission stacks the crankshaft input and output shafts in a triangular layout to centralize mass.
• Assist & Slipper clutch provides smoother, more confident downshifts when entering corners and a lighter lever pull.
• Yamaha's advanced Quick Shift System (QSS) enables quick, clutchless shifting both up and down the gear box.
• A large curved radiator keeps engine heat in check while a compact air-cooled oil cooler ensures stable oil temperatures.

ELECTRONICS

• A premium full-color 4.2-inch TFT display features a clear, easy to read screen and intuitive function navigation.
• Ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system enables cutting-edge computerized engine management.
• Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (APSG) employs a spring, slider and gear mechanism to produce a natural throttle feel.
• Power delivery mode (PWR) allows rider to select throttle response characteristics with four different modes to suit preference.
• Yamaha's state-of-the-art six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit enables an advanced suite of lean-sensitive rider aids.
• Lean angle-sensitive Traction Control System (TCS) with adjustable intervention to suit rider preference.
• Adjustable Slide Control System (SCS) detects lateral slides and adjusts power delivery to control cornering attitude.
• Adjustable Lift Control System (LIF) detects front wheel lift and regulates engine power to maintain chassis attitude and forward drive.
• Lean-sensitive Brake Control (BC) System works with ABS to provide progressive brake force intervention as lean increases.
• Engine Brake Management (EBM) system allows rider to adjust engine braking to suit preference.
• Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) simplifies rider aids with selectable pre-programmed and customizable modes.
• Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL) controls engine output to enable rider to set a maximum speed limit for their machine.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

• Aluminum Deltabox frame derived from the YZF-R1 creates a lightweight, agile chassis with a compact 55.3-inch wheelbase.
• Inverted 43mm KYB® front fork which offers full adjustability and 4.7 inches of travel, for excellent handling and front-end feel.
• Four-way-adjustable KYB® piggyback-style shock with 4.7 inches of travel uses a rear bottom link pivot position for optimal handling.
• Radial-mount, four-piston front calipers, sintered pads, 320mm front discs and 220mm rear disc provide exceptional braking power.
• The MT-10 SP rolls on lightweight five-spoke aluminum wheels for nimble steering and suspension feel.
• Bridgestone® Battlax Hypersport S22 tires—a 120/70ZR17 front and 190/55ZR17 rear—provide chassis-matched handling and grip.
• Ergonomics on the MT-10 are focus on greater comfort and control with a firm seat, optimized tank shape and generous rider triangle.
• Stripped-down MT design removes unnecessary bodywork, focusing attention on the muscular engine and compact frame.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

• Twin-eye mono-focus LED headlights and LED position lights combine with a compact nose assembly for a refined, aggressive look.
