What is the Yamaha CP3 engine, and why is it better for street riding?
The CP3 is an 890cc three-cylinder engine that uses a “crossplane” crankshaft. This design eliminates inertial torque, giving the rider a more direct connection between the throttle and the rear tire, resulting in massive low-end torque and a smooth, linear power delivery ideal for aggressive street riding.

What does the 3rd-gen Quick Shift System (QSS) actually do?
Yamaha’s latest QSS allows you to shift both up and down through the gears without ever touching the clutch lever or backing off the throttle. The 3rd-generation system is more refined than previous versions, allowing for smoother shifts even under heavy acceleration or when downshifting into a corner.
