• TITANIUM MUFFLER: The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP’s muffler was developed jointly with Akrapovi?. It’s made out of titanium for light weight, and the design also contributes to the bike’s m* centralization. A special valve in the exhaust helps boost torque at lower revs and increase horsepower at higher rpm.
  • COMPACT OVERALL CHASSIS: The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP’s wheelbase is just 57.3 inches for super-responsive handling, while the swing arm measures 24.5 inches in length. The crankshaft centerline is 33mm farther from the front axle and 16mm higher for better front/rear balance with a rider onboard. Rake angle is 24 degrees, with 101.2mm of trail.
  • SHORTER ENGINE: The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP’s engine is shorter front to back than the previous design, making the bike more compact and allowing our designers more latitude in engine placement in the chassis.
