About the Product
Öhlins Upgrade Kit – Yamaha YZF-R1M (2015–2019)
The Öhlins Upgrade Kit for the Yamaha YZF-R1M is a race-focused suspension enhancement designed to optimize the performance of the motorcycle’s factory Öhlins Mechatronics electronic suspension system. This kit is engineered for riders seeking improved chassis geometry, suspension tuning range, and maximum performance during track riding or racing.
Specifically developed for the YZF-R1M platform, the kit modifies both the front and rear suspension components to unlock additional adjustment and improved handling characteristics. By extending fork travel and updating internal components of the rear shock, the upgrade allows riders to fine-tune suspension behavior for improved cornering stability, braking control, and overall chassis balance.
This upgrade is commonly used by professional race teams and experienced track riders who want to extract the maximum performance from the R1M’s electronically controlled Öhlins suspension system.
