Windscreen

• A bubble-shaped windscreen works in concert with the rider position changes to reduce wind resistance.

Unit Pro-Link Rear Suspension

• The CBR1000RR features front and rear suspension. In the back, the Unit Pro-Link design uses a balance-free rear shock with a double-tube design for a smoother and more accurate response.

Twin-Spar Aluminum Chassis

• A four-piece aluminum frame design balances strength, rigidity and lightness. Wrapped tightly around the engine, the structure helps centralize the CBR1000RR’s mass for more responsive handling—some of the best anywhere on two wheels.

Special CBR1000RR SP Repsol Edition

• The CBR1000RR SP features a slew of race-ready parts all wrapper in Repsol graphics inspired by the two time MotoGP Champion Marc Marquez.

Rider Position

• In 2014, the footpegs were moved further back by 10mm, and the handlebar angles revised inward and downward to move the rider triangle slightly downward and forward.

Piston and Con-Rod Grading by Weight

• The CBR1000RR SP pistons and con rods are hand selected and weight-matched to improve engine performance.

Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V2 Tires

• The street-legal Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires offer grip and handling in one high-performance tire. The 12-spoke wheels also feature a unique pinstripe design.

Öhlins Front and Rear Suspension Components

• The CBR1000RR SP features a forged and machined top bridge, fully adjustable NIX30 front suspension and TTX36 rear shock for superior suspension performance and adjustability on the track or the street.

Lightweight Cast-Aluminum Seat Rail

• On the CBR1000RR SP a firmer, single-seat design with a special pillion cover and a cast and machined aluminum subframe reduces weight and helps speed track day prep.

LCD Instruments

• The CBR1000RR’s full-screen LCD instrumentation includes a lap timer, trip and fuel-consumption computer, five-level customizable shift indicator, gear-position indicator and peak-rpm memory function.

Layered Fairing

• There’s no mistaking the 2015 CBR1000RR, thanks to its layered fairing bodywork. Lean, mean and more aggressive from front to back, it’s a real attention getter, even when it’s standing still.

Gull-Wing Swingarm

• The CBR1000RR’s braced aluminum “gull-wing” swingarm is deliberately long. That helps deliver improved traction and gives the rider excellent chassis feedback.

Emissions

• Meets current EPA standards. California version meets current CARB standards and may differ slightly due to emissions equipment.

Dual-Stage Fuel Injection

• The CBR1000RR features two sets of injectors per cylinder for both low- and high-rpm performance, instantaneous high-rpm response and great low-rpm metering and clean running. Refined EFI settings make the engine even more manageable, with smoother throttle response specifically at smaller throttle openings.

Cylinder Head and Exhaust

• The 2015 CBR1000RR features changes to the cylinder head, including revised valve seats, machining and intake exhaust port shape. Along with modifications to the intake and exhaust systems, this creates more horsepower and torque.

Centrally Located Fuel Tank

• The CBR1000RR’s 4.7-gallon fuel tank is positioned in the center of the chassis and low in the frame. This allows for a more compact design but more importantly, it helps centralize the bike’s mass. Increased mass centralization means the CBR is more responsive to rider input, especially when leaning the bike into a turn or standing it up at the exit.

Brembo Monobloc Front Calipers

• The race-proven Brembo monobloc calipers are light, but they provide exceptional stiffness and excellent braking performance.

Assisted Slipper Clutch

• Superbikes can deliver a great deal of back-torque through the driveline, upsetting handling—not the CBR1000RR. Its Honda-designed assisted slipper clutch is the same type used on our MotoGP bikes. The design does away with the need for heavy clutch springs, ensuring full power transmission with smooth shifting and a light clutch pull at the lever.

12-Spoke Wheels

• With their consistent rigidity and balance, these sharp-looking 12-spoke cast-aluminum wheels work with the fork and enhance suspension feedback to deliver real handling improvements.
