Yamaha: among the examples of EICMA 2019 the new TMAX 560 and the powerful YZF-R1 [LIVE VIDEO]

Yamaha TMX 560 figure among the models of the Iwata company 77 edition di EICMA. One of the innovations introduced by the manufacturer, together with the high sportiness of the renewed one YZF-R1, also observed on the occasion.

The new maxi scooter of the three tuning forks

An example with a twin-cylinder engine 560 cc Euro 5 revised from the intake point of view and characterized by new forged aluminum pistons and reshaped connecting rods. You also increase torque and power, at altitude 55,7 Nm a 5.250 rpm e 35,0 kW a 7.500 rpm. The engine appears as a stressed element, also favoring a low center of gravity. The 2 into 1 exhaust, then, appears inclined upwards and features front and rear catalytic converters with elements in rhodium and platinum, according to the indications. There is also a new belt CVT which supports the transmission and other refinements, with a fine-tuning of the Traction Control System (TCS).
The features also include a double-spar die-cast aluminum frame, as well as an aerodynamic appearance that can also be distinguished by the distinctive LED headlights. The saddle height reaches up to 800 millimeters, while the wheelbase is 1.575 millimeters. The technological solutions are also different.

The new sports car

Linked to R series, the cycling of Yamaha YZF-R1 It is characterized by a fork Kayaba with stems from 43 mm and specific interventions regarding the internal structure, with an excursion from 120 mm and further interventions based on performance maximization. Powerful braking system with a pair of discs 320 mm and monobloc calipers as well as pads developed with a new high friction material, therefore a series of solutions ranging from a brake control system, a Brake Control or BC, to a 6-axis inertial platform IMU with gyroscopic sensors focused on pitch , yaw and roll. The various aspects are shown on a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) active matrix liquid crystal screen, which includes the instrumentation. Thrust is developed by a four-cylinder crossplane engine Euro 5 di 998 cc which delivers 200 horses, as reported.
