Every Yamaha unit is built with a purpose: to perform at its absolute best when it matters most. But performance isn’t just designed: it’s preserved

Yamaha Genuine Parts make the real difference in engine capability, reliability, and overall performance. When every component is engineered to work together, the result is power you can trust and durability you can count on.

Choosing non-genuine parts can compromise efficiency, increase wear, and limit the full potential of your motorcycle.

Yamaha Genuine Parts are made for your Yamaha. No compromises: just the performance it was built to deliver.

For parts and servicing, your official Yamaha dealerships and authorized workshops are the partners you can rely on. With certified expertise and direct access to genuine components, they ensure your Yamaha motorcycle stays exactly as it was engineered to be.

MV Agusta reinforces its aggressive positioning in the rapidly expanding Travel Enduro segment with a clear and confident message: the Enduro Veloce delivers a fully equipped, factory-integrated motorcycle without compromise. Two new colour schemes further enhance the model’s distinctive identity: Nero Intenso/Grigio Antracite and Bianco Perlato RC/Blu Nordico.

A Complete Package from the Factory

The Enduro Veloce represents MV Agusta’s most performance-focused interpretation of the Travel Enduro category. It combines the brand’s racing DNA with premium components, advanced electronics, and a comprehensive equipment package — all delivered as original equipment (OE).

In an industry increasingly driven by “headline price” strategies, many competitors promote attractive entry MSRPs based on minimally equipped base models. Following such logic, essential technologies, electronic systems, and premium components are frequently shifted into optional packages, requiring additional activation fees, accessory purchases, and workshop installation time, all translating into additional costs that are left out from the advertised price.

MV Agusta, on the Enduro Veloce as well as on the entire line up, takes a different approach. Every key feature is fully integrated and factory-installed from day one. No software unlocks. No electronic activation charges. No post-purchase upgrades. No additional workshop appointments.

Real Competitiveness

Once competitor models are specified to the same level of equipment and functionality as the Enduro Veloce, the apparent price gap narrows considerably, and can even shift in its favour.

The result is clear: what may appear to be a price difference at first glance becomes a compelling value proposition once equivalent specifications are taken into account. The Enduro Veloce stands as a transparent and highly competitive offering within the premium Travel Enduro segment.

Integrated Electronics – The OE Advantage

All electronic systems on the Enduro Veloce are delivered as original equipment, fully integrated into the motorcycle’s architecture. Riders benefit from a seamless experience — performance, control, and connectivity working together as a unified system engineered from inception.

The Enduro Veloce features two dedicated tyre configurations: one street-oriented and one designed for off-road use.

Each configuration adapts the vehicle’s electronic calibration to ensure optimal performance, safety, and control according to the selected tyre setup. The adaptive system is built around a comprehensive standard equipment package including:

• 6-axis IMU
• ABS with Cornering function
• 3 Riding Modes + 1 Custom
• Quick Shift (up & down)
• Traction Control (Off + 8 levels)
• Front Lift Control
• Engine Brake Control
• Adjustable Engine Response
• Throttle Sensitivity (Low / Medium / High)
• Maximum Torque Mapping (Low / Medium / High)
• RPM Limiter
• Cruise Control

Performance Meets Completeness

The Travel Enduro segment continues to experience steady global growth, driven by increasing demand for motorcycles capable of combining long-distance touring comfort, everyday usability, and authentic off-road capability.

Within this dynamic market environment, the Enduro Veloce distinguishes itself through a clear philosophy: performance meets completeness. Rather than fragmenting value across optional packages, MV Agusta delivers a unified product concept — premium components, advanced electronics, striking design, and high-performance engineering in a single, coherent offering.

The Enduro Veloce embodies a straightforward promise: a fully equipped Travel Enduro designed for riders who expect excellence without compromise. In line with this philosophy, the Enduro Veloce features as standard:

• Aluminum panniers with mounting frame
• Protection bars
• Fog lights
• Central stand
• Bridgestone AT41

The race-derived potential of the KTM 990 RC R has already been felt on the road but this thrilling chameleon has changed its form: the KTM 990 RC R TRACK has arrived, and is a stripped-back, souped-up adrenaline monster primed for circuit use. This machine is desperate for speed and hungry for a target.

Almost everything about the new KTM 990 RC R TRACK can be determined by numbers. 

0: compromises for a pure-bred non-street legal supersport motorcycle. Lights, mirrors, side-stand and other street requirements are gone, replaced by a high value - but also entry-level friendly – race-ready configuration. Low maintenance, easy to repair and detailed dealer support are other characteristics. More examples? The fairing is made from injected plastic for personal decals and graphics. The windscreen is a bit higher for a full tuck position. There is a wet weather taillight and paddock stand supplied as standard while the controls and dash have been simplified for the track. 

2: Michelin Power Slick tires in sizes 120/70-R17 and 190/55-R17 for the track. As well as fully adjustable, state-of-the-art WP APEX suspension carrying settings that have been honed through bounteous testing laps around some of the most prominent motorsport circuits in Europe. 

3: Track Modes. The KTM 990 RC R TRACK shaves two kilos through a more compact electronics system. Racers can set-up their bike to harness the most of their tires, power and fuel and for the demands of a session through three easily customizable Track Modes. There are possibilities for: Throttle Response, Motorcycle Traction Control, Slip adjustment, Anti Wheelie Mode, Launch Control and Engine Brake. Also count on a Pit limiter, Quickshifter+ and all the lap information needed through a sharp 4.2” full color TFT. 

(RC)16: KTM’s MotoGP™ top speed record holder was the inspiration and the foil for the KTM 990 RC R TRACK’s aerodynamic profile. Wings and edges have been sculpted for the best downforce and corner performance for entry, grip and stability on acceleration. The 15.7 liter fuel tank and reworked seat (857 mm height) are key areas of the sporty ergonomics with six useful contact points to allow the rider to glide around the motorcycle with ease but also with attacking purpose. 

320: mm of the Brembo HyPure front disc with next generation of the 4-piston engineering, meaning a more linear feel, a constant pressure point, less lever pull, and better modulation. A 240 mm rear disc complements the system that is also sports-orientated and upgraded for performance compared to the ABS-modulated outfit for the KTM 990 RC R. 

947: cc of torque-filled blast. The KTM 990 RC R TRACK boosts the numbers to 135 PS (99.3 kW) and 105 Nm of grunt at 7000 rpm. It all comes from a parallel twin DOHC LC8c engine that already makes the KTM 990 RC R one of the most compact packages on the market and one of the best for power-to-weight. The Akrapovič Evolution line exhaust system, made from stainless steel and weighing just 3 kg hones the 98.2 dB output further as riders thunder through the racing gearbox (longer first and shorter sixth). 

The KTM 990 RC R TRACK was unveiled at the 2025 launch of its sister model, the same time that KTM announced the KTM 990 RC R CUP: a cost-controlled, professionally organized six-round European race series for real riders (not Pros!). Participants have the extra bonus of receiving their KTM 990 RC R TRACK motorcycles first! Find out more information HERE. The KTM 990 RC R TRACK is the ultimate refined – but still unfiltered – motorcycle for circuit thrills and for abuse of the stopwatches. 

“The beauty of the KTM 990 RC R was the ease with which we could make only a few adjustments and have the KTM 990 RC R TRACK ready to go,” says KTM Head of Global Marketing Riaan Neveling. “Our history and achievements on the asphalt informed a lot of the KTM 990 RC R TRACK and the KTM 990 RC R range. We took on this project knowing that we wanted to send our customers heartrates’ racing as well! That was the goal, and the KTM 990 RC R TRACK is our best definition of a sportsbike yet. We hope to see as many of them as possible through apexes of the KTM 990 RC R CUP!” 

WP is proud to introduce a range of high-performance braking solutions, with a total of 19 all-new components in the pipeline, redefining precision and control at a high-performance OEM level. 

WP has long been a leader in Suspension Technology, having developed and produced many high-quality OEM components for KTM and other high-end brands. Now, WP takes the next step with the launch of WP Braking Systems. 

Combining cutting-edge technology with advanced materials, WP Brakes deliver unmatched reliability on the road and track, born out of a need for a high-performance braking system that was tailored to the specific OEM needs of KTM Motorcycles. 

A highly skilled team of 11 experts, each with over 20 years of experience in brake development, forms the core of operations. Equipped with state-of-the-art testing and prototyping facilities, the team specializes in advanced engineering, CAD design, supplier development, and full validation processes at a 6,000 sqm SOP-ready plant. 

With full vertical integration – from hose braiding and extrusion to machining and assembly – the facility ensures the highest standards of quality and efficiency, further enhanced by an exclusive 100 m anodizing line for premium surface treatments and cosmetic finishes, to deliver 300,000 brake systems and 1.5 million hoses annually. 

This in-house development process has also allowed for a renewed focus on design, with weight and heat management at the core. This has been done to ensure maximum performance under high stress, utilizing the highest quality materials – effectively bestowing big-bike braking performance onto smaller engine classes. 

Of those components, a new Radial Master Cylinder will also bring race-level technology to the smaller engine classes, featuring rear floating calipers with open-bridge cooling, oversized pads, and service-friendly designs for easier maintenance. 

An all-new, lightweight four-piston WP Front Radial Caliper weighing in at only 740 g – one of the lightest on the market – will feature a central bridge structure, designed to be as stiff and compact as possible. 

Thanks to this optimization of the caliper stack-up, a narrower body width is achieved, making the radial caliper compatible with spoked wheel applications, as well as featuring die-cast aluminum bodies, hard-anodized coated aluminum pistons, EPDM square and dust seal, and sintered or organic brake pads.​ 

WP braking systems will also feature braided hoses as OEM equipment, making use of high-quality Polytetrafluoroethylene​ (PTFE) able to withstand pressures of up to 40 bar. This not only provides riders with a sporty feel on the brakes, but also improves responsiveness and control lap after lap, corner after corner. 

In designing these components, special attention has also been given to reducing drag torque, optimizing motorcycle performance, while minimizing fuel consumption, and pad wear. 

This new generation of WP braking technology underscores WP’s commitment to high-end motorcycle components, delivering lighter weight, higher efficiency, improved cooling, and absolute reliability for the next era of motorcycle performance – from the racetrack to the street.

Yamaha Motor Europe is thrilled to announce the landmark signing of five-time FIM Motocross World Champion Tim Gajser, who will join the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP team for the 2026 MXGP season and beyond.

The 29-year-old Slovenian will campaign a factory YZ450FM alongside Maxime Renaux, forming one of the strongest rider lineups in recent history. Gajser brings a staggering record of success and experience to the Yamaha family, having already established himself as one of the most decorated riders of his generation. His résumé features five FIM Motocross World Titles, with 97 race wins and 52 Grand Prix victories contributing to a remarkable total of 125 podium finishes.

Gajser’s career is a testament to his exceptional pedigree. After a dominant ascent through the European ranks, he clinched the MX2 World Title in 2015. He made history the very next year, stepping up to the premier MXGP class to win the World Championship as a rookie—becoming the only rider to secure back-to-back MX2 and MXGP titles in less than 12 months.

Known as ‘Tiga’ to his fans, Tiga solidified his elite status with back-to-back MXGP crowns in 2019-2020 and a fifth world title in 2022. After securing a runner-up finish in 2024, he continued his relentless form by starting the 2025 season with breathtaking speed. The Slovenian ace built a commanding lead with three Grand Prix wins and a 100% podium record before a fall at round six halted his charge. In a clear display of his dominance, he still held the championship lead for 10 rounds even while sidelined.

Now fully recovered and with his sights firmly set on the future, Gajser is more motivated than ever. He joins Yamaha with a clear objective: to add more world titles to his legacy.

Tim Gajser

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP rider

"I’m really excited to join the Yamaha family. After more than a decade with the same brand, it's exciting to be entering a new chapter in 2026, and a change like this brings fresh motivation. I can't wait to get on the new bike! My first priority will be getting comfortable with it as quickly as possible. Not being able to ride until the new year gives us limited time to prepare—but honestly, I’m looking forward to the challenge. Once the season begins, the most important thing is to stay healthy, be in good shape, and enjoy the racing. I'm ready to give it my all and hope we can fight for the title.”

As part of its company-wide environmental goals, Yamaha Motor is committed to achieving carbon neutrality across the entire product lifecycle – including manufacturing and business operations – by 2050. To realise this goal, the company will continue to promote the research and development of various technologies that contribute to sustainability, including electrification, and pursue carbon neutrality through a multi-pathway approach. As part of this strategy, and with the PTW market constantly evolving, Yamaha is continuously monitoring the market acceptance and technological progress of EV solutions.

Regardless of technology, Yamaha's core philosophy is to enrich people's lives with powered vehicles that rev their hearts and provide the very best riding experience possible. With this ethos in clear focus, Yamaha embraces the challenge of not just developing EV-powered solutions, but ensuring that they also offer the same satisfaction and excitement that Yamaha riders are accustomed to.

Throughout its 70-year history, Yamaha has always used motorsport as its testing laboratory to evaluate and mature technologies – a strategy that has resulted in numerous technical breakthroughs and innovations.

Following successful participation in the EV class of the FIM Trial World Championship with the electric prototype TY-E, as well as participation in the Formula E championship, Yamaha is now ready to take the next step to obtain valuable experience from electric motocross championship MXEP with the YE-01 Racing Concept. 

The objective of racing the YE-01 Racing Concept in MXEP is to strengthen and deepen Yamaha’s technical expertise as well as rider experience, and provide valuable data, knowledge and understanding for the future.

To develop the YE-01 Racing Concept for this activity, Yamaha Motor is collaborating with Electric Motion (EM), Yamaha's strategic partner since November 2024, following Yamaha Motor's investment in EM. At its heart, the partnership aims to connect the respective expertise and capabilities of Yamaha and EM to further explore EV-based technologies.

Since its founding in 2009, France-based EM has increased its presence in the offroad world with a range of electric offroad and trial models. EM's products have achieved spectacular results in the Trial World Championship, the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup — the world's premier electric offroad motorcycle racing series — and other events.

YE-01 Racing Concept

Yamaha and EM are delighted to present one of their first collaboration projects: The YE-01 Racing Concept, an EV-based motocross racer.

The YE-01 Racing Concept is a live project and will be further developed with the aim of participating in the new electric motocross category, MXEP, that will be part of the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar in the future. This MXEP class will showcase prototype electric bikes across several rounds in Europe, running alongside MXGP events.

The YE-01 Racing Concept merges advanced technologies from both Yamaha and EM.

To ensure it delivers the praised Yamaha riding feeling — a feeling of control and stability — the YE-01 Racing Concept benefits from the latest spec, best-in-class chassis shared with the 2026 YZ450F. 

The KYB fully-adjustable speed-sensitive front suspension and rear shock are also shared with the YZ450F and provide exceptional contact and absorption — enabling the rider to race harder and longer, again bringing the ride experience as close to the Yamaha MX production bikes as possible. Meanwhile, taking further design cues from the latest YZ450F, the compact, slim and smooth body and flat seat allow the rider to move freely and comfortably on the bike.

Developed specifically for motocross, the YE-01 Racing Concept features a liquid-cooled electric powertrain, capable to offer MXGP levels of power. To bring the electric power delivery as close as possible to the Yamaha ride feel, the motor is paired with a hydraulic clutch, while the battery location ensures an optimised centre of gravity, much like the reverse-head engine layout in the YZ450F does. Again, following the example of Yamaha's production bikes, further enhancements to the ride are available through power modes and rider aids, such as traction control, to enable ideal setup for any racing conditions and to gain maximum power, traction and feel in any situation.

The development of the YE-01 Racing Concept will continue and various tests will be performed with Yamaha's Motocross Test Riders as the project evolves in preparation for the start of the MXEP championship.
