Features

The CBR1000RR Fireblade carries a host of race-developed technological innovations including a PGM-DSFI duel sequential fuel injection system that features two separate sets of injectors programmed to ensure optimal fuel feed combustion efficiency and performance at all engine speeds for true RR experience

NEW THIS YEAR

• CBR has increased-diameter flywheel for more inertia and improved performance
• Redesigned license plate stay for easier removal on track days
• New muffler cover for enhanced appearance

DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT

• Offers the highest levels of outright performance and ride-ability - both on the racetrack and the road
• Lighter than the competition with searing speed and inspirational agility
• Increased safety to already sky-high levels of dynamic ability - without losing any of the Fireblade's razor-sharp edge

STYLING

• The Fireblade's styling reflects the purposeful and minimalist concept of the bike
• Short and compact appearance in the pursuit of optimum mass centralisation
• Front cowl clings closely to the headstock to minimise inertia and maximise aerodynamic efficiency
• Sleek bodywork provides the minimum resistance to the wind at high speeds, while incorporating the rider into an efficient part of the aerodynamic package
• Line beam headlights and dual ram-air intakes complete an ultra-aggressive front end
• At the rear, the underslung exhaust silencer nestles below the engine to contributes to the machine's compact mass centralisation ethos
• Sleek wing-mirror mounted indicators complement the Fireblade's clutter-free design
• Classic Honda Wing emblems on either side of the fuel tank which ooze style, class and traditional Japanese craftsmanship

BRAKES

• Radially-mounted four-piston callipers in a lightweight monoblock configuration
• Six-point floating rotors to provide the rider with huge braking power whilst minimising unsprung weight

EXHAUST

• The low-slung exhaust system of the blade is true to the mass centralisation ethos of the machine
• Provides maximum ground clearance in extreme track riding conditions
• Within the muffler are two exhaust valves which constantly tailor the resonance of the exhaust system to achieve maximum drive and smoothness at all revs
• Valves help to maintain an excellent delivery of progressive torque through the mid range, while also aiding the Fireblade's immense levels of power at full throttle
• Emissions are kept well within regulated limits by Honda's proven HECS3 oxygen-sensing catalyser system which constantly monitors harmful emissions within the exhaust gases and tailors fuelling in order to achieve the most efficient combustion mixture

ENGINE

• Improved power-to-weight ratio is always the focus of this ultimate sports bike
• The Fireblade's power plant delivers an astonishing top-end rush coupled with superb torque through-the-revs drive
• Sleeveless cylinders save weight and allow for a wide-bore, short stroke configuration essential for making high-revving power
• Pistons, cams, valves and cranks are all pared down to the bare minimum weight, while retaining Honda's incontestable reputation for durability
• Innovative Assist Slipper Clutch helps maintain composure while rapidly changing down through the gears
• Honda's clever 'assist' mechanism assures both quicker and more assured clutch reengagement and much lighter and more comfortable clutch actuation in virtually all riding and racing conditions

FRAME

• The Fireblade's aluminium frame combines the essentials of superbike chassis: strength, rigidity and lightness
• Constructed from just four pieces of aluminium
• High-quality suspension components are used to give the Fireblade the ideal balance between comfort and taut road-holding
• The front wheel is held by a high-spec, fully adjustable 43mm inverted HMAS cartridge-type front fork
• At the rear, a handsome gull-wing shape hybrid aluminium swing arm provides the platform for delivering the Fireblade's awesome drive to the road
• The unit is relatively long to give maximum machine stability under power and reduce the tendency to wheelie, while ensuring the Fireblade's legendary agility
• The rear shock e-CABSorber is housed using Honda's pioneering Unit Pro-Link suspension system - as developed in the high-speed laboratory of Honda's MotoGP racing campaign and used by Dani Pedrosa
• Lightweight aluminium three-spoke wheels help to minimise the extremely low unsprung mass of the machine, guaranteeing maximum responsiveness and light handling
• Honda's innovative second-generation HESD Steering Damper mounted under the fuel tank cover that achieves the dual goals of enhancing high-speed stability while allowing light and easy steering at slower speeds
