2026 Honda CBR1000RR-R

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

Since its introduction in 1992, Honda’s iconic Fireblade has evolved into an incredible 1000cc sports motorcycle, considered the top sportsbike in our lineup. It leans on the engine and chassis technology of the RC213V-S ‘street-legal MotoGP machine’, with aerodynamics drawn from the RC213V MotoGP bike. The Fireblade is designed for pure, outright track performance.

Valvetrain Upgrades

More torque at low revs means better drive out of corners, so our engineers focused on the shape of the piston and connecting rod, while optimizing valve timing to help prioritize combustion consistency and thereby exhaust efficiency at lower revs. The bridged-box design of the piston uses a reinforcing structure between the skirt and the wrist-pin bosses that helps enable a high redline. Big torque down low, huge power up top. A winning formula.

Twin DSFI Motors

For ultimate control of the intake charge, the Dual Stage Fuel Injection system now employs two motors to open and close the throttle-body valves. One motor controls the intakes for cylinders 1 and 2, the other controls the intakes for cylinders 3 and 4. This allows finer control of the fuel-injection system, and thereby smoother transition between acceleration and deceleration. In other words, a more rider-friendly powerband.

Akrapovic Exhaust

The 4-2-1 exhaust downpipes have optimized diameters and oval cross section to improve gas flow. The smaller, lightweight titanium exhaust muffler was developed in conjunction with Akrapovic, to help deliver both low-RPM torque and high-RPM power; a valve stopper helps stop exhaust-gas leak when closed while also reducing noise, allowing the mufflers total internal volume to be reduced by 38%.
