The dedicated Deltabox chassis weighs 21.3
pounds, a 10 percent reduction over the MT-09's.
The wheelbase is also slightly shorter as well
at 55.9 inches to the MT-09's 56.7 inches.
Despite this, the R9 is incredibly stable,
especially under brakes. Yamaha has finally
ditched the Advic brakes for Brembo Stylema
monoblocs with steel braided lines, and the
improvement to braking performance is
out-of-sight (at least Yamaha is now on par
with pretty much everyone else).
