DescriptionThe whole story▼
Carbonin's SBK tank cover for the Yamaha YZF-R1/M is built to the same exacting standards used in World Superbike competition. Crafted from high-grade carbon fibre and supplied with an integrated tank extension, this fairing piece sharpens the aerodynamic profile of the R1 while simultaneously stripping unnecessary weight from the airframe — a combination that translates directly into sharper handling and greater stability at racing speeds.
Key Features
- High-strength carbon fibre construction delivers an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio without sacrificing durability under race conditions.
- SBK-specification profile optimises high-speed aerodynamic stability, reducing lift and turbulence over the tank area.
- Includes an integrated tank extension that completes the aerodynamic envelope and gives a seamless superbike silhouette.
- Precision-engineered fitment for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M (2015–2026), ensuring no modification or trimming is required.
- Weight reduction over the OEM panel contributes to improved responsiveness and reduced rotational mass.
- Developed for professional and serious club-level racers who demand component reliability lap after lap.
Build Quality and Materials
Carbonin has built its reputation supplying bodywork to professional race teams, and the CY16405 tank cover reflects that heritage in every layer. The carbon fibre weave is laid up with consistent fibre orientation to maximise structural integrity, and the resin system used ensures the finished panel remains dimensionally stable even under sustained heat from the engine and ambient track temperatures. The surface finish is clean and ready to run as delivered, whether you choose to leave the weave exposed or apply team livery.
Unlike cheaper aftermarket alternatives, this panel does not rely on flexible plastic inserts or filler to achieve its shape. The geometry is determined entirely by the carbon laminate itself, which means the fit against adjacent bodywork stays tight and rattle-free across a full race distance.
Performance on Track
The SBK designation is not a styling choice — it reflects a profile developed around the aerodynamic regulations and performance requirements of superbike racing. At the speeds the Yamaha YZF-R1 is capable of, even minor improvements to airflow management over the tank region have a measurable effect on rider stability and front-end feel. The extended tank section channels air more efficiently toward the tail section, reducing the turbulence that can unsettle a rider's body position under hard braking and corner entry.
Fitment and Compatibility
This tank cover is designed exclusively for the following models:
- Yamaha YZF-R1 (2015–2026)
- Yamaha YZF-R1M (2015–2026)
The part mounts using the standard OEM fixing points. No additional brackets, spacers or drilling are required for a correct installation.
