DescriptionThe whole story▼
If you ride your Yamaha YZF-R1 or R1M on both road and track, the last thing you want is stone chips, scratches or daily wear quietly degrading that tank. The Carbonin CY16505 carbon tank guard gives you practical, long-lasting protection straight out of the box — fitting precisely to the YZF-R1 and R1M from 2015 through 2026 with no modification required.
Key Features
- Genuine carbon fibre construction delivers outstanding resistance to chips, abrasion and minor impacts without adding bulk.
- Precision-engineered fitment for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M (2015-2026) — hugs the tank contours exactly as Carbonin intended.
- Reduces weight compared with conventional plastic or painted tank protectors, keeping your build lean.
- Straightforward installation that clips into place quickly, so you spend less time in the garage and more time riding.
- Extends the working life of your tank finish by shielding it from road debris and everyday handling wear.
- The natural carbon weave finish complements the R1's aggressive bodywork without looking out of place on a street-registered bike.
Built for Everyday Use and Track Days Alike
Carbonin produces this tank guard in the same high-grade carbon fibre used across their full fairing range, so the material quality is not a weekend-only proposition. The weave is clear-coated for durability against UV exposure, fuel splashes and the general punishment a road bike accumulates over months of commuting and weekend blasts. On track it does the same job — keeping the tank surface intact through the kneedown laps where fuel tank contact is constant.
Why Carbonin
Carbonin is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the superbike paddock for carbon components that are both race-proven and road-practical. The CY16505 is a direct-fit accessory, not a universal cut-to-fit sheet, which means the edge finish, mounting points and overall profile are all specific to the YZF-R1 platform. You get the cleaner result and the faster fit that a dedicated part always delivers.
Fitment and Compatibility
This tank guard is designed exclusively for the following models:
- Yamaha YZF-R1 — 2015 to 2026
- Yamaha YZF-R1M — 2015 to 2026
If your model year falls within this range, the CY16505 is a direct fit requiring no cutting or adaptation.
