DescriptionThe whole story

Carbonin's STD seat for the Yamaha YZF-R1/M RN65 carries the Italian manufacturer's decades-long racing heritage into every detail. Finished in clean black with a purposeful, track-honed silhouette, it pairs seamlessly with Carbonin's own race fairings and brings a cohesive, competition-ready aesthetic to the R1 or R1M without compromise.

Key Features

  • Neoprex textile upper surface delivers confident grip under braking, through corners, and during sustained track sessions.
  • Avio Fiber base plate provides exceptional rigidity and resistance to deformation even under extreme racing loads.
  • Black finish integrates naturally with Carbonin race fairings and the majority of competition liveries.
  • Engineered specifically for Carbonin race fairing kits fitted to the Yamaha YZF-R1/M RN65, ensuring a precise, rattle-free fit.
  • Available in Short (FM1950YS) and Long (FM1950YL) variants to suit different rider proportions and riding positions.
  • Constructed to the standards expected of Supersport and Superbike competition use.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Carbonin has been supplying race teams and serious trackday riders since the days when carbon composite bodywork was the preserve of factory squads alone. That heritage is reflected in the STD seat's uncluttered design: no superfluous stitching, no decorative foam, just a taut Neoprex textile surface that means business. The matte black aesthetic is deliberately understated — the kind of finish that looks at home on a pit-lane machine as much as on a privately entered R1M.

The Avio Fiber base plate is the structural backbone of the seat. Unlike conventional plastic pans, Avio Fiber resists flex under lateral load, which means the seat stays planted in its mounts during the aggressive weight transfers that characterise modern Supersport riding. The result is a unit that feels like part of the motorcycle rather than an accessory bolted onto it.

Performance on Track

Where a standard OEM seat prioritises comfort across a wide range of riders, the Carbonin STD seat is optimised for a single purpose: keeping the rider connected to the machine. The Neoprex textile grips race leathers and textile suits alike, reducing unwanted movement under braking and mid-corner. Riders who spend long stints on circuit will appreciate how the surface maintains its grip characteristics even as temperatures build through a session.

The choice between Short and Long variants allows the seat to be matched to rider stature and preferred seating position. The Short variant suits riders who prefer a more aggressive, forward-leaning posture, while the Long variant gives additional support for those who carry a more upright position or require extra reach rearward on the seat.

Fitment and Compatibility

This seat is designed for use with Carbonin race fairings fitted to the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M in the RN65 generation, covering model years 2020 through to 2026. It is not intended as a direct drop-in replacement for the OEM seat on a stock-bodied machine; its design assumes the Carbonin fairing seat unit geometry.
