DescriptionThe whole story

Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium and finished in a resilient powder-coat, the DB Holders subframe is a statement of race-focused engineering that honours the lineage of the Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M. Where the standard OEM rear frame carries unnecessary mass, this precision-made replacement strips roughly 25% of that weight away — sharpening the chassis response that has made the R1 a fixture on race grids across three generations of RN32, RN49 and RN65 machines.

Key Features

  • Approximately 25% lighter than the OEM subframe, reducing unsprung and overall chassis mass for more agile handling
  • Hand-crafted from aerospace aluminium alloy — exceptional strength-to-weight ratio without compromise
  • Powder-coated finish available in black (SKU: 11/10/15/50) or silver (SKU: 11/10/15/50S) for long-lasting corrosion resistance
  • OEM-identical dimensions retain the standard battery and fuse box positions — no rewiring or relocation required
  • Exact OEM profile makes it eligible for race classes requiring production-specification subframes
  • Significantly more cost-effective than sourcing a genuine Yamaha replacement subframe

Design, Finish and Heritage

DB Holders has built its reputation supplying Italian and international race teams with components that blend meticulous fabrication with purposeful aesthetics. This subframe is no exception. Each unit is hand-formed from a high-tensile aerospace aluminium alloy, then powder-coated — a process that delivers a uniform, chip-resistant surface that holds its appearance through the heat and vibration of sustained track use. The choice between a clean gloss black and a cool brushed-effect silver allows teams to coordinate with their R1's livery without reaching for a rattle can.

The geometry mirrors the OEM part exactly. That precision is not incidental — it means the standard Yamaha battery tray and fuse box drop straight into their factory positions, eliminating the adaptation work that often accompanies aftermarket subframes and keeping scrutineering straightforward.

Track Performance

A reduction of around 25% in subframe mass translates directly into a more responsive rear end. With less inertia behind the swingarm pivot, direction changes feel crisper and chassis feedback through corners is more immediate. For riders competing in production-based endurance or sprint classes, this subframe satisfies regulations that mandate OEM-profile rear frames while still delivering a meaningful performance advantage over the standard steel or cast alloy component.

Important Notice

This subframe is designed exclusively for competition use. It does not include mounting points for pillion footpegs or any road-going accessories. It is not approved for use on public roads.
