DescriptionThe whole story▼
Spending hours in the saddle on a focused supersport calls for every detail to work in your favour. The Puig rear seat cowl for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M RN65 (2020–2026) delivers exactly that — a monoposto tail unit with 4 mm neoprene foam padding at the front section that cushions and supports you through long riding days, while simultaneously transforming your R1's rear end with an aggressive, MotoGP-inspired silhouette.
Key Features
- Integrated 4 mm neoprene foam padding at the front of the cowl for improved rider comfort and grip during sustained sport riding
- Two fitment configurations available — single-piece for clean, sharp lines, or two-piece MotoGP-style for a particularly aggressive, aerodynamically optimised profile
- Internal air channels reduce turbulence at the tail and smooth airflow at high speed
- Plug-and-play installation using the original seat mounts — no drilling, no cutting, no specialist tools required
- Replaces the pillion seat in approximately 10–15 minutes, restoring a pure solo riding focus
- Available in matte black ABS plastic (REF. 20703J) or 3 mm carbon-look finish (REF. 20703C), manufactured to Puig Hi-Tech plastics standards
Comfort and Control on the Road and Track
The neoprene padding integrated into the leading edge of this seat cowl is not a cosmetic detail — it is there to stop you sliding forward under hard braking and to reduce fatigue during extended stints. Whether you are threading through a mountain pass or completing back-to-back track sessions, that small foam layer makes a genuine difference to how settled and supported you feel. The cowl's interior air channels complement this by managing rear-end turbulence, keeping aerodynamic forces predictable and reducing buffeting at motorway and track speeds.
Two Configurations, One Goal
Puig designed this tail unit to offer two distinct visual and aerodynamic setups. In the single-piece configuration, the cowl presents clean, uninterrupted lines — a subtle but purposeful monoposto look. Switch to the two-piece MotoGP-style arrangement and the character shifts entirely: sharper, more sculpted, and clearly informed by the race machinery you see in the premier class. You choose how radically your R1 presents itself.
Fitment and Compatibility
This Puig rear seat cowl is engineered specifically for the following models:
- Yamaha YZF-R1 RN65 — model years 2020 to 2026
- Yamaha YZF-R1M RN65 — model years 2020 to 2026
The unit replaces the standard pillion seat and uses the factory seat mounts directly. No modification to the subframe or bodywork is required.
