Marking the 20th anniversary of the CBR series, the 2012 CBR1000RR has been designed with a focus on the ease of handling that is indispensable to a super sport bike. In every aspect, the motorcycle has reached a new level of maturity. The front and rear suspensions, which have a significant impact on handling, have both been given completely new structures. The rear uses a Balance-Free Rear Cushion, in which a valve-less piston slides inside the cylinder, pushing out oil that passes through a separate specialized component to generate damping force. The front uses a Big Piston Front Fork with a larger pressure-receiving area for smoother generation of damping force. The engine features revised fuel injection settings for enhanced control when the throttle starts to open from fully closed, giving riders access to high power with even greater peace of mind.
