Description

TST is home to multiple Yamaha R3 street and race bikes, and after years of riding, it became very apparent that the front of the R3 was in need of a lot of improvement. After the usual suspension upgrades, we still felt like things could be improved upon, so we set our eyes on the triple tree. It started with the 2015-2018 Yamaha R3 and resulted in huge component weight savings and that extra front-end feel we were looking for, then we set our eyes on the 2019+ R3. The updated stock triple tree wasn't proving the same feel that our 2015 R3 outfitted with our TST Triple Tree was providing, so we needed to work our design magic again.

By updating our design to fit the 2019+ R3 and improving upon it with advanced testing and R&D, we were able to achieve a triple tree that retains the OEM level of rigidity in the parallel plane, but relaxed the resistance to lateral forces deep in a corner, therefore providing more grip and allowing more speed. This enables the wheel and tire to follow the pavement with more efficiency, limiting the amount of dynamic force transferred to the chassis, and providing faster cornering speeds than compared to the OEM setup. The CNC machined components weigh less than the OEM setup, and when dealing with race bikes, every ounce counts. The high-grade aluminum features a black anodized finish for a non-reflective characteristic to decrease any sun glare and keep you focused on the race.

Be advised that this is not a piece of bolt-on performance in itself. Great care with the setup of the bike and understanding of racing parameters by the rider has to be exercised for this triple clamp system to be a positive asset. We therefore recommend that only the top-level riders with proper technical crew support consider this upgrade. It is highly recommended to refer to the rule book of the racing organization that this triple clamp system is planned to be used in to ensure conformity to the technical specifications for the classes to be entered.

Installation Requirements: The end user and his/her mechanic assume all responsibility for installation and use of this product. This is experimental technology and is not intended for any individual not willing to assume any and all responsibility and liability associated with the use of this product. A highly skilled and experienced race technician/mechanic adept in such technology should perform the installation and setup of this system. A new bottom steering bearing will be required at the minimum to make this installation. Although standard OEM bearings work fine, we recommend upgrading the bearings to the tapered type, such as All Balls part number 22-1004.
