PERFORMANCE
RC213V-SPEC BORE AND STROKE
The Fireblade SP’s bore and stroke (81mm x 48.5mm) are the same as our Honda MotoGP Champion RC213V racebike, drawing on our experience with cylinder filling and combustion gathered on the track.
FINGER-FOLLOWER ROCKER ARMS
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP uses finger-follower rocker arms. The design reduces the inertia weight of the valve system by approximately seventy-five percent compared to a shim-and-bucket system and contributes to the Fireblade SP’s higher redline. DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating reduces friction resistance on surfaces sliding against the cam and tappet shim.
INTAKE-PORT SHAPE
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP features intake ports with a special shape to help speed charge velocity. The change gives the engine even better midrange performance, a real benefit when exiting corners.
REFINED AIRBOX SHAPE
Along with the intake-port shape, refinements to the Fireblade SP airbox increase the engine’s midrange power.
SEMI-CAM GEAR TRAIN
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP cam drive uses a shorter chain than previous designs. A gear on the crank drives an intermediary gear/sprocket, which in turn drives the cam chain, thus shortening the overall chain run.
TECHNOLOGY
FULL-COLOR TFT METER
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is equipped with a larger instrument screen and higher resolution than previous CBR models. You can choose from a menu of screen setting options that display the information you want in a format you prefer, with items like engine temperature, riding modes, speedometer and tachometer, shifter setting, ABS level, gear position, remaining fuel, and much more.
TITANIUM CONNECTING RODS
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP uses titanium con rods, and the rod bolts thread directly into the rod body so there’s no separate fastening nut. The design reduces weight by approximately fifty percent compared to a steel rod and is the same design as the RC213V-S rod.
QUICK SHIFTER
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP’s quick shifter is a standard feature. It’s the perfect choice for the track day rider and makes shifting faster than ever.
SMART KEY
Eliminating the traditional keyed ignition not only adds convenience but also lets us streamline the intake ducting for better airflow. Plus, the top triple clamp has that true racebike look.
HANDLING
ÖHLINS SECOND-GENERATION SMART EC SUSPENSION
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP uses an electronically controlled NPX fork manufactured by Öhlins. By adding a pressurized damping system to the Öhlins fork used by the previous CBR1000RR SP, cavitation inside the damper is minimized to stabilize the damping force more and improve bump absorption.
TWIN-SPAR FRAME
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP uses a lightweight aluminum frame with 2mm thick wall sections. This fine-tunes both vertical and torsional rigidity for a better feel and performance.

Conclusion
The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is a precisely constructed declaration of performance, innovation, and pure speed, not simply a motorbike. It represents the pinnacle of Honda’s unwavering quest for racing brilliance, transferred from the racetrack to the road for the true fan. Modern electrical systems govern the 999cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder beast at its heart, which pulses with power. A razor-sharp six-speed transmission, a well-tuned final drive, and this powertrain all work together to create an exciting and responsive riding experience. The Fireblade SP’s sophisticated 43mm Öhlins NPX fork up front features electronic preload, compression, and rebound controls for 4.9 inches of travel.
