2021 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec

Featuring a torquey V-Twin engine., this performance bobber combines old-school soul and modern form.

• Urban Performance Styling

The Bolt® R-Spec is stripped down with minimal chrome, epitomizing the “Urban Performance Bobber” look. The compact chassis proudly showcases the 58 cubic inch (942cc), air-cooled, 60° V-twin sitting at the heart of the bike.

• Rider-Focused Engine

The Bolt R-Spec uses Yamaha's technology to create a riding experience superior to other similarly sized machines. Fuel injection and ignition timing maps have been chosen specifically for this bike to deliver class-leading performance with strong low- and mid-range torque that's sure to bring a smile to every rider’s face.

• Air-Cooled V-Twin

The 58 cubic inch (942cc) engine is an air-cooled SOHC 60° V-twin with four valves per cylinder, a pent-roof shaped combustion chamber and 9.0:1 compression ratio. The engine is designed to provide excellent power and superior low-end torque.

• Low Friction Internals

Special roller-type rocker arms with needle bearings are used to keep friction loss to a minimum, increase durability and help the engine achieve the ideal performance characteristics.

• Advanced Cylinder Design

The pent-roof combustion chamber shape was precisely engineered to direct the fuel/air charge to the center of the piston for more efficient combustion and maximum power. Ceramic-composite plated cylinders provide excellent heat dissipation and reduced oil consumption.

• Handling-Focused Frame

A double-cradle frame enhances city riding enjoyment thanks to the engine mounted to the frame with a rigid mount system that provides precise handling.

• Low Seat Height

The low-set seat is a mere 27.2 inches off the pavement, so most riders can easily put both feet firmly on the ground at a stop, as well as enjoy the great riding position the seat provides.

• Agile Wheelbase

Bolt R-Spec’s short, 61.8-inch wheelbase contributes to the bike’s great handling, providing precise, tight turns in city riding and solid handling on the open road.

• Modern Lighting

LED rear taillight looks cool and adds to the modern bobber appeal.

• Slick Instruments

Compact digital LCD meter assembly provides clean styling with excellent visibility.
