Let’s see if the Philippines market will be offered in single or multiple variants. Suspension duties are handled by 41mm Kayaba forks at the front and preload-adjustable shock at the rear. YZF-R3 misses on the USD forks, which are found in the models within a lower price range. The front has a 110/70 R17 tyres while the rear features 140/70/ R17. The overall kerb weight of the bike measures 166.9 kg (without ABS) and 170 kg (with ABS).

As the 2018 YZF-R3 lacks major updates in terms of design and performance, it will be interesting to see how it take on the likes of its competitors in the global market.
