As well as the new engine, the latest XSR900 gets the cast alloy Deltabox frame from the MT-09, with varying wall thickness to help get the best mix of weight, flex, and rigidity. It also uses the same spin-forged wheels that first arrived on the MT-09, reducing both rotating and unsprung mass for a boost in performance and handling. The bike is lighter than its predecessor, with a measured curb weight of 428 pounds.
