The arrival of Monster Energy as sponsor in 2009 gave the Tech3 bikes a bold black, white and fluorescent yellow scheme that stood out on the grid. This Tamiya model reproduces that season's styling in a compact 1/12 scale format, suited to display and diorama work.
The kit accurately models the twin-tube delta box frame and the 800cc inline-4 engine, providing convincing mechanical detail. Vinyl tubing is supplied for realistic brake, clutch and throttle lines, and synthetic rubber tyres complete the true-to-scale appearance. Builders can remove side panels and the fuel tank cover to view the internal assemblies.
Modelers seeking more realism can add the Yamaha YZR-M1 '09 Front Fork Set (Item 12636) to depict compressed suspension. Cartograph decals are provided to replicate the Tech3 livery with crisp graphics.
