The Cycra Powerflow Intake Shrouds are the next performance leap in technology for the Yamaha YZ450. These intake shrouds improve the airflow to the airbox by a whooping 40%. This eliminates the throttle lag off the bottom and allows the motor to run freer. This is done by increasing the volume and using Cycra's patented venturi effect scoops that pump air into the airbox.
The shrouds have gone through extensive testing with the Factory Yamaha Race Team. From the racers' input Cycra has slimmed and simplified the shrouds to a clean one-piece design instead of the complex two-piece unit. The slimmer shrouds give the riders improved feel of the bike with a smooth outer shell.
The simpler shrouds improve the ability to maintain the airbox with fewer fasteners and pieces while saving weight.
Even with all these updates, most aftermarket graphics will fit the shrouds with little or no modification. The Smooth surface makes decals easier to apply and resists pealing.
The patented Cycra Powerflow Technology dramatically reduces Radiator, Fuel Tank and Engine Head Temperatures. Cycra's Powerflow airflow scoops bypass the radiators and deliver cool air to the cylinder heads and fuel tank. The bypass airflow around the radiators uses the venturi effect that actually pulls the air from behind. This kind of technology has been only used on aircraft and Formula One race cars.

The guys at Cycra will never be content to simply replicate a stock plastic part; they simply won't produce something unless it is lighter, more affordable, stronger than stock or better performing. In the case of the Powerflow Intake Radiator Shrouds, they have a distinct performance-enhancing design, as the injection-molded shrouds have specially designed air scoops that are claimed to reduce operating temperatures by six degrees.
As all of Cycra's plastic does, the Powerflow Intake Radiator Shrouds bolt on perfectly. Our biggest gripe about the stock Yamaha YZF shrouds is that they are too short, and our boots tend to get hung up on the tops of them in corners that require aggressive body English. The Yamaha versions of the Powerflow shrouds feature a small extension at the top of the shroud, and although it is still possible to get hung up on them, the chances are greatly reduced. We weren't actually able to detect a drop in operating temperatures, but who are we to argue? One thing is for sure: the extra plastic in the scoop area helps strengthen the integrity of the shroud itself. We know-we crash test everything!
Aftermarket graphics will not fit perfectly and need to be trimmed slightly.
The Cycra Powerflow Intake Radiator Shrouds work better than stock and cost less. What are you waiting for?
