Rapid intensification ensued, and Bavi became a super typhoon less than a day later as a Category 5-equivalent typhoon according to the JTWC. An eyewall replacement cycle ensued causing some slight weakening overnight on July 4, but the typhoon quickly re-strengthened the following day before it made landfall on Rota in Northern Mariana Islands at peak intensity; the JMA estimated maximum sustained winds of 205 km/h (125 mph) and a central pressure of 910 hPa (27 inHg), while the JTWC assessed peak 1-minute sustained winds of 285 km/h (180 mph) and central pressure of 901 hPa (26.6 inHg).
