3 reasons to get excited about Red Bull KTM & MotoGP™ in 2026

MotoGP , as we currently know it, is on the cusp of change. The multi-million euro, Michelin-shod 1000cc prototype motorcycles - angular, aerodynamic and loaded with performance enhancing devices and engineering - will be constrained to history come November 2026. 850s, new tires, simpler tech, more rider emphasis will steer the championship into the future from 2027.

2026 is the year of transition. Where the development of tomorrow takes even more prominence with the challenge of obtaining results today.

KTM and MotoGP is a story of will, and thirst for achievement since the days of the first designs and rolling chassis in 2015. The narrative includes a first podium at the end of the second season of racing, a win by the fourth, evolution of a platform that embraced an all-carbon chassis, Red Bull Advanced Technologies aero collaboration, and lifted two different riders to P4 in the championship standings. Oh, there was also the matter of the 366.1 kmph all-time top speed record as well; set at the same circuit but on two different days in two different years and by two riders.
