Episode Details

KTM riders are experiencing a decline in their bikes top speed, as observed in the first three rounds of the 2026 MotoGP season. While their cornering has improved, the straight-line speed that once set them apart has diminished. This shift is attributed to teams focusing on aerodynamics, electronics, and ride height during the engine freeze. KTMs top speed has dropped behind Ducati and Aprilia, with riders like Acosta and Binder feeling the impact. Despite this, KTM remains competitive, securing third place in the constructors championship and podium finishes.
