KTM RC16
The KTM RC16 is a prototype grand prix racing motorcycle which was developed to race in the MotoGP series by KTM, starting from the 2017 season.
History
The RC16 made its debut as a wildcard entry at the 2016
Valencian Community Motorcycle Grand Prix with test rider Mika Kallio. For
KTM's return to MotoGP in 2017, their new factory team signed 2009 125cc
runner-up, Brandley Smith and the 2013 Moto2
Champion, Pol
Espargaró from Monster Yamaha Tech3. Their team principals
are Pit Beirer and Aki Ajo who is also Red Bull KTM
Ajo’s team principal.
On November 18, 2018, the RC16 achieved its first ever podium
finish, having finished in 3rd place in the 2018 Valencian Community
motorcycle Grand Prix with Pol
Espargaró, after starting the race from 6th on the grid.[3] Starting
from 2019, the French private team Tech3 became KTM's first
satellite team.
For the 2020 season, KTM completely redesigned the
RC16 chassis based on feedback from development rider Dani Pedrosa. The
upgraded RC16 features a hybrid chassis design (combining elements of twin
spar and trellis frame designs) manufactured from steel, and a
carbon fibre swingarm. In 2020 Brad Binder achieved KTM's
first win as a constructor in the premier MotoGP class at the Czech Grand
Prix.
