KTM RC16 racing motorcycle for MotoGP


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.

Automatic stability control (ASC) is available as an option. Design elements The BMW R nine T has several design elements configured to allow the bike to be easily modified, such as separate engine  and chassis wiring harness  and minimal bolts attaching the rear subframe, tail lights, and headlight.
