KTM to start 2025 Motogp Motorcycles build next week
KTM technical leader Wolfgang Felber said that “everything is going as normal lately” in relation to KTM’s arrangements for the 2025 MotoGP season.
Austrian society is facing a long dubious career in MotoGP, while the company is coming through a currency crisis, which has triggered a restructuring process.
A report from the first creditors hearing also stated that a withdrawal from grand prix racing is “planned” for KTM, though it will carry on as normal in 2025.
KTM’s Racing Department also acted on a hundred-issue plan aimed at reducing expenses in the Company’s existing monetary upheavals, which includes the alleviation of its factory involvement in disciplines.
For 2025, it will field four factory KTMs in MotoGP spread across its works team and Tech3 for Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder, Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini.
In an interview with German publication Speedweek, Felber presented a progression over KTM’s arrangements in 2025.
“With regard to arrangements for the new season, everything is happening lately as usual,” he said.
“In recent years we have trimmed all processes so that we build the new machines in the third week of the year.
“It will be the same in 2025. Next Monday we will start rebuilding all the motorcycles.
“Everything is timed so that at the end of the week we will patch the boxes for the big ones in Sepang.
“Since then, motorcycles have been on the road for a long time. The cars will arrive in Munderfing back for the European season opener at Jerez.
There have already been rumors that KTM will make any progression on its 2025 motorcycle due to its non -stop monetary crisis.
While Felber stops short of admitting this, he notes the 2025 prototype “worked as hoped” in testing last year and “has been defined” as the base bike.
“Obviously we are talking about an evolutionary style in 2025,” he added.
“A radical new technique was out of the question. We already had our genuine Shakedown the last tests in 2024.
“The 2025 edition worked as expected and the base has been defined. The plan now is to build all machines accordingly with new pieces.
“There are differences in ergonomics, which are different for all cyclists, such as in the responses to work the rear brake.
“We can also take on existing portions at low mileage. This makes sense to throw away a handlebar heel that represents only a few kilometers. »»
