2027 Moto2 World Championship: Greater development freedom thanks to Triumph’s 800cc engine

In addition to the changes for MotoGP, the FIM recently announced a regulation amendment for the Moto2 and Moto3 classes. The Grand Prix Commission has taken the following decisions for the lower categories.

In 2027, Triumph will step up its game and introduce a new 800 cc engine for the Moto2 World Championship. The increase in displacement has far-reaching consequences, as chassis manufacturers Kalex, Boscoscuro and Forward will have to adapt their frames. The regulations have now been amended so that all Moto2 teams will start the 2027 season without concessions, with the standings being adjusted for the first time midway through the season. Chassis manufacturers are permitted to make one update during the season, either to the chassis or the swingarm, as pre-season testing opportunities with the new engine and chassis are limited.

The aerodynamic components on the Moto2 bikes will be frozen in line with the 2026 designs, and a limit will be introduced on the number of previously used designs in order to control costs.

Non-fossil fuels in Moto2 and Moto3

The introduction of fuels derived from 100 per cent non-fossil sources in the Moto2 and Moto3 classes will now be implemented for the 2028 season. This is intended to ensure continuity with the introduction of a new engine specification by the official Moto2 supplier, Triumph, in 2027, and the new machines (Yamaha) for the Moto3 class, which will be introduced in 2028.
