KTM and Red Bull keep the fast wheels rolling on their MotoGP story after fresh contract tie-up.
This is a press release from KTM…
KTM’s prototype MotoGP Grand Prix motorcycles will continue to proudly carry the famous Red Bull logo and livery from 2027 after a contract renewal between the two renowned Austrian brands.
“Red Bull KTM” has a long and decorated racing history that spans a quarter of a century, multiple disciplines and a vast list of success and titles, from motocross to supercross to enduro to Dakar and rally and—from 2017—MotoGP.
For the last decade Red Bull KTM livered machinery has taken championships in Moto3 and Moto2 and earned wins and podiums in all three categories: 7 victories and 38 podiums (26 Sprint podiums as well) in MotoGP with the KTM RC16. Red Bull and KTM have combined to great effect for the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and the breeding ground for talent of the future as well as the KTM GP Academy structure through the levels of Grand Prix.
2027 will mark a new era for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in MotoGP and for the series itself with an overhaul of the technical regulations. The relationship between KTM and Red Bull has always been very fluid and mutually supportive, and the orange Red Bull bikes will once again be an unmistakable component of the MotoGP grid.
Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director: “Red Bull and KTM just go together. It has been a great partnership for so long and is much more than just the colors of the bikes. Red Bull support us in many ways, both at the track and behind-the-scenes. It is an important collaboration, and it makes us all very happy at the factory that we can keep on bringing this Austrian ‘show’ to our racing and to MotoGP especially. We want to give all the thanks possible to the people involved to keep this story moving. We still have plenty to achieve together.”
