The SBK Commission has approved several changes and clarifications to the regulations for the Superbike World Championship, including technical adjustments that impact areas such as aerodynamics.
The same rules applied in MotoGP for aerodynamic appendages and winglets will now be enforced: under normal operating conditions, these aerodynamic elements must have a maximum deflection of 10 millimeters at any point when a vertical load of 50 N is applied downwards with a 20 millimeters radius steel spherical indenter.
Additionally, a fuel flow limit will be introduced to curb engine performance. For 2025, the limit will be set at 47 Kg/H for all manufacturers, with a tolerance of two grams per lap. The limit for 2026 will be determined in July next year based on performance data collected during the first part of the season.
Marking a «virgin» frame part is free, but it must include the model code registered in the FIM homologation of the bike. A new requirement states that the procedure for reading the new marking must be declared by each manufacturer to the FIM Technical Director before the season begins.
