Red Bull KTM Factory Racing launches 2026 MotoGP campaign

Orange, blue, speed and go: Red Bull KTM officially pushes its teams and riders into play for 2026 with the official unveiling of the livery and partners for the MotoGP season ahead.

2026 represents the tenth year of elite level world championship Grand Prix racing for Red Bull KTM. The line-up of Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales for Red Bull KTM Tech3 head into the fierce heat of MotoGP competition this term with the latest (and last) iteration of the KTM RC16 within the guidelines of the current technical rulebook.

Red Bull KTM will aim high for 2026 and have re-touched arguably the most distinctive race livery on the MotoGP grid for the new assault on the timing screens. Numbers will define the campaign: the milliseconds on the track, the hours of work by dedicated team staff, the days of planning by factory engineers and the weeks of strategy to get ahead of the game both for 2026 and with a view to the next generation of MotoGP racing machinery.

Brad Binder
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing:

“It’s been a great off-season. I took a couple weeks off and got a lot of riding done, a lot of cycling. I’m looking forward to a fresh start again this season and hopefully we can get back to the performances I know I’m capable of. MotoGP is tough: if you look at the lap times and there’s almost nothing in it, but the way every single rider does it is always different. Some on the brakes, some on throttle, some completely different riding styles. Last year I felt like I was thinking the whole time on the motorbike, instead of letting just my natural ability take over and that’s one thing that I want to change for this season. Just really enjoy riding the bike a bit more. I’m quite confident that I can make a good step up.”
