Last week, Aprilia showcased a new engine and a new chassis at the official MotoGP test in Misano, looking ahead to the 2024 season. Paolo Bonora, the race manager, discussed these innovations.
Regarding the engine, the engineer explained to SPEEDWEEK.com that the focus lies in the power: ‘It’s more about more power over the entire speed range, from the very bottom to peak power. After all, all riders still want more power – in every area, that’s for sure. At the bottom, in the middle and at the very top’.
As for the chassis, Bonora said Aprilia looks for a stable bike: ‘When it comes to the chassis, our main goal is to make the bike more stable during the braking phase. In addition, we want to get better handling when changing direction’.
