Le Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team, incubated by the French structure Tech3 of Hervé Poncharal, presented this Thursday the new RC16, which will be driven by a new and explosive duo Brad Binder / Jack Miller.

An evolution of the 2022 model, the RC16 for the 2023 season is distinguished by a reworked exhaust and major aerodynamic work on the fairing. The assembly should receive other appendages before the Sepang tests such as front wings and saddle backrest fins. 



For the 2023 season, Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing welcomes Jack “Trhiller” Miller alongside Brad Binder. The whimsical Australian has signed up with the Austrian manufacturer for two years. After five seasons spent in the Ducati clan, it is something of a return home for Miller who finished runner-up in Moto3 in 2014 with KTM Ajo.

Jack Miller: “My integration into KTM went perfectly. I've been thinking about it for a while and here I am wearing these colors. It's great to be back and see everyone again. This is a little taste of what awaits us at Sepang. »

2023 will be Binder's ninth season with the Red Bull KTM family, his fourth in the premier division. A pure product of the KTM industry, the South African saw his 2022 season marked by three podiums and a fine sixth place in the general classification.

Brad Binder: “The off-season seems endless to me, I can't wait to get back on the track! This is my fourth year in this category and I think our chances have never been better. I feel ready. Let's head to Sepang to see what the first tests have in store for us. »

MotoGP legend Dani Pedrosa and Mika Kallio will serve as development riders for the Team. During this presentation, KTM confirmed its commitment to MotoGP until 2026.
