Moto2's Crossroads: More Chassis Builders or One-Make?
Grand Prix racing is entering a period of change, and the question hanging over Moto2 is whether it follows Moto3 into a single-spec future or opens its paddock to more competition. For now, however, the answer from Triumph, the class's exclusive engine supplier, is that the current formula stays intact through at least 2029.
Moto2 is at a crossroads as it decides whether to follow Moto3 into a single-spec future or allow for more chassis builders. Triumph, the exclusive engine supplier for Moto2, has confirmed that the current formula will stay intact until at least 2029, with the engine gaining displacement and shedding weight from 2027. Moto2's current chassis is sourced from the open market, with 28 motorcycles spread across Kalex, Boscoscuro, and Forward.
The next step remains uncertain, but leaders hope for a direct feeder series to the premier class through 2031. Triumph's product manager, Steve Sargent, stated that the current approach is locked in until 2029, and they expect more competitors expressing interest in joining as chassis builders, but none will join beyond 2027. While building a complete package is conceivable, it is not on the agenda for the moment.
