FUN FACTS
MATERIAL
T he motorcycles used in MotoGP™ are purpose-built, purebred racing bikes - prototypes. They
are not available for purchase by the general public and cannot be legally ridden on public roads.
The technical regulations to which Grand Prix teams must adhere when they build their bikes
for MotoGP™ competition provide a guide to the type of machinery the riders use.
Grand Prix bikes are produced to win races and to showcase the design and technological
capabilities of their manufacturers. The machines are therefore constructed from expensive,
hardwearing and extremely light materials such as titanium and reinforced carbon fibre
and benefit from advanced technology (carbon disk brakes, engine management systems,
traction control), which does not feature on regular road bikes.
Since they’re so hard to replicate, and they’re tailor-made for each driver’s specific needs,
the average bike is worth a seven-digit sum. However, MotoGP™ executives deem the
vehicles priceless, and believe they’d fetch far more than $2 million on the market.

on muscle volume) that allow them to stay reasonably thin but pretty strong physically.
On average, a rider loses 2 liters of sweat in a 45 minutes race which is equivalent to
three hours of intense workout or running a marathon on a humid and sunny day. Hence to
overcome this loss of water from the body riders are provided with hydration systems. This
is also the case in Formula 1® since the cockpit is so hot in racing conditions.

FUN FACTS
RIDER SAFETY
Numerous MotoGP™ teams have used airbag suits for almost a decade, but until now their
use has been entirely voluntary. Thanks to a new official ruling by governing body Fédération
Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), the high-tech devices are becoming mandatory across
the board in MotoGP™, Moto2™, and Moto3™ for the 2018 season.
The suits detect crashes prior to impact thanks to built-in accelerometers, and a trio of
gyroscopes. Dainese’s system also utilizes a GPS unit. These sensors constantly feed data
to a main computer, communicating around 1,000 times per second. The use of multiple
sensors works as a safeguard to prevent false deployments and to ensure deployments
do occur when needed.
The riders protective wear is made up of Kangaroo’s leather with the thickness of almost
1mm serves like a second skin to the rider. This 1mm of thickness is enough to provide
the rider with a good durability after a crash or a long slide. Overall the entire suit will weigh

Gear changes take just 0.0009 seconds, shifting between the six gears on a MotoGP™
bike is one of the most important, and difficult, skills in the sport. Cutting-edge technology
allows riders to change remarkably quickly in an upside-down gearbox (riders must
downshift to increase the gears).

FUN FACTS
IS AN F1® CAR FASTER THAN
A MOTOGP BIKE?
A MotoGP™ motorcycle can accelerate at an incredible top speed, but it’s no match for
a Formula One® car in terms of downforce and braking power. The highest speed for
F1® cars is around the 375 km/h mark, Andrea Dovizioso recently set a new MotoGP™
maximum speed record at Mugello when he clocked an eye watering 356.5 km/h.
What’s the difference? F1® cars have mind-blowing cornering speeds because they have
more rubber on the ground and incredible aerodynamics, which increase downforce with
more speed. Excluding the drivers or riders, a Formula 1® vehicle weighs four times a
MotoGP™ bike and boasts a much more powerful engine. The tires are a whole different
story: in comparison with a bike, Formula 1® single-seaters have more tires (4 instead of 2)
and a more generous tread.
MotoGP™ bikes have a crazy weight-to-power ratio, meaning they can accelerate
remarkably quickly. This means bikes can go from 0 to 100 km/h in around 2.5 seconds,
fractionally faster than the average F1® car.
