Nigel Snook speaks to Crash.net about his team’s upcoming switch to Bimota machinery in BSB.
In 2026, the FS-3 BSB team will switch from Kawasaki to Bimota machinery with support from WorldSBK. The team has been collaborating with the Bimota WorldSBK outfit to understand the new KB998 bike. Chief engineer Ian Prestwood’s personal connection with Alex Lowes adds another link to WorldSBK. The team will work closely with Bimota on chassis setup due to different electronics. Lowes shared that the KB998 is an improvement over the ZX-10RR in various aspects that could be crucial in BSB. The KB998 offers better handling and aerodynamics with incremental upgrades for a potential impact on lap times. The team is yet to confirm its riders for the upcoming season.
