KTM’s new aero concepts intrigued one of its riders at the Valencia MotoGP test
Enea Bastianini tested a new seat unit for KTM at the Valencia MotoGP test, describing it as a significant change from what he used in 2025 but noted that the balance was not correct. Despite flashes of promise in his debut season with Tech3, qualifying issues held back his performance. Bastianini completed 47 laps at the Valencia test to experiment with new KTM aerodynamic concepts, including a new rear aero and seat unit yielding similar lap times to his standard setup. Feedback on the new aero was positive and aligned with his KTM teammates’ opinions, showing potential for development. Pedro Acosta, leading the KTM charge at Valencia, faced challenges with the new aero’s unclear development direction due to numerous grey areas.
