Brad Binder sees promising results from lower downforce aero, says KTM mass damper “a matter of time” after Aragon MotoGP test.
Brad Binder had a busy official MotoGP test at Aragon on Monday, evaluating numerous aerodynamic options and revisiting the factory’s Ducati-style mass damper.
The South African tried multiple aero configurations and found that a reduction in downforce showed potential benefits, giving more margin on the tyres and freedom at the front.
Despite testing various aero packages, Binder admitted that no single package stood out dramatically better across all areas.
Binder, like other KTM riders, is working to address the front-end understeer issue and revisited the Ducati-style mass damper to fine-tune its performance.
Currently 14th in the MotoGP world championship, Binder is aiming to improve his standing after facing challenges in recent races.
