MotoGP has announced new regulations for 2027, including a decrease in engine capacity from 1000cc to 850cc to enhance safety on traditional circuits. The reduction in cylinder bore from 81mm to 75mm will align with the capacity drop. Despite the changes, MotoGP bikes will still remain four-cylinder machines. The adjustments aim to slow down bikes and reduce the risk of incidents at classic tracks. Changes in gearbox regulations may help deter high-speed cornering designs. Additionally, ride-height devices will face a total ban, impacting corner exits and rider skill reliance. Manufacturers will face restrictions on aerodynamic shapes, including frozen rear aero packages for the season.
