Rev limits for 2019 Superbike models
In line with the technical regulations and more specifically on the balancing of various motorcycle concepts, rev limits for the new homologated Superbike models were established (eg. Art 2.4.3.1).
All tests were performed at the manufacturer’s factories with ready broken-in machines.
The 2019 initial Rev limits for new machines is subject to revision at the discretion of the FIM if production machines supplied from retail outlets differ in their performance characteristics and are subject to the articles mention in 2.4.3.x of the World Superbike Championship Regulations.
