Triumph’s Moto2 engines will provide more rpm and horsepower for the 2023 season.
The British manufacturer, which took over the Moto2 engine supply from Honda in 2019, has confirmed a series of performance-enhancing modifications for the 765cc triple to reduce lap times and aid overtaking.
The developments include a new cylinder head to increase the compression ratio, longer valves to provide greater lift, plus a new camshaft profile and revised valve springs.To maintain the engine’s reliability, other improvements will focus on the pistons, conrods and crankshaft to cope with the higher piston pressure of 90 bar .
“To have achieved so many lap records, and a top speed equivalent to more than 100km/h per cylinder, is something we are very satisfied with since Triumph started powering the class from the 2019 season. “When there’s such a fundamental change to a category everyone embarks upon a journey of learning – the riders and teams in terms of becoming attuned to the characteristics of the triple and optimising the overall package of engine, electronics and tyres, and us as Triumph in terms of performance potential and reliability.
“We have achieved very nearly 1 million competitive kilometres on the current-spec 765cc Moto2 engine and that gives us enormous confidence as we take this next step to the give the riders something they all want – more revs and more power.
