2025 M1000RR: updates are coming

[alex]

M1000RR will be updated for 2025. Confirmed by Toprak.

No further details but but heavy speculation from a source with better contacts than you or I.

So will the R1 apparently, but not for road use.

Yes the updates were launched and raced at Aragon, there are new wings on the R1, which look like a proper after thought.

EICMA - Thu, 7 Nov 2024 – Sun, 10 Nov 2024 might be quite interesting. KTM are going with 5 new models.

First pics - as expected the wing profile has been updated.

Sylvain Guintoli posted a video on Instagram on 11 Oct (Jerez WSBK Test) and you could clearly see the new wing design then.

Are the wings adjustable, there's a school of thought that suggests downforce mid corner makes the bike understeer.

Clearly might be a stretch

In motorsport aero has to be fixed

The changes are pretty minor, visually. Does the swingarm look different? Seat looks changed but could be the optional one.
I like the sticker pack...not sure about the matt carbon.
Suspect they dropped the wheel covers.

Didn't think it was possible to fit wider wings, but potentially they are. M-badge on the nose? Aero pressure release (under the screen) or... radar for road use?

Not a massive fan of the front.... prefer my MY16 Gen3

Revised aero and that’s about it. Looks like it could be easily retrofitted to the existing M as well. Swingarm looks identical - fairly irrelevant as the SBK Teams all fit Suter items. The press pack will confirm all the details when it’s released in a couple of hours. New decals look good. Bottom line is that it doesn’t make me want to rush out and PX mine.

 

[fast_ryan]

Same utterly rubbish stock suspension as well, but that’s designed to be cheap and gets swapped out as well.

Looking a bit more closely I think they might have done away with the carbon fibre fairings as well.

 

[alex]

Interesting that Kalex Racing Swingarm will be dropped in favour of an in-house design.

Yeah, wondering if that's real or because the images are not 'real'? They look a bit generated in some ways.

 

[alex]

A black one without the cost of carbon fairings might be more tempting.
