Rule changes

  • Starting in 2016, Michelin will become the series' official tyre supplier following Bridgestone's withdrawal from the category.[25] Dorna have also agreed a rule change to the 2016 regulations to increase the wheel size from 16.5 inches to 17 inches (similar to Moto2 and Moto3).[26]
  • The previous Factory and Open classes will be merged: every bike must adopt the unified electronic package (ECU and software).[27] Each rider will be able to use up to seven engines in a season, albeit with frozen specifications, and the maximum fuel tank capacity will be 22 litres.[28] Factories without a dry win between 2013 and 2015 will still be allowed to use 12 engines with free development, but in case of a determined number of podiums or wins scored during 2016 the factory will lose these benefits for the next season.[28] Similarly, any manufacturer not scoring a single podium in 2016 will gain those concessions in 2017.
