250cc Moto3 World Championship race bike by KTM



  KTM has begun accepting orders for a production racer version of its 250cc Moto3 World Championship race bike. The production racer will be available in February 2013 though orders will be accepted from July 1 to Oct. 1 of 2012 for 45,000 euros (US$55,400).

   The 2013 KTM Moto3 250 GPR offers similar specifications to the Moto3 bike including the one ridden by current series leader Sandro Cortese.... The production racer runs on the same single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.

   Mosts of the differences are ones made to meet Moto3 Grand Prix regulations, namely a 14,000 rpm rev limit, Dell’Orto electronic control unit and an Akrapovic exhaust that screams out at a Moto3-limited 115 dB.

   The production racer revs up to 13,500 rpm, uses electronics inherited from the KTM RC8R and has a quieter Akrapovic exhaust. It will also come with lower-spec Brembo brakes and WP suspension and OZ forged aluminum wheels though the GP factory version’s brakes, suspension and magnesium wheels can be purchased separately.

De esta manera podemos hacernos una idea de que tipo de posturas y geometrías son las mas beneficiosas y por tanto las adoptadas en las competiciones en la que la resistencia aerodinamica provocada por el impacto del aire juega un papel muy importante en los cronos.
