The Kawasaki WorldSBK Team has revealed its 2026 livery during the Jerez test in Spain.<\/p>\n
The Kawasaki ZX-10RR is substantially changed in 2026, with some new updates around the bike, most notably to the aerodynamics which now include some modest front winglets.<\/p>\n
Garrett Gerloff<\/a> stays with the team this year and spoke last November at EICMA<\/a> of his hopes that the changes to the bike for this year will lead to improved performance, after scoring a best result of only eighth in 2025, his first year on the Kawasaki.<\/p>\n Speaking in Jerez where the 2026 bike was unveiled in new green and blue colours ahead of the two-day test at the Spanish circuit, Gerloff said: \u201cThe team and I are excited and keen to start this 2026 championship. We\u2019ve changed a lot in terms of both the bike and the team, and I\u2019m pleased to be able to work with a new crew chief, whom I\u2019ve already collaborated with in the past, achieving strong results.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe other technicians remain the same and this is important, giving continuity to our work.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n \u201cThe tests we\u2019re conducting are important to ensure we head to Australia in the best possible condition and can start the season positively \u2013 I have high expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n Manuel Puccetti, Team Principal at Kawasaki WorldSBK Team, added: \u201cWe\u2019ve worked tirelessly over the winter on every little detail. We tested in November and are now here at Jerez and Portimao, because we want to be properly prepared for the first round in Australia and start the championship in the best possible way.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cOur aim for 2026 is to […] place as high in the standings as possible in Superbike, which I\u2019m sure we can do thanks to the combined efforts of our team and Kawasaki.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kawasaki WorldSBK Team has revealed its 2026 livery during the Jerez test in Spain.
