The Moto3 World Championship is set to switch to being a one-make sﷺeries from 2027 at the earliest and run 500cc engines.

The current Moto3 regulatory framework has been in place since the class replaced the 125cc for🍨mula in 201𒁃2.

Mꩲoto3 bikes are sin💎gle-cylinder 250cc four-stroke grand prix bikes, with Honda and KTM the manufacturers currently involved in the class.

However, according to GPOne, Dorna Sports is looking to🅷 turn Moto3 into a one-make series that moves away from the prototype make-up of the current class.

This woul💦d fall in line with the Moto2 class, whichꦉ replaced grand prix 250cc bikes with production engine-powered engines.

This is set to involve a single-spec 500cc two-cylinder engine with an inౠcrease in power from 60 horsepower to 80hp.

The idea b🌟ehind this is to better prepare young riders for more powerful machinery, with numerous top names from the lightweight class stepping up to Mot🌜o2 and struggling over the years.

This switch will also reduce 𓄧co👍sts in the lightweight class.

According to the GPOne report, whoever the manufacturer picked as the sole supplier will only be making €75,000. The current Moto3 packᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚage cꦜosts €170,000.

As a result of this, thou🎐gh, finding a manufacturer to supply the bikes is proviꦍng difficult.

Yamaha is reported to be interested, but o🔴nly to supply the engine and only if it is avai🐓lable in its current range.

Any plans KTM may have had in getting involved will almost certainly have been scrapped 🌺as it tries to navigate its way through t💛he financial crisis threatening the future of its MotoGP project.

The new Moto3 rꦡules framework is set to come into effect in 2027, though could be delayed.

A change in M𒁏oto3 will coincide with MotoGP’s major technical formula shake-up, as it mov🌱es to an 850cc engine.

In 2019, Mo♕to2 switched from 600cc Honda four-stroke engines to 765cc Triumph three🎶-cylinder motors.
