YOGYAKARTA Some people may ask how many cc super bikes are, considering that Indonesia has hosted the World Superbike (WSBK) championship. This year, the motorcycle racing event was held again at the Mandalika Circuit, West Lombok, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, on 11-13 November 2022..

Previously, Indonesia succeeded in performing the WSBK event on 19-21 November 2021. At that time, Pata Yamaha Toprak racer Razgatlioglu managed to come out as the winner of WSBK Mandilka.

How many CC Superbikes?

Adapting the official Red Bull page, the World Superbike race is regulated by the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). In addition, the WSBk event also has a series of technical regulations set by Dorna Sports.

For your information, Dorna Sports is the ruling body in the FIM as well as the right holder of the broadcasting rights for motorcycle racing events such as MotoGP and WSBK.

According to Dorna regulation, motorcycles used by the WSBK event cannot pass through a capacity of 1,000 cc.

Please note, cc stands for cubic centimeter (cm3). This term is used to describe the machine's capacity derived from the performance of a piston inside a combustion engine cylinder that uses cm3 units.

Machine capacity is the volume of all pistons in the engine cylinder which is measured based on the maximum movement from top to bottom. If the engine is large, the power generated by the vehicle is also large.

Adapting the official Dorna WorldSBK page, the motorbike used for superbike events is different from the motorbikes sold on the market. The motorbikes have been modified to the engine management, disposal system, suspension, brakes and a number of parts of the machine.

The motorbike used by the WSBK racer must have a minimum weight of 168 kilohram. The Cc of the WSBK motorcycle is located between 750 cc and 1200 cc, depending on the number of cylinders contained in the engine.

Superbike Motor Specification

In more detail, the following are the specifications of the motorbike used by WSBK racers, as compiled by VOI from various sources:

The motorbikes used for the WSBK event are mass or commercial production. However, these motors have been modified into the management department of the engine, disposal system, suspension, brakes and a number of parts of the machine.

The types of motorcycles used by the team in the WSBK event include Kawasaki ZX-10RR, Yamaha R1, Honda CBR1000RR, BMW S1000RR, Ducati Panigale V4 R.

As mentioned above, the weight of the motorbike used for super bikes is at least 168 kilograms

The rules regarding machinery and chassis at WSBK are quite heavy. The reason is, motors are required to maintain construction and the design of original product chassis. The use of other materials is also limited.

This rule is different from the MotoGP event, which allows using carbon fiber material, titanium to magnesium.

In the WSBK race, the Electronic Control Unit aka ECU used by the team carried the MKE7 label and supplied by the Italian vendor Mectronic

When tested by experts, the motorbike used by WSBK riders has 200 to 250 horse power (hp) power.
