The Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP) will undergo sweeping rules and regulations updates in 2022. While 600cc, Japanese inline-four models have defined the series for decades, shifting consumer preferences and current OEM lineups are forcing WorldSSP to adapt to the new middleweight landscape.
Starting in 2022, heavy middleweight models such as Ducati’s Panigale V2, KTM’s 890 Duke R, and Triumph’s Speed Triple RS will go toe-to-toe with 600cc four-bangers. Another model that will grace the grid in 2022 is MV Agusta’s F3 RR. Of course, the firm’s race-homologated F3 675 variant has battled in WorldSSP for years, but with new rules allowing MV to go full-bore with an 800cc capacity, the Schiranna factory had to redevelop the platform for the race track.
