MotoGP, Sportrik Media - Pedro Acosta and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing have become central references in the development of a new MotoGP simulator unveiled by KTM, now available for fans at the KTM Motohall.
KTM confirmed that its latest MotoGP simulator will be accessible to the public from 26 March 2026, offering fans the opportunity to experience riding a premier class machine. The project was developed in collaboration with simulation specialists Sevensim and former MotoGP rider and current test rider Jonas Folger, with a focus on replicating the characteristics of the KTM RC16.
The simulator is installed in the foyer of the KTM Motohall museum and offers sessions of 10 or 20 minutes, which can be booked online or on-site. KTM states that the system delivers a “realistic” riding experience, including simulation of maximum lean angle, a critical performance factor in MotoGP racing.
“From 26 March, the simulator developed together with MotoGP rider Jonas Folger will enable realistic rides on a KTM RC16, including maximum lean angle.”
“The 10 or 20-minute sessions can be booked online or directly on site.”
From a technical standpoint, the simulator combines a motorcycle-style input platform with a triple-screen visual system, aiming to create an immersive environment. Unlike car simulators, which rely on steering wheels and pedals, motorcycle simulation requires full-body interaction, reflecting the physical nature of riding a MotoGP machine.
This represents a fundamental challenge in simulator development, as rider input extends beyond simple controls to include body positioning, weight transfer, and dynamic balance. KTM’s approach attempts to balance realism with accessibility, acknowledging that most users are not elite athletes capable of handling the physical demands of a real MotoGP bike.
While full physical replication remains inherently limited in a simulated environment, the initiative highlights KTM’s effort to bridge the gap between professional motorsport and fan engagement. It also reinforces the brand’s technological identity within MotoGP and its commitment to innovation beyond the racetrack.
As MotoGP continues to expand its global audience, projects such as this simulator provide new ways for fans to connect with the sport, offering a practical insight into the complexity and physicality of riding at the highest level.
The introduction of the simulator comes as KTM prepares for the next round of the 2026 MotoGP season, where performance development and rider feedback remain critical in maintaining competitiveness on track.
