Triumph has revealed the new engine it will supply to the Moto2 World Championship from 2027. Moving on from the current 765cc unit, it uses a new cylinder head with a low-inertia valvetrain and a higher compression ratio to lift peak power by about 6%, while trimming roughly 2kg. Private testing is already under way, with an on-track debut later in 2026 and full grid rollout in 2027.

From my time trackside, changing the Moto2 spec engine means the whole grid's ground shifts at once. More than the 6% peak, the low-inertia valvetrain reworking how it picks up high in the range is what matters. The instant you crack the throttle on corner exit, the response gets rewritten for every rider on the grid. This gets interesting.

Chassis makers already working on it for 12 months — I'm way too excited for next year's bikes.

Low-inertia valvetrain basically means they're chasing the difference up high in the revs.

I loved the 765cc sound, so a capacity change is quietly a bit sad.

"Capacity change" with no figure bugs me. Give the number before hyping it.

6% up and 2kg down. Moto2 is spec, so those numbers hit everyone equally.

How many years has Triumph done Moto2 now? It's fully established.
