Triumph has announced a new engine for the 2027 Moto2 World Championship, its first designed purely for racing rather than adapted from a road bike. The unit gains a 6% increase in peak power over the current 765cc triple while shedding 2kg in weight.
6% more power and 2kg lighter, and built from scratch for Moto2 instead of adapted from a road bike — my pulse just went up reading that. Reworking everything from the cylinder head to the port shapes shows this is a different level of commitment than the outgoing engine.

I'd bet Honda or Yamaha could still top it if they went all in.
Wait, is the Moto2 engine the same across every team?
Yep, it's a spec engine, all about keeping things fair.
Surprised it took this long to get a purpose-built engine.
6% more power and 2kg lighter is a genuinely solid update.
Ditching the road-bike base though probably means higher cost.
