KTM has received approval to replace a defective external-supplier component in its RC16's V4 engine. The fix isn't a performance upgrade but a restoration of the engine's intended reliability level, which lifts the rev-limit restriction the team had voluntarily applied as a precaution. From the Aragon GP, Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder, Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales will be able to use full power for the first time.

Racing with a self-imposed limiter is a quietly brutal thing on track — you can't fully commit on the straights, can't overtake, can't defend. Aragon, where Acosta and Binder finally get full power, is the first race that shows what KTM's package can really do. I can't look away, honestly buzzing for this.

Curious to see how much this actually changes once the limiter's off.

Ducati's camp has to be a little nervous about this.

If they've been holding back this whole time, is reliability really that shaky?

If it's a defective external-supplier part, the root cause is already pinned down.

Finally full power, we get to see what Acosta's really got now.

Hoping Binder gets to show his real pace too, rooting for him.
