KTM's Next-Gen 850 MotoGP Test Bike Adopts Aprilia/F1-Style F-Duct Aero

With the new 850cc-era machines, how the aero race between manufacturers plays out is getting really interesting.

First time hearing the term F-duct intake — curious how it actually works.

Aero tech that originated in F1 lands in MotoGP and now spreads between motorcycle manufacturers — fascinating how technology evolves and travels.

Just a glimpse of it doesn't tell you how much will actually see race use — could just be trial and error at the testing stage.

Borrowing ideas from rivals is normal enough, but if it's being confirmed at Misano testing, this is a serious adoption.

Bringing in F-duct aero from Aprilia and F1 — proof KTM is seriously trying to catch up.
