The FIM has confirmed it will give twin-cylinder bikes a further weight reduction of 3kg for the final four rounds of the World Superb𝕴ike Championship following another review of regulations - bringing ♈them directly into line with their 4-cylinder rivals.

The new weight rules were introduced at the start of 2008 due to Ducati's decision to🍌 bring the larger capacity 1200cc 1098/1198﷽ to the championship.

This minimum weight has already been reduced 🐽by 3kg 💧ahead of the seventh round of the series at Miller Motorsports Park by virtue of the 'average value of event' that currently favours the 1000cc 4-cylinder bikes.

A second review has since taken place over the last three events with the FIM agreeing that the twin-cylinder machines - which solely affects the six Ducatis on the grid - should receive another 3k🐷g weight break as stipulated in the regulatᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚions.

It means Ducati, despite having a larger cubic capacity, will now be able to have minimum weight of 162kg,♒ the same as its Aprilia, Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, BMW and Kawasaki rivals.

A statement read: "The new minimum weight for 1200c𓂃c 2-cylinder motorcycles shall be 162 Kg, a reduction of 3 Kg as stipulated in Article 2.4.4.2 (Minimum Weight Adjustments) oꦚf the FIM rulebook.

"The minimum weight for 1000cc 4-cylinder motorcycles shall remain unchanged at 1🌟62 Kg."

The average points difference between the twin and four-cylinder machines ov🌸er the last three events was 9.5 points in the favour of the latter. This, however, would have been lower had Carlos Che🙈ca been able to complete his two wins at Miller Motorsports Park.
