German MotoGP: Syahrin set for carbon swingarm at Sachsenring?

H🌊afizh Syahrin could join his fellow KTM riders in having access to a carbon fibre swingarm at this weekend's German MotoGP.

Rookie team-mate Miguel Oliveira got the part, first used by the factory team at Le Mans, last weekend at Asse𝕴n, riding to a 13th place finish.

"We are very happy with the rear carbon swingarm we have for Miguel🌊. Hopefully Hafizh could have one as well in Sachsenring to improve the bike," said Tech3 team manager Herve𓂃 Poncharal.

Syahrin set for carbon swingarm in Germany?

Hafizh Syahrin could join his fellow KTM riders in having access ✱to a carbon fibre swingarm at this weekend's German MotoGP.

Rookie team-mate Miguel Oliveira got the part, first used by the factory team at Le Mans, last weekend at Aꦰssen, riding to a 13th place finish.

"We are very happy with the rear carbon swingarm we have for Miguel. Hopefully Hafizh could have one as well in Sachsenring to imp🔴rove the bike," said Tech3 team manager Herve Poncharal.

Syahrin, the only KTജM rider without a contract for 🌜2020, scored points for only the second time this season with 15th at Assen.

However the Malaysian had been ahead of Olive♌ira and in 13th for muꦛch of the Dutch race, before suffering a drastic loss of grip on the right side of his rear tyre in the closing laps.

"After a really str🔥ong first half of the race in Assen, I’m looking forward to go straight to Gꦰermany now," Syahrin said. "I know it’s not going to be easy and we will arrive at this special circuit for the first time with the KTM.

"We will try to find a good pace from the beginning and set up the electroni♚cs accordingly. The track is really short and the race is quite long with 30 laps, whi🍨ch will be tough for everybody."

The ca🧸rbon-fibre swingarm is not only lighter but is thought to be beneficial for tyre endurance over a race distance, rather than aiding one fast lap.
