The KB998 Rimini enters its second year in WorldSBK displaying the perfect synergy between bimota’s renowned craftsmanship and Kawasaki’s technical prowess.

Boasting a craftsman made bimota chassis, paired with a Kawasaki engine and electronics, the KB998 Rimini, delivers an exceptional balance of power, precision, and control. This collaboration has been further enhanced with the inclusion of world-class components:

• Showa suspension, ensuring superior handling and stability
• Pirelli tyres, delivering optimal grip and performance on every track
• J.Juan brake hoses, providing unmatched braking power and precision
• Akrapovic exhaust system, combining lightweight design with outstanding performance

The KB998 Rimini’s development began in early 2024, with extensive testing conducted by BbKRT to fine-tune the bike for the demands of WorldSBK competition. The project was born to create a race-ready machine capable of competing at the highest level and to use insights from the racing program to influence and refine the production model for customers to enjoy.

The Bimota KB998 Rimini is more than just a motorcycle—it is a symbol of ambition, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. With podium visits in 2025 by Alex Lowes and impressive performance increases by co-rider, Axel Bassani, 2026 is a season to relish.
