Moto3, Mahindra introduces all-new gearbox for the MGP3O in Germany

Following Mahindra Racing’s historic first Moto3 win at the Dutch TT at Assen three weeks ago, the only Indian constructor in world championship motorcycle racing arrived at the Sachsenring in Germany this weekend armed with an all-new gearbox for the Mahindra MGP3O.

 Having successfully developed and tested the new transmission during the past six weeks, the race was on to produce enough units to be able to homologate the new part and provide one to each of the eight Mahindra and two Peugeot Motocycle riders at the Sachsenring.

 “With a quicker, smoother change both up and down the gears, this is an important development to give all of our riders more confidence as we head into the second half of the season - commented Mahindra Racing’s CEO Mufaddal Choonia - Pecco has shown that the MGP3O is capable of winning races and this fact, combined with the upgrades we have made to the bike over the past few races, should see improved performances from all of our riders.” 

The new transmission is the latest in a list of planned upgrades to come from Mahindra Racing’s state-of-the-art development facility at Besozzo, near Varese.
