SBK: FIM has decided: BMW will not be allowed to use the 2024

The issue related to the BMW chassis is the topic that has been discussed the most over the past few weeks. Finally the matter has been clarified and, as we anticipated, BMW will not be able to use the chassis implemented this year.

Confirming this is the FIM, which today made official the Superbike 2025 regulations, and with regard to the talk of Superconcessions there has been a change.

We are talking about Chapter 2, which is the one concerning the technical regulations, more specifically Superconcessions.

Paragraph V reads:

When a vehicle with available Superconcessions is replaced with an approval deemed "new," Superconcessions will remain available only if all of the following conditions are met:

- If the status of the House is still eligible for Superconcessions at the end of the season

- If the affected parts (chassis, internal engine parts, etc.) have not undergone any significant changes in this new homologation and within the limit of a single homologation

The point written in bold therefore changes the game, effectively denying the Munich-based manufacturer to take advantage of the implemented 2024 chassis. Obviously BMW was not taken by surprise, because as stated in recent days it is ready to react.
