I'm hoping for something like MotoAmerica Twins Cup but including triples. The 660-900cc parallel twins and triples are proving to be a big hit for manufacturers and a world championship production class needs more powerful bikes than SSP300.
WorldSBK.com: New entry class to debut in 2026
"One of the key objectives of this new initiative is to smoothen the progression path for riders moving up to the larger classes, particularly to the FIM Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP). By closing the performance gap between the entry and intermediate classes, the aim is to create a more seamless transition for riders, fostering their development and preparing them for the competitive demands of higher categories.
Additionally, this move is designed to attract greater interest from manufacturers by allowing them to showcase machinery that reflects a growing market segment. The new class will feature nimble bikes with more powerful mid-tier capacity engines, details of which will be specified by the SBK Commission in the coming weeks and months."
