Trackhouse has revealed its new MotoGP bike for the 2026 season ahead of the first test in Malaysia. The team showed its Aprilia RS-GP on Wednesday, just a few days before riders return to the track in Sepang.

Last year, Trackhouse launched its MotoGP bike together with its NASCAR Cup team in the United States. This time, the American team decided to hold a separate event in Milan, Italy. The launch marks the beginning of Trackhouse’s third season in MotoGP and shows how serious the team has become in the championship.

The bike keeps the bright blue and black colours that were used in 2025. Yellow details are also still there, helping the bike stand out on track. The most noticeable new detail is the American flag, which has been added to both sides of the bike to highlight the team’s US identity.

Trackhouse also announced that it will race with a special Gulf-style livery at five rounds of the season. These races will take place in Thailand, Brazil, Italy, Indonesia and Malaysia. The Gulf colours are famous in motorsport and are expected to be popular with fans.

The team will start the 2026 season with the same riders as last year. Raul Fernandez stays with Trackhouse after a very strong season, while Ai Ogura continues for his second year in MotoGP. Fernandez enjoyed the best season of his career in 2025 and gave Trackhouse its first ever victory at the Australian Grand Prix. He finished the year in 10th place in the riders’ championship, helped by the improved performance of the Aprilia bike.

Ogura made a promising start to his rookie season with two top-five finishes in Thailand. However, his progress was slowed later in the year by two separate injuries. He eventually finished the season in 16th place but gained important experience that could help him in 2026.

As a team, Trackhouse finished seventh in the teams’ championship in 2025. This was a solid result and saw the American squad end the season ahead of several well-known rivals.

The engine has also been improved, with Aprilia focusing on areas that are allowed under the engine freeze rules. Trackhouse will give the 2026 Aprilia RS-GP its first run on track during the Sepang test in Malaysia.
