The '''Supersport World Championship''', short '''WorldSSP''', is a [[motorcycle racing]] competition on paved surfaces, based on mid-sized sports motorcycles. Competition machines are based on 600-750cc - depending on the number of cylinders - production-based motorcycles. The championship runs as a support class to the [[Superbike World Championship]], which is similarly based on large production-based sports motorcycles. The championship, organized and promoted as its parent series by FGSport—renamed Infront Motor Sports in 2008<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.infrontsports.com/news/2008/10/infront-rebrands-leading-promoter-in-motor-sport,-fgsport,-as-infront-motor-sports/|title=Infront rebrands leading promoter in motor sport, FGSport, as Infront Motor Sports|work=infrontsports.com|publisher=Infront Sports & Media|date=31 October 2008|access-date=20 March 2015}}</ref>—until 2012 and by [[Dorna Sports|Dorna]] from the 2013 season onwards,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/103016|title=Dorna to organise both World Superbikes and MotoGP from 2013|work=autosport.com|publisher=[[Haymarket Media Group]]|date=2 October 2012|author=Sam Tremayne|access-date=20 March 2015}}</ref> is sanctioned by the [[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme|FIM]].
The '''Supersport World Championship''', abbreviated to '''WorldSSP''', is a [[motorcycle racing]] competition on hard-surfaced circuits, based on mid-sized sports motorcycles. Competition machines were originally based on production-based motorcycles with 600&nbsp;cc to 955&nbsp;cc engines, depending on the number of cylinders. After trials in UK national series [[British Supersport Championship|British Supersport]], from 2022 the regulations have changed to allow eligibility of larger-displacement engines, to reflect the engine sizes being produced and encourage different manufacturers.<ref>[https://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/british-superbikes/2018/october/bsb-series-bosses-commit-to-supersport-and-gp2-future/ BSB: Series bosses commit to Supersport and GP2 future] ''[[Motorcycle News]]'', 25 November 2018 Retrieved 30 January 2022</ref><ref>[https://www.visordown.com/news/racing/bsb/triumph-enter-factory-britishssp-%E2%80%98pilot%E2%80%99-765-entry-eyes-international-return Triumph to enter factory BritishSSP 'pilot' 765 entry, eyes international return] visordown.com, 24 November 2020.

===Technical regulations===
Supersport regulations are much tighter than in Superbikes. The chassis of a supersport machine must remain largely as standard, while engine tuning is possible but tightly regulated. For instance, the displacement capacity, bore and stroke must remain at the homologated size. Modifying the bore and stroke to reach class limits is not allowed.<ref name="reg">{{cite web |title=Road Racing FIM Superbike & Supersport World Championships & FIM Superstock Cup regulations 2012 |url=http://www.v2-fim-live.com/fileadmin/alfresco/6510004_Anglais.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206134427/http://www.v2-fim-live.com/fileadmin/alfresco/6510004_Anglais.pdf |archive-date=6 February 2015 |access-date=8 November 2012 |work=v2-fim-live.com |publisher=[[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme]]}}</ref> As in World Superbike, a control tyre is used. From 2020 onwards, the tyres no longer have to be road legal and therefore slicks are allowed.


In 2012, to be eligible for Supersport World Championship, a motorcycle must satisfy [[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme|FIM]]'s [[homologation]] requirements and have a [[four-stroke]] engine in one of the following configurations:<ref name=reg>{{cite web|url=http://www.v2-fim-live.com/fileadmin/alfresco/6510004_Anglais.pdf|title=Road Racing FIM Superbike & Supersport World Championships & FIM Superstock Cup regulations 2012|work=v2-fim-live.com|publisher=[[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme]]|access-date=8 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206134427/http://www.v2-fim-live.com/fileadmin/alfresco/6510004_Anglais.pdf|archive-date=6 February 2015}}</ref>
The 2022 season unveiled the "Next Generation" motorcycles and regulations which allowed motorcycles from "gaps in the market" between the traditional supersport configuration of 600cc inline 4 cylinders and superbikes.
* Between {{convert|400|and|600|cc}}&nbsp;– 4 cylinders
* Between {{convert|500|and|675|cc}}&nbsp;– 3 cylinders
* Between {{convert|600|and|750|cc}}&nbsp;– 2 cylinders


As of 2015, the homologated motorcycles were [[Honda CBR600RR]], [[Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R|Kawasaki ZX-6R]], [[MV Agusta F3 675]], [[Suzuki GSX-R600]], [[Triumph Daytona 675]] and [[Yamaha YZF-R6]];<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fim-moto.com/fileadmin/library/Listing_of_FIM_homologated_motorcycles_for_2015__Updated_13_February.pdf|title=Listing of FIM homologated motorcycles for 2015|work=fim-moto.com|publisher=[[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme]]|date=15 February 2015|access-date=15 April 2021}}</ref> formerly homologated motorcycles include Bimota YB9, [[Ducati 748]], [[Ducati 749]], [[Honda CBR600F]], [[Triumph Daytona 600]] and [[Yamaha YZF600R]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fim.ch/pressreleases/CP_99.03.18.htm|title=Superbike/Supersport World Championships: rules, time schedule, wild-card riders in Kyalami, list of homologated motorcycles|work=fim.ch|publisher=[[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme]]|date=18 March 1999|access-date=20 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991011115739/http://www.fim.ch/pressreleases/CP_99.03.18.htm|archive-date=11 October 1999}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.v2-fim-live.com/fileadmin/alfresco/Docs/f_4402.pdf|title=Listing of FIM homologated motorcycles for 2007|work=v2-fim-live.com|publisher=[[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme]]|date=5 April 2007|access-date=20 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402120313/http://www.v2-fim-live.com/fileadmin/alfresco/Docs/f_4402.pdf|archive-date=2 April 2015}}</ref>
The Next Generation regulations bought in headline rules of hard minimum weight, combined bike and rider weight, and maximum RPM limit. Due to these changes allowing a much more varied field, there is a big focus on balancing factors to bring fair competition. This includes concession parts, torque limited map with RPM limit, minimum weight, air restrictor, and modifications, all of which could be changed during the season based on balancing calculations and concession points.

Latest revision as of 02:14, 5 March 2026


Template:Infobox motorsport championship

Gianluca Vizziello riding the RG Team Yamaha YZF-R6 at Phillip Island

The Supersport World Championship, abbreviated to WorldSSP, is a motorcycle racing competition on hard-surfaced circuits, based on mid-sized sports motorcycles. Competition machines were originally based on production-based motorcycles with 600 cc to 955 cc engines, depending on the number of cylinders. After trials in UK national series British Supersport, from 2022 the regulations have changed to allow eligibility of larger-displacement engines, to reflect the engine sizes being produced and encourage different manufacturers.[1][2]

The championship runs as a support class to the Superbike World Championship, which is similarly based on large production-based sports motorcycles. The championship, organized and promoted as its parent series by FGSport—renamed Infront Motor Sports in 2008[3]—until 2012 and by Dorna from the 2013 season onwards,[4] is sanctioned by the FIM.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Supersport was introduced as a support class to the Superbike World Championship in 1990 as a European Championship. The series allows four-cylinder engines up to 600 cubic centimetres (37 cu in), three-cylinder engines up to 675 cubic centimetres (41.2 cu in), and twin-cylinder power plants up to 750 cubic centimetres (46 cu in). In 1997 the championship became a "World Series" and the European title was given to the European Motorcycle Union's European Road Racing Championship. The full title Supersport World Championship was introduced in 1999.[5] Supersport racing has also been one of the most popular classes of national racing for many years.

Competition in the championship is typically fierce, and season domination by a single competitor is unusual. The 2001 championship was particularly notable in this respect, the champion being Andrew Pitt who did not win a single race, but amassed a championship-winning total of points by finishing near the front of the field in almost every race.

Regulations[edit | edit source]

Technical regulations[edit | edit source]

Supersport regulations are much tighter than in Superbikes. The chassis of a supersport machine must remain largely as standard, while engine tuning is possible but tightly regulated. For instance, the displacement capacity, bore and stroke must remain at the homologated size. Modifying the bore and stroke to reach class limits is not allowed.[6] As in World Superbike, a control tyre is used. From 2020 onwards, the tyres no longer have to be road legal and therefore slicks are allowed.

The 2022 season unveiled the "Next Generation" motorcycles and regulations which allowed motorcycles from "gaps in the market" between the traditional supersport configuration of 600cc inline 4 cylinders and superbikes.

The Next Generation regulations bought in headline rules of hard minimum weight, combined bike and rider weight, and maximum RPM limit. Due to these changes allowing a much more varied field, there is a big focus on balancing factors to bring fair competition. This includes concession parts, torque limited map with RPM limit, minimum weight, air restrictor, and modifications, all of which could be changed during the season based on balancing calculations and concession points.

To be eligible, a motorcycle must satisfy FIM's homologation requirements and have a four-stroke engine in one of the following configurations:[6][7][8]

Cylinders 2012 2022 2025
From (cc) To (cc) From (cc) To (cc) From (cc) To (cc)
4 400 600 400 600 400 800
3 600 800 500 675 500 900
2 800 955 600 750 660 990

As of 2025, the specifically homologated machines with weight limits are:

Brand Bike Weight Combined Minimum Bike and Rider Weight (kg)
Hard Minimum (kg) Soft Maximum (kg)
Ducati Panigale V2 166 175 244
Honda CBR600RR 161 170 239
Kawasaki ZX-6R 161 170 239
Kawasaki ZX-6R-636 161 170 239
MV Agusta F3 161 170 239
MV Agusta F3 800 161 170 239
MV Agusta F3 Superveloce 161 170 239
Suzuki GSX-R600 161 170 239
Suzuki GSX-R750 161 170 239
Triumph 675R 161 170 239
Triumph ST765RS 161 170 239
Yamaha YZF-R6 161 170 239
Yamaha YZF-R9 166 175 244
QJ Motor SRK 800 161 170 239

(Bold indicates a 2025 addition from the 2023 list.)[9]

Formerly homologated motorcycles include Bimota YB9, Ducati 748, Ducati 749, Honda CBR600F, MV Agusta F3 675, Triumph Daytona 600, Triumph Daytona 675, and Yamaha YZF600R.[10][11]

Sporting regulations[edit | edit source]

A Supersport World Championship race takes place at almost every Superbike World Championship round. Starting positions are decided by the riders' fastest laps from two 45-minute qualifying sessions. Each race is approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) long. Typically, the race takes place between the two Superbike races.

The points system is the same for the riders' championship and the manufacturers' championship, but only the highest-finishing motorcycle by a particular manufacturer is awarded the points for the latter championship.

Points scoring system
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Points 25 20 16 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Riders[edit | edit source]

Riders from all over the world compete in World Supersport, mostly from Europe.

Several riders who were successful in World Supersport have moved on to high-level competitions, notably, Cal Crutchlow, Chaz Davies, and Chris Vermeulen, though others such as Fabien Foret and Kenan Sofuoğlu have spent several years in this championship. Notable female rider María Herrera entered a few races in World Supersport.

WorldSSP Challenge[edit | edit source]

Starting in 2016, the World Supersport Challenge, a separate points-scoring competition was held at the European-rounds of the Supersport World Championship, run as a category within the main races. Previously, it was known as the European Supersport Cup. Since 2020 named WorldSSP Challenge.
