Competitors in the championship will race the latest Yamaha R7 motorcycles, which are powered by the brand's 689cc CP2 engine. The series relies on race-prepared versions of the twin-cylinder machine running in a cost-capped environment to keep the equipment standardized across the grid.
To maintain financial accessibility for participating teams and emerging riders, the full-season competitive package has been set at a fixed price of €29,000.
