Incoming MotoGP constructor KTM will presents its 2017 bike at its headquarters in Austria on February 20.
KTM has been preparing for its entry into the premier class for over two years, and has recruited Pol Espargaró and Bradley Smith from Tech 3 to spearhead its charge.
KTM made its bow at last season’s Valencia finale, where test rider Mika Kallio retired, before Espargaró and Smith sampled the RC16 during post-race testing.
Moto2 riders Brad Binder and Miguel Oliveira, along with Moto3 youngsters Niccolo Antonelli and Bo Bendsneyder, will also unveil their respective bikes.
KTM joins Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki and Aprilia as constructors in MotoGP's premier class.
