2016 World Superbike Calendar

The World Superbike Championship (WorldSBK) is the premier international road racing series for production-based motorcycles, showcasing highly tuned versions of the sportbikes available to the general public. Unlike MotoGP, which utilizes purpose-built prototypes, WorldSBK highlights the performance and technical capabilities of flagship models from major manufacturers like Ducati, Kawasaki, Yamaha, BMW, and Honda, adhering to the philosophy of "win on Sunday, sell on Monday." Organized by Dorna WSBK Organization and sanctioned by the FIM, the series visits iconic circuits worldwide, featuring a unique multi-race weekend format (including the high-intensity Tissot Superpole Race) that tests the speed, consistency, and physical endurance of many of the world's most talented riders.
