Bimota KB 998 Rimini Elite

The WorldSBK expertise of Provec Racing comes alive in the new exclusive KB998 Rimini Elite, a series limited to just 5 units to experience the track like never before.

With the KB998 Rimini Elite, Provec Racing – the force behind the bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team – presents a fully dedicated machine and track program, combining race-proven technology and elite personnel to deliver maximum performance and pure riding pleasure.

TAILORED SPECIAL PARTS
Built with materials and components derived directly from WorldSBK machinery, each of the five units has been individually race-tuned by the technicians of Provec Racing at the Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team facilities.

The KB998 Rimini Elite features an extensive selection of premium components, fitted on top of the already outstanding foundation of the KB998 Rimini’s frame and engine: Showa Genuine Parts, Brembo, OZ Racing, Akrapovič, Pirelli, J.Juan, Taleo, Puig and GBRacing, along with bespoke parts engineered by Provec Racing. Some components are supplied with auxiliary kits for further personalization, such as internal fork springs and clutch springs, allowing adaptation to different tracks and rider profiles.

The electronics package is developed by Mectronik and includes a 2D telemetry system, featuring track-optimized software with multiple mapping options and advanced configuration for traction control, ignition and engine braking.

In pure performance terms, the result is a weight reduction of 16.7 kilograms (36.8 lbs) and a 7.5% increase in power output, delivering a total of 215 horsepower (160.3 kW) for a curb weight of 176 kilograms (388 lbs). Beyond the numbers, the package represents a comprehensive refinement of the riding experience on track, enhancing the dynamics and character of the already exceptional KB998 Rimini platform.

BORN ON THE TRACK AND RACE PROVEN
The KB998 Rimini Elite is the result of an intensive testing program during pre-season private sessions by team’s development rider Xavi Forés alongside WorldSBK riders Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani.
Furthermore, this technical package of the KB998 Rimini Elite competed in the final round of the 2025 ESBK Spanish Superbike Championship at Circuito de Jerez, where Tito Rabat secured a podium finish in its first and only official race entry.

AN ELITE RIDING EXPERIENCE
The delivery KB998 Rimini Elite includes an exclusive track experience with the bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team alongside WorldSBK riders Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani, joined by development riders Xavi Forés and Tito Rabat.

Owners of the KB998 Rimini Elite will benefit from direct technical support from the Provec run bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team for setup and on-track performance, plus VIP guest hospitality at WorldSBK rounds.
