With the 2026 British Superbike Championship kicking off tomorrow, the AJN Steelstock bimota squad have pulled the covers off the striking KB998 Rimini livery that Max Cook and Joe Talbot will be campaigning this season.
After a busy winter building the all-new bimota Superbike and testing and developing the exciting new machine, the AJN Steelstock bimota team are proud to launch the eye-catching colourway for their debut season in BSB. Designed to showcase the heritage of the bimota brand and the teams close ties with the World Superbike squad, the bikes also feature prominent green touches to highlight the link with Kawasaki.
Max and Joe will appear on track in the new colours tomorrow morning when they roll out for Free Practice 1.
Nigel Snook, Team Principal, AJN Steelstock bimota
“The new bimota KB998 Rimini Superbikes are stunning, and machines of this quality need an equally striking livery, which I think we have achieved with our 2026 colours! Echoing the bimota heritage through visual impact was very important to us, alongside ensuring the strong link between bimota and Kawasaki is represented. I can’t wait to see Max and Joe on track this weekend.”
