Riders that attain 13 years of age during the season can join the Cup at that point, furthermore a special autumn mini series comprising of the final three event will be established as a forerunner to the 2016 Championship.

The Cup Edition bike is based on the series production model launched in 2014, but fitted with track-focused official KTM PowerParts and is both directly linked to KTM Racing and its Moto3 project. With the road bike already boasting sporty credentials, the Cup version takes it to the next level with changes such as fully adjustable WP Suspension, upgraded braking and a big reduction in weight with the removal of unnecessary road equipment.

All bike parts are available as KTM PowerParts and the fully adjustable suspension package not only allows for individual set up for each race; it is also a valuable learning tool for suspension setup. The bike has adjustable foot pegs and handlebar levers to fit different ergonomics, making it ideal for young talent that is still growing.
