Monster Energy will now join existing sponsors Motocard and Elf, in addition to Akrapovic, Bubel, MRA, and winter test sponsor Vialser in a working partnership with the official KRT WSB project. Historically, Kawasaki and Monster Energy have enjoyed a global sponsorship relationship in both motocross and supercross racing. This partnership will now expand to create an exciting new dimension to include the championship-winning KRT World Superbike squad.

The factory WSB Ninja ZX-10R machines to be raced by 2013 World Champion Tom Sykes and recent KRT recruit Jonathan Rea will now feature prominent green Monster logos as part of a new graphics package. The final design of their 2015 machines will be unveiled at the official team launch in Barcelona on February 5th.

Prior to the launch there will be two pre-season test sessions in Spain. During these tests, the KRT team will run a distinctive winter testing livery in which Monster Energy logos will be featured prominently. The first test is set to take place at Motorland Aragon on 19 and 20 January and the second at Jerez on 26 and 27 January.
