Roboze has unveiled an exclusive video interview featuring 2021 MotoGP World Champion Fabio Quartararo and Roboze CEO Alessio Lorusso, offering an inside look at how 3D-printed aerodynamic components are redefining performance in premier-class racing. In the discussion, they explore key themes of speed, precision, and the growing importance of customization at the highest level of motorsport.

More than just a glimpse into a rider’s perspective, the conversation delves into the technical alliance between Roboze and the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team, where advanced additive manufacturing is becoming a pivotal tool in race-day development.

To go beyond the headlines, iMotorbike spoke directly with Alessio Lorusso, who revealed how this collaboration took shape, the cutting-edge materials powering it, and why this innovation could influence not only the future of MotoGP, but the future of manufacturing itself.

“The partnership between Roboze and the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team was born from a shared passion for performance, precision, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Lorusso.

What started as a digital connection quickly evolved into a tight technical alliance. Roboze and Yamaha worked hand-in-hand to identify key engineering challenges in the racing environment and used Roboze’s additive manufacturing expertise to develop bespoke solutions tailored for the race track. “This isn’t just a partnership, it’s a joint pursuit of podium-level excellence,” Lorusso added.

While specific components remain confidential, Roboze confirms that its focus is on aerodynamic parts, an area where small changes can deliver major gains. Using advanced polymers reinforced with carbon fiber, Roboze creates components that are both lightweight and structurally rigid, with high thermal resistance, essential traits for the high-stress environment of MotoGP.

Lorusso stated that: “Every gram and every millimeter count. Our materials and production capabilities empower Yamaha to rapidly prototype, test, and deploy innovations at the pace MotoGP demands, from the development lab to race day.”

With its roots in industries like aerospace and energy, Roboze brings a standard of precision and speed where failure is not an option. “We deliver parts that are not only accurate to the micron, but race-ready in record time. We tailor every solution to Yamaha’s exact needs, ensuring both technical precision and maximum performance,” he added.

Roboze’s vertically integrated approach allows for fast turnarounds and exacting quality, two critical factors in the split-second world of motorcycle racing.

A Vision Built for Extreme Innovation

Founded over a decade ago, Roboze has carved out a niche by serving industries that demand peak performance, including rockets, satellites, aircraft, hydrogen turbines, and now, MotoGP.

Talking about reason, Lorusso explained: “We chose to tackle the toughest challenges first because that’s where true innovation is forged. These environments demand perfection under pressure, and they push us to continuously raise the bar.”

Looking ahead, Roboze is intensifying its presence in energy and rail, areas where high-performance manufacturing can offer system-wide improvements and greater sustainability.

Will Everyday Riders Feel the Impact?

When asked if consumers might see Roboze’s technology in their own motorcycles anytime soon, Lorusso remains realistic. “While our focus remains on high-stakes, high-impact industries, the innovations we’re driving today will eventually influence consumer technologies tomorrow,” he said.

Lighter components, faster production cycles, and smarter materials could one day make their way into street bikes, but for now, Roboze is focused on where it can make the greatest difference, and that’s at the very top.

What’s Next for Roboze and Yamaha?

Far from being a one-off collaboration, the partnership between Roboze and Yamaha is only gaining speed. “We’re not only refining existing components, but also venturing into new areas of material science, performance analysis, and structural validation. This partnership isn’t just about keeping pace, it’s about setting the pace, lap after lap,” Lorusso added.

With deeper integration and new applications on the horizon, this alliance is primed to extend its reach even beyond MotoGP, potentially influencing Yamaha’s wider programs.

As MotoGP technology races into the future, it’s clear that 3D printing and high-performance engineering are no longer just support tools, they’re becoming performance drivers. And with companies like Roboze leading the charge, the finish line has never looked more exciting.
