2018年のスーパーバイク世界選手権

2018年のスーパーバイク世界選手権（2018ねんのスーパーバイクせかいせんしゅけん）は、スーパーバイク世界選手権の31回目のシーズン。 2018年は1ラウンド2レースで行われた最後のシーズンである。2019年からはスーパーポールレースの追加により1ラウンド3レースとなる。 本年よりレギュレーションが大幅改定され、レブリミット規制とコンセッションルールが導入された。従来吸気リストリクターによって行われていた2気筒・4気筒間の性能調整に代わり、車両毎のレブリミットを成績に応じて増減させることで戦力の均衡を図るようになった。4気筒車両のレブリミットは原則14,700rpmであったが、ドルナとFIMは当時、3年連続でタイトルを連覇していたジョナサン・レイとカワサキの戦力が突出していると判断、カワサキには14,100rpmと4気筒車両では最も低い回転数が適用されたが、ジョナサン・レイとカワサキはこれをものともせず、ライダー、マニュファクチャラー両タイトルを獲得、4連覇を達成した。 第6戦ドニントン後に性能調整が行われ、成績の振るわなかったBMW、ホンダ、MVアグスタは第7戦ブルノより250rpm増となった。 ※2気筒車両 全車ピレリタイヤ使用。 ^ レオン・キャミアは第5ラウンドにもエントリーしたが、FP2の後怪我のため欠場となり、代役としてジェイソン・オハロランが出場した。 ^ “2018 provisional Motul FIM Superbike World Championship Calendar”. worldsbk.com.
