The 2011 Superbike World Championship season is the 24th season of the Superbike World Championship. It began on 27 February at Phillip Island and will finish on 16 October in Portimão after 13 rounds.

Ducati will no longer compete with a factory team in 2011, after 23 seasons which had brought the marque a total of 29 riders' and manufacturers' championship titles, instead limiting its participation to privateer teams.[1] Aprilia's gear-driven camshafts on its RSV4 motorcycle – which won the title in 2010 with Max Biaggi – have been banned for the 2011 season.[2]

Season calendar

The provisional race schedule was publicly announced by the FIM on 7 October 2010 with eleven confirmed rounds and two other rounds pending confirmation.[3] Having been announced as a venue from 2011 onwards in May 2010,[4] Motorland Aragon will replace Kyalami on the calendar, while Donington Park will return to the championship, hosting the European round.[5] Imola was confirmed in November 2010, to finalise a 13-round calendar.[6]
