Pirelli is prepared for the challenges of the upcoming motorcycle racing season, which will begin next week in Australia with the first round of the FIM Superbike World Championship. The most significant news for 2024 is the entry into the Moto2 and Moto3 Championships as the sole tire supplier under a three-year agreement that sees Pirelli involved in the lightweight and intermediate classes of GP until at least the 2026 season.
The Italian tire company will bring the philosophy encapsulated in its now famous motto “We sell what we race, we race what we sell” to the new paddock, as it will provide a range of standard tires and not prototypes, in a continuous evolution of those already used for over 20 seasons in the FIM Superbike World Championship, which continues to be the main outdoor laboratory for range development. As always with the racing products of the DIABLO family, Pirelli will also be the sole supplier for the newly created FIM Women’s World Motorcycle Championship and the talent cups, dedicated to the future rising riders, which are part of Dorna’s Road to MotoGP project.
These championships add to the more than 150 motorcycle competitions, on and off-road, in which Pirelli will be involved in 2024. On the asphalt, in addition to the ones already mentioned, Pirelli also participates in some of the most prestigious national championships, such as the British Superbike (of which it has been the sole supplier since 2008), the German IDM Championship, and the French Superbike Championship, to name a few.
Pirelli’s commitment to off-road is also confirmed, starting with the FIM Motocross World Championship, organized by Infront, in which the Italian tire company boasts a record of 81 world titles and will be the official tire supplier until 2025, inclusive.
