Pirelli to introduce the EVO tyre at Aragon Round
A dedicated new rear compound to balance performances between Superbike and EVO machines.
From Aragon onwards, Pirelli will provide a different rear compound choice for Superbike and for EVO riders - without affecting the total number of tyres available to each rider.
Depending on the track characteristics, the EVO rear tyre compound developed uniquely for the EVO bikes may vary from round to round. Furthermore, Pirelli want to develop more solutions during the year, some dedicated to both classes, others unique to one of the two categories.
The goal of Pirelli is to try to reduce the gap of the EVO motorcycles compared to the Superbikes, from which they differ for horsepower, electronics and engine set-up. This will provide an opportunity for the fastest riders in this class to be competitive in the overall races, and consequently, make the Championship more balanced and compelling.
Regarding the rear options, in addition to the super-soft rear tyre dedicated to the 20 riders who will take part in the Tissot-Superpole, all riders will have four options , three of which are common to everyone plus one different for the EVO and Superbike riders.
For the upcoming round, the fourth solution for the Superbike riders will be a development SC1 (S1185), as an alternative to the standard SC1 which should guarantee a more uniformed wear rate and a better performance, while the EVO riders can rely on alternative to the standard SC0, the R1120, which is able to offer less tyre wear over a race duration.
