With over a century of history in motorsport, Pirelli continues to offer tyre solutions for both bikes and cars around the world; the company being present in 160 countries, including Spain, Italy and Indonesia. Following its motto of: “We sell what we race, we race what we sell”, the Italian brand is constantly working on offering innovative tyre solutions with an important research & development investment; while racing has always been Pirelli’s favourite R&D platform across all disciplines, including the world’s fastest production-based Championship. 2021 will be Pirelli’s 18^th season as the Championship’s Official Tyre supplier and over the years, Pirelli has shown its commitment to WorldSBK, becoming a key contributor to the success of the Championship.

This Event Main Sponsor agreement is a great way to continue the historic partnership between Pirelli and the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship. Pirelli’s involvement in the Championship has consistently offered a tailor-made experience for the WorldSBK paddock while its products are ultimately passed onto fans and motorcycle riders around the world.
