| Following the resurfacing carried out in summer 2024, the Spanish circuit now features a rather abrasive surface, and Pirelli has decided to rely on the new standard SCX and SC0 solutions used last year as development specifications |
|
| · Supersoft for Superpole. For the sixth round of the FIM Superbike World Championship taking place this weekend at Motorland Aragón, a circuit known for being particularly demanding on tyres, Pirelli is bringing back the solutions successfully used at last year’s event. In 2025, riders had access to the E0126 and E0125 development specifications, which have now been promoted to standard compounds as the supersoft SCX and soft SC0 respectively. As already seen at the Portimão and Assen rounds, the SCX will be the reference tyre for qualifying and the Superpole Race, as well as being available for free practice sessions. For the longer races, riders will be able to choose between the soft SC0 and the medium SC1, with the latter offering better wear protection in the event of low temperatures.
· Two soft front solutions. As a possible alternative to the standard soft SC1 solution, the E1164 development specification will be available for the front. Already included in the Portimão allocation, this soft solution is being brought back for further evaluation on a circuit whose characteristics are well suited to its potential use. The medium SC2 completes the options and, thanks to moderate track temperatures last year, delivered excellent results for several riders. In wet conditions, the allocation is completed by DIABLO™ Wet intermediate tyres and DIABLO™ Rain wet tyres. · The other classes. In the Supersport World Championship, the standard SC1 and SC2 front solutions have been confirmed, while at the rear, as was the case last year, riders will be able to rely on the soft SC0 and medium SC1 compounds. Also returning to the track this weekend is WorldSPB, the championship that uses Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike tyres in SC1 compound on both axles, the same choice adopted by the Yamaha R3 World Cup, which is staging its second round of the season. At Aragón we are relying on the winning solutions from last year’s edition |
