Pirelli Dutch Round FIM Superbike World Championship at iconic TT Circuit Assen

· Range solutions. In addition to the new development option, riders will be able to rely on the DIABLO™ Superbike range for the rear: the soft SC0, the medium SC1, and the supersoft SCX, the latter intended for practice sessions, qualifying, and the Superpole Race. For the front, the available options are the soft SC1 and the medium SC2. In the case of rain—far from unlikely in the Netherlands at this time of year—riders can count on DIABLO™ Wet intermediate tyres and DIABLO™ Rain full wet tyres.

· Other classes. For the third round of WorldSSP, the standard SC1 and SC2 options are confirmed for the front, with the SCX and SC0 for the rear. Also returning to the track during the Dutch weekend are the World Sportbike Championship riders and the women of the WorldWCR, both championships using SC1 tyres on both axles (120/70 front and 180/60 rear).

Development work continues on the rear
 
“ With the 2026 WorldSBK Pirelli Dutch Round, the Championship arrives at the TT Circuit Assen, one of the most iconic tracks in world motorcycling. Both fast and technical, Assen features a mix of low-, medium- and high-speed corners, as well as often variable weather conditions, which over the years have played a decisive role in race outcomes.
For the third round, confirming a continuous development effort aimed at improving both single-lap performance and further increasing consistency over race distance, Pirelli is providing teams and riders with a new development soft rear solution, the F0298. This tyre could represent a valid alternative to the standard SC0, with the goal of improving stability while ensuring a high level of consistency in race conditions.
Taking into account the characteristics of the circuit and potentially low temperatures, our choice for qualifying and the Superpole Race has fallen on the supersoft SCX, which until last season was known as the development tyre E0126 and has become part of the standard range this year. For the same reason, as an alternative to the standard and development soft options, riders will also be able to rely on the medium SC1 rear in case of cold conditions”.
