Pirelli to bring a new supersoft development tyre to the Italian Round

· SCQ for qualifying and the Superpole Race. As in recent rounds, for qualifying and, potentially, Sunday morning’s short race, WorldSBK riders will also have the SCQ extrasoft available, representing the softest solution in the Pirelli range. At the front, riders will have the SC1 soft and SC2 medium range solutions. In wet conditions, the allocation will be completed by DIABLO™ Wet intermediate and DIABLO™ Rain wet-weather tyres for both axles.

· Supersport with SCX. WorldSSP riders will have the SCX supersoft and SC0 soft range compounds available at the rear, while the front allocation will comprise the SC1 soft and SC2 medium tyres. The Cremona weekend will also see WorldSPB return to the track for the penultimate round of the season, alongside the young talents of the Yamaha R3 World Cup. In both championships, riders will use Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike tyres in SC1 compound at both the front and rear.

Development continues on the rear
 
“For the Italian Round, we will provide riders with a new supersoft development solution, the F0769. This specification uses the same compound as the SCX range tyre but introduces a completely new structure, developed with the aim of increasing motorcycle stability through the corner and on corner exit, while maintaining a high level of performance consistency over the race distance.
Last year, with particularly high temperatures, almost all riders opted for the E0126 supersoft development tyre. Thanks to the results achieved on track, this solution was subsequently promoted to a range tyre and is now available to all motorcyclists. It will therefore be particularly interesting to assess the behaviour of the new F0769 compared with a well-established solution that is highly appreciated by the riders.
The Cremona weekend will also have a special significance for Pirelli. It is in fact the final Italian race of a 23-year history as the sole tyre supplier to the Superbike World Championship. To celebrate this important milestone, we will have a dedicated grandstand for our employees, to whom we wish to express our gratitude for the fundamental contribution they have made to the success of this journey”.
