The 2024 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship sees Pirelli once again enjoy the status of official tyre supplier for all classes in the paddock . Having partnered WorldSBK in this important role since the 2004 season , Pirelli is about to enter its third decade of providing tyres at all rounds of the biggest productionderived racing class there is .
Whatever technical changes and machinery evolutions that have come along inside the WorldSBK scene since 2004 Pirelli has provided solutions to match and often exceed the requirements of the most demanding racers in each category , no matter what their machine ’ s power outputs have been .
Pirelli ’ s now well-established FROM RACE TO ROAD concept means that the Milan-based company sees WorldSBK not only as a visibility platform for the brand but also as a tyre development laboratory that is staffed by top racers . To date , DIABLO Supercorsa in the SP version , is the best example of technology transfer from the track to the road that we have among our long history of tyre development .
Pirelli ’ s range of racing tyres have provided the grip and endurance required for three different manufacturers - Kawasaki , Yamaha and Ducati - to win the championship in recent seasons . As well as the WorldSBK development options , many race winning tyres are commercial products - tyres in the ‘ range ’ as they are described - and available for anyone to buy from Pirelli ’ s racing dealer network . Tyres in the ‘ range ’ are exactly the same as those that may have won the most recent WorldSBK race .
