ROME, GEORGIA – Pirelli concluded an exciting seventh season as Official Tire Supplier to the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), commanding seven outright best lap records and nine lap records at 8 of the 13 circuits on the Superbike calendar. Seven of these races showed a faster overall race time, with improvements in the season average of .4 second per lap and 4.05 seconds per race. In addition to WSBK, Pirelli is also the official tire supplier for the Canadian Superbike, and British Superbike Championships.

"Our involvement at the highest level of racing continues to allow us to offer the latest in compounding, structure and profiles to racers around the world,” said Giorgio Barbier, Pirelli Moto Racing Activities Manager. “North America continues to be an important market to Pirelli; for that reason our U.S and Canadian race vendors will be offering the latest in Pirelli race tire technology in 2011. We truly race what we sell and sell what we race."


The following tires will be available with new sizing and compounds:
  • 180/60ZR17 Diablo Supercorsa SC0-Ultra-soft, SC1-Soft & SC2-Medium 600cc Supersport tire (DOT)
  • 200/55ZR17 Diablo Supercorsa SC0-Ultra-soft, SC1-Soft & SC2-Medium 1000cc Supersport tire (DOT)
  • 200/60R17 Diablo Superbike Slick SC0-Ultra-soft, SC1-Soft & SC2-Medium
The new SC1 compound for the Diablo Supercorsa 120/70, 180/60, 200/55 & Slick 120/70, 120/75, 200/60, and 190/65 tires provide more feedback and works much better at a higher and wider track temperature range. The SC2 compound is similar to last year’s compound but it has been improved to offer more grip and longer life. Due to the new compound changes and attributes the entire range offering has been changed - the SC3 and SC4 tires are no longer needed.

The new 180/60ZR17 & 200/55ZR17 rear DOT tires, along with the 200/60R17 slick tire feature new carcass materials and sizing. With the diameters of the tires increasing to improve turn in and side bite Pirelli has stiffened the carcass to increase feedback and stability. Riders will find set up changes are needed to address the change in tire diameters and possibly slight compression/rebound changes to maximize the increased performance of these world-class tires.

This is a really good race tire for those that are on a strict budget. It offered goood tire life and grip in 2010 and is available once again, but please let me know if you want to run this tire as I only bring these in as needed.

This new 180/60 rear tire offers more grip than last years tires and also is a stronger tire which should extend tire life. Based on last years information and results I beleive at this point the SC2 will be the tire of choice and possibly the SC1 if we get a nice warm summer day.

I beleive you guys can see that by eliminating the rather difficult XTRM contingency program Pirelli had last year, we are able to offer every racer better pricing on Pirelli's world class tires.

Please contact me if you have any further questions or would like to order up some sticky, black round donuts.

See ya'll shortly.
