Pirelli
The inception of the single make tyre rule means exciting but challenging times for Pirelli who return as the tyre supplier for the third consecutive season. The ruling was introduced to the series to ensure a fairer tyre supply and provide more of a level playing field, ultimately providing a closer, more thrilling race series.
Pirelli has developed a range of Diablo tyres for both the Superbike and Supersport championships, giving a choice of three different specifications of dry Diablo front and rear tyres. Wet and Intermediate tyre choices are also available across both championships in the form of the Diablo Rain and Diablo Wet products.
A team of 17 tyre technicians will supply and fit around 5500 Pirelli tyres for both BSB and BSS classes over a race weekend. The technicians are backed up by two technical co-ordinators who work directly with the race teams to advise and analyse throughout practice and qualifying.
The new Diablo tyres have been developed at World Championship level, in association with the World Superbike and Supersport Championships. All of the Diablo products that we use at the circuits are available over the counter as a customer tyre. Any customer using a 16.5' front wheel can source identical tyres via their local Pirelli stockist and utilise the exact same tyres as their racing heroes.
