| New supersoft SCX rear and 3.5″ front rim in Moto2™; minimum pressure for the rear also in Moto3™ | · For the official pre-season tests of Moto2™ and Moto3™ scheduled from 18 to 20 February in Jerez, Pirelli is making available to Moto2™ riders for the first time the new SCX (Supersoft) rear tyre, an even softer solution than the SC0 (Soft) used in 2024, which they will have as an alternative option in these tests. The SCX has already been used for years in WorldSBK and in the 2025 season it will also be brought to Moto2™ at all those circuits that, due to asphalt characteristics or temperatures, make it possible to use.
· Another novelty for 2025 for Moto2™ is the transition from the front rim with a 3.75″ channel to the 3.5-inch. The small size should help make the bikes more agile when entering corners and in quick changes of direction. · For the riders of the Moto3™ class, the allocation of last season has been confirmed, with SC1 (soft) and SC2 (medium) for both the front and the rear but with a novelty: as already for Moto2™, from this year also the Moto3™ will have a minimum pressure required by the regulations for the rear tyre, equal to 1.50 bar (22 psi). A first taste of the new novelties for 2025 at the Jerez test |
