Pirelli will introduce an all-new EVO specification tyre at this weekend’s Motorland Aragon round of the FIM Superbike World Championship.

The first European round of the year will see the debut of the mechanism that allows Pirelli to provide a different rear solution for both Superbike and Superbike EVO riders, without affecting the total number of solutions and the amount of tyres available for each rider.

The solution dedicated solely to EVO riders will not necessarily be the same for all rounds, as Pirelli want to develop more solutions during the year; some dedicated to both classes, others only to one of the two categories.

All riders will have four options at Aragon, three of which in common to all and one different for EVO and Superbike riders.

The goal of Pirelli is to try to reduce the gap of EVO motorcycles compared to the Superbikes, from which they differ for horsepower, electronics and engine settings.
