Pirelli has been supplying Moto2 and Moto3 with tires since 2024, having previously used Dunlop tires.\u00a0 With the new agreement, Pirelli is now extending its commitment to the entire MotoGP World Championship.\u00a0 In addition, the all-electric MotoE racing series will also switch to Pirelli tires.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Change linked to far-reaching rule changes<\/h3>\n

The timing of the switch coincides with a comprehensive revision of the technical regulations.\u00a0 From 2027, the displacement of MotoGP bikes will be reduced from the current 1000 cm\u00b3 to 850 cm\u00b3.\u00a0 In addition, ride-height devices are to be removed and the aerodynamic add-on parts reduced in size.\u00a0 These measures are intended to slow down the motorcycles and ensure greater safety on the current race tracks.<\/p>\n

These rule changes mean that Pirelli is not faced with the challenge of being directly compared with the previous Michelin tires.\u00a0 Instead, the new tires will be developed for the revised machines right from the start.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pirelli strengthens its presence in motorsport<\/h3>\n

By taking over the tire supply for the MotoGP, Pirelli is taking a further step towards positioning itself as a leading manufacturer in international motorsport.\u00a0 The company has already been supplying the tires for the World Superbike Championship (WSBK<\/a>) for many years.\u00a0 Pirelli is also the official tire supplier for Formula 1, which means that the Italians are now represented in both the top motorcycle and automobile racing series.<\/p>\n

While Pirelli is establishing itself in the most important racing series, Michelin will remain the exclusive tire supplier for MotoGP and MotoE until the end of 2026.\u00a0 From 2027, the company will no longer be represented in these areas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reactions to the change<\/h3>\n

Opinions on the change of manufacturer in MotoGP are mixed.\u00a0 There have already been discussions about different tire suppliers in the past.\u00a0 When Bridgestone replaced Michelin, there were voices calling for Michelin’s return.\u00a0 Conversely, it was the same when Michelin came back into MotoGP.\u00a0 It remains to be seen how the riders, teams and fans will react to the change and whether Pirelli might face similar criticism to Michelin in recent years.<\/p>\n

Michelin has repeatedly faced public criticism in recent years, particularly in connection with tire pressure problems.\u00a0 As a result, drivers and teams have only been able to comment on this issue to a limited extent.\u00a0 With the switch to Pirelli, it remains to be seen whether these debates will come to an end or whether tires will remain a much-discussed topic in MotoGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
