Pirelli expands GP/Moto 3 racing range in 2014 with new compounds and sizes developed in Europe
Rome, GA (USA) – Pirelli has expanded its 2014 racing range again. The new 115/70R17 Slicks come in 3 compounds (SC0, SC1, & SC2) and match up with the current 100/70R17 slick front. These new tires were developed in Europe with top Moto3 and 125GP teams and provide improved handling, performance, and grip over the recently discontinued 125/70R17 rear slick size.
“Pirelli continues to lead the market with its large roadracing range” commented Jeff Johnston, Pirelli Tire North America Roadracing Manager. If you ride a small bore GP, 600 SS or Superbike, Pirelli offers a complete range of track day, slicks, intermediates and rain tires for almost any racing or track day application.”
