The supersoft rear will offer Moto2 riders even more grip
“2024 was our debut year in the Moto2 and Moto3 Championships, therefore, in terms of allocation, we decided to make a conservative choice as we did not know some of the circuits we were going to race on and what the performance of our tyres would be with these machines. Now, almost two years later, we can say that we have collected enough information and data to allow us to make more accurate choices for each circuit, putting teams and riders in the best conditions to be able to exploit the potential of our range. At last year’s Japanese GP, we saw that the soft rear options were the most used in both classes. In particular, the Moto2 riders raced with soft compounds on both the rear and the front, and the levels of wear as well as the degradation were very low. For this reason, this year we thought it appropriate to give them the opportunity to use the SCX which, using a softer compound than that of the SC0, can offer even higher levels of grip. As it is a supersoft compound, it is not adequate for all circuits, but Motegi has proven to be one of those suitable for exploiting it. It will be interesting to see if performance and lap times improve with this tyre.”
