WorldSBK Assen: Pirelli adds new front slick to allocation

WorldSBK spec-tyre supplier Pirelli will take a new front slick which offers better wear to this weekend’s Assen round.

The development solution A0843 is making its debut in Holland. it uses the same structure as the A0674 spec with a new compound, to give better mechanical resistance and wear protection in demanding circuits like this one.

In the rest of this weekend’s range, Pirelli allows the choice between a standard solution, the standard SC1 soft compound, and two development solutions. The development solution A0674 in soft compound was used by the riders last year in Jerez and Portimão, as well as in the inaugural round of Aragon in 2022. Compared to the standard SC1, this features a new structure developed to improve front end feeling by increasing support in mid and corner entry.

As for the rear, riders have available the soft SC0 compound and the super soft SCX compound, also known in 2021 as the development solution A0557. The development solution SCQ in A1359 specification represents the first extra soft compound tyre that was validated by the riders during the winter tests, allowing in Aragon for a considerable improvement in lap times compared to the previous qualifying tyre.

In the WorldSSP category there will be five dry solutions available to the riders, two for the front and as many for the rear.

For the front Pirelli has a choice between the new standard SC1 soft compound, evolution of the development SC1 A0460, and a standard SC2 medium compound. For the rear, WSSP riders will have at their disposal the super soft compound SCX, the soft compound SC0 and the medium SC1 compound, all from the standard range.
