Pirelli Introduces New Compound Tyre for Moto2 at Spanish Grand Prix
Pirelli is bringing a new rear development tyre to this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez de la Frontera, giving Moto2 riders the chance to test an updated supersoft specification alongside the standard option.
The new tyre, designated F0192, shares the same structure as the existing supersoft SCX but features a revised compound aimed at improving wear resistance and performance consistency over race distance. Crucially, the standard SCX will also be available, allowing riders to make a direct back-to-back comparison under identical track and weather conditions.
Pirelli notes that Jerez is well suited to evaluating soft tyre options, thanks to its relatively low-abrasion asphalt and typically warm spring temperatures. Each Moto2 rider will have access to up to 10 rear tyres across the weekend. For Moto3, Pirelli is sticking with proven solutions — the soft SC1 and medium SC2 for both front and rear axles.
