It was announced at the MotorBikeExpo in Verona, that Dunlop has been chosen by Campionato Italiano Velocità (CIV) as the exclusive tyre supplier for the championship’s flagship Superbike category. Therefore, Dunlop will be the sole tyre supplier for three of CIV’s five categories, as the brand is already the tyre partner to the Italian platform’s Moto3 and Pre-Moto3 classes. The deal is set to last for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
The brand will be supplying riders with slick racing tyres from their renowned KR range, the KR109 front and KR108 rear tyres are closely related to those raced by leading teams in arenas such as the FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC). In CIV Superbike, the tyres will be in sizes 125/80R17 front and 200/70R17 rear.
Aldo Ciccone, Racing Manager, Dunlop Italy, said: “Dunlop and CIV represent a winning combination of competitiveness and extreme performance. We are proud to expand our partnership with the FMI as the sole supplier for the Superbike category, the flagship of CIV. For us, this partnership represents a stamp of approval for our products and a further incentive to provide better and better tyres to riders.”
The CIV Superbike season is set to begin at Misano on 2-3 April, before further rounds at Vallelunga, Mugello and Imola.
