Pirelli will become the official tyre supplier to MotoGP from 2027. A new five-year contract until 2031 inclusive. It is currently being finalised and will coincide with a new era for the sport. New MotoGP bikes and technical regulations will debut in 2027.

The strategy of having a single supplier in the paddock will provide the perfect development ladder for the champions of tomorrow. This will allow them to hone their craft on their way to the top. Further details on the tyre allocations and specifications to be supplied by Pirelli will be announced soon.

Currently, Pirelli supply Moto2, Moto3 and much of the Road to MotoGP. Now, their presence in the sport will expand to the pinnacle of racing, MotoGP, and into MotoE, the electric World Championship.

Michelin will remain the exclusive supplier for MotoGP and MotoE until the end of the current technical regulations. This will be at the close of the 2026 season. From then, they will move onto Pirelli.

Over the next two seasons Michelin will continue to provide its technical support, its products and world class technology. This assures the safety, performance and racing which makes MotoGP the most exciting sport on Earth.

As a pioneer in world-class electric motorcycle racing, Michelin will remain committed to MotoE throughout 2025 and 2026. They will continue to innovate and to make its tyres—already featuring a high percentage of renewable and recycled materials—even more sustainable.
