Moto2 Aragon: Pirelli Brings New Front Tire and Rear SCX Compound — PHOTO — PADDOCK GP↗ View original

Pirelli is bringing a new front tire and rear compound to Moto2 at Aragon. The E1089 front keeps the standard SC1 carcass with a softer compound aimed at braking stability, with allocation rising from 8 to 9 tires, while a new SCX supersoft rear compound debuts at the circuit alongside the SC0 option.

From what I've seen trackside, bumping the front allocation from 8 to 9 tires for Moto2 is a small change with big implications. The E1089 keeps the same carcass but shifts the compound to chase stability under braking. Whether that SCX rear can hold up on Aragon's chewed-up asphalt, where you can feel the grip through your fingertips on the throttle, is the real test.

What did you think?

Going from 8 to 9 allocated tires sounds minor but it's a real difference for teams on track.

In Moto2 one tire choice can flip the order, so this kind of story is worth watching.

SCX Super Soft — the name alone sounds like it's built for a fast lap.

Same carcass, compound-only change — that's a real tire-nerd kind of tweak.

If it's aimed at braking stability, that should favor the more aggressive riders.
