“If you were wondering who is the best all-around motorcycle racer in the world, one candidate must be Stefan Everts, MotocrossGP champion, MXdN champion, and now ISDE champion.” — Cycle News, November 19, 2003

Pirelli has been championship racer Stefan Everts’ exclusive brand since 2001.

Stefan Everts chose a Pirelli MT83 front/MT32 rear set-up when he was chasing down the MXdN title.

ardly idle words there. In 2003, Stefan Everts became the all-time winningest racer in GP history. He became the first motocross racer ever to win all three race classes in a single day, he won the MXGP Championship, and then he went on and won the Motocross de Nations (MxdN) Championship. And if all that wasn’t enough, in his first-ever attempt Stefan Everts won the 2003 ISDE (International Six-Day Enduro) Championship. The best all-around racer in the world? Who’s better? Stefan Everts re-wrote the history books with a display of dirt-riding ability never before seen.
     And he did it all on Pirelli tires. In fact, Pirelli’s been his exclusive brand since 2001. For that World MXGP Championship, depending on the conditions, Everts raced on his Pirelli MT83 front/MT32 rear or MT83 front/MT410 rear combinations. Chasing the MXdN title he switched to a Pirelli MT83 front/MT32 rear set-up. And for his first-ever foray into the ISDE, Everts won it all with a pairing of Pirelli’s MT83 front/MT83 rear.
     Stefan Everts wasn’t alone having success on Pirellis, either. To take the 2003 250cc World Enduro Championship Stefan Merriman mounted up an MT83 front/MT83 rear Pirelli combination, (the same tires he used to finish second in the ISDE behind Everts—Pirelli’s first-ever One/Two ISDE finish). And John Dowd, for his third at Southwick, used Pirellis, too, the brand-new sand/mud MT410 front/MT410 rear match-up.
     Pirellis have been Stefan Everts’ brand of choice since 2001 for good reason. And there are lots of good reasons for Pirellis to be your customers’ brand of choice, too.

The versatile new Scorpion Pro (formerly the MT83) has a brand-new carcass and compound.

Pirelli’s MT32 is a real winner.

hose Pirellis Stefan Everts, John Dowd, and Stefan Merriman win on—the MT83 (with a new name this year, “Scorpion Pro”), the MT32, and the MT410—continue a championship tradition. Since 1980 Pirelli’s claimed 43 World motocross titles, more than all other tire brands combined. And they’re not done. By constantly refining existing tires and developing brand-new ones Pirelli will be heading to the podium for some time to come. And every race tire Pirelli makes is available to the general public. What the pros and factory teams get is exactly what you can offer your customers. For example:
That Scorpion Pro (MT83) has a new carcass and compound, and all that’s available to everyone. This is an incredibly versatile tire, too, able to win in both motocross and Enduro.
     The MT32, a wide-range performer, is the tire that’s won the most World MX GP Championships. All the sizes are offered, for both motocross and off-road. There’s even a 20-inch front and a 120/90-19 four-stroke rear.
    The MT410 that John Dowd used at Southwick has a special rear paddle design with a bridged tread. There’s a newly developed soft terrain compound, too, mated with a lightweight carcass. The fronts are slightly wider for flotation and the tread pattern is a V-block design for enhanced braking and cornering.
     Every single tire is available to any rider. Contact your Parts rep and get all of the details.
