Pirelli has officially launched the SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT, the next-generation motocross racing tyre, designed to push performance boundaries while staying true to the company’s legacy of excellence in the FIM Motocross World Championship. The new tyre builds upon Pirelli’s 82 world titles since 1980 and aims to deliver superior grip, durability, and handling across various off-road conditions.

The new tyre made an immediate impact, debuting at the Internationals of Italy Motocross, where it played a key role in the victories of Tim Gajser in MX1 and Andrea Adamo in MX2. The tyre will also be featured in the 2025 World Championship, equipping some of the top riders in the sport.
The new SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT is the result of Pirelli's decades of experience in the Motocross World Championship race tracks and of the numerous successes and world titles achieved with riders of the calibre of Stefan Everts, Antonio Cairoli, André Malherbe, Eric Geboers, Jöel Smets, David Thorpe, Jeffrey Herlings, Romain Febvre, Tim Gajser (pictured) and Jorge Prado, to name just a few.
