Dunlop will supply 40 of the 53 competing teams – and 3400 tyres – during the opening round of the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship, the 24 Heures Motos.
This includes six top-tier Formula EWC squads racing on development tyres, playing a key role in Dunlop’s innovation towards the next generation of hypersport tyres, plus all 31 Superstock teams and the three outfits lining up in the inaugural production-based FIM Endurance World Trophy.
For the Superstock and Production teams, Dunlop will supply two front and two rear options from its KR109 and KR108 ranges.
In Formula EWC, one of the few international motorcycle racing classes to still feature open tyre competition, Dunlop continues to be the choice of leading teams. Among those running on Dunlop tyres is ELF Marc VDS Racing/KMM, which finished second in last season’s Bol d’Or finale. Two returning teams have also chosen Dunlop for the 2025 season: ERC Endurance and Team LRP Poland.
Long-time Dunlop partners Maco Racing (Yamaha) and Mana-Au Competition (Honda) continue to choose Dunlop in 2025, alongside Motobox Kremer Racing powered by 321, bringing the total number of Formula EWC teams on Dunlop tyres to six.
Wim Van Achter, Motorsport Manager, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe, said: “We’re pleased to expand our partnership with the Endurance World Championship further through the introduction of the FIM Endurance World Trophy class, which complements our continued involvement in both Formula EWC and Superstock Trophy. This broader engagement provides us with more opportunities to collaborate closely with teams and gather valuable data for the development of the Dunlop KR range. We’re also proud that top independent teams continue to place their trust in Dunlop, so we want to extend our thanks to the six Formula EWC teams that have chosen Dunlop tyres for 2025 and wish them the very best throughout the season. We look forward to another exciting season ahead and wish all the teams the best of luck in the upcoming 2025 season.”
