Dunlop to remain exclusive tyre supplier to FIM EWC Superstock and Production classes until 2029

Endurance Moto Promoter (EMP), promoter of the FIM Endurance World Championship, and Dunlop have announced a three-year extension to their agreement, running until the end of the 2029 season. Dunlop will remain the exclusive tyre supplier to the Superstock (FIM Endurance World Cup) and Production (FIM Production World Trophy) classes, a role it has held since 2022 for the Superstock class and since the creation of the Production class in 2025.

The new agreement also confirms Dunlop’s status as an Official Partner of the FIM EWC, a relationship dating back to 2016.

All teams in both categories will continue to race on the Dunlop KR slick range, with the same level of performance, reliability and technical support, regardless of the size of their structure. Since 2022, Dunlop has supported the steady progression of both grids, in terms of performance as well as the depth of competition.

In the Formula EWC, where tyre choice remains open to all manufacturers, Dunlop will continue working closely with several top teams. The brand remains the most successful tyre manufacturer in the history of the Championship.

Wim Van Achter, Motorcycle Motorsport Manager EMEA, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe: “We are honoured to continue our partnership with the FIM Endurance World Championship and EMP as the exclusive tyre supplier for the Superstock and Production classes. EWC is a valuable arena for the active development of Dunlop’s KR racing tyres, which are available on the market for racers and track day riders. This partnership represents a stamp of approval for our tyres and a further incentive to continue developing the next generation of the Dunlop KR racing range in one of the most competitive racing environments.”

Claude Michy, President, Endurance Moto Promoter: “We are delighted to continue the long-standing partnership between the FIM EWC World Championship and Dunlop as the sole tyre manufacturer for the Superstock and Production classes. Endurance racing is a discipline that demands performance, but also great consistency and complete trust between the teams and their technical partners. Dunlop has unique expertise and experience in this field, and has always demonstrated its ability to meet the particularly high standards of the FIM EWC World Championship. This renewal reflects the quality of our collaboration and our shared commitment to keep promoting the championship. Above all, the main goal is to continue supporting the Superstock and Production teams as well as possible, thanks to a new allocation system.”

The 2027 FIM EWC season will get underway with the 24 Heures Motos at Le Mans, France, from 8 to 11 April 2027.
