Pirelli Moto ‘Facebook Timeline’

The story of our successes on two wheels reconstructed on the social network through images from the Pirelli Foundation

The priceless images of the Pirelli Foundation have been used to re-build Pirelli Moto’s past and present successes on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/PirelliMoto) in its so-called Timeline.

The story ranges from the creation of our first motorcycle tyre, right through to the arrival of the Diablo, joining the Superbike World Championship and on to our recent victories in Motocross. A similar task has been completed for Metzeler (http://www.facebook.com/MetzelerItalia).

Pirelli Moto leafs through the pages of its history, enabling all Facebook users to edge a little closer to our brand by offering content of value.  It covers history, but also technology and innovation – part of our DNA – paying ever increasing attention to the potential of the social networks.

Diablo Rosso II the tyre of the year according to Spanish magazine “Neumáticos y Mecanica Rápida’’

The authoritative Spanish magazine Neumáticos y Mecanica Rápida has elected it Tyre of the Year in the Motorcycle category.

This is an important award, because it contributes to strengthening our image in a significant market like Spain.

Neumáticos y Mecanica Rápida has been one of the most prestigious tyre magazines for almost the last decade. The Tyre of the Year project is its own initiative and has become a point of reference for both the sector’s manufacturers and clients.

The winners of the various categories are decided by the votes of numerous experts, including specialist shops, distributors and journalists.

The presentation ceremony will take place in Madrid on Thursday 22 March.
