Designed for both the track and the road, the Diablo Rosso Corsa takes its place as Pirellis top-of-the-range motorcycle tire and replaces the Diablo Corsa III in Pirellis product lineup, Diablo Rosso Corsa tires will come in a broader range of sizes than the Diablo Corsa III.
Diablo Rosso Corsa tires use Pirellis patented Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT). Developed from WSBK performance, Pirelli says EPT optimizes the contact patch area at all lean angles. The rear tires use Pirellis III zones technology, with a new compound for the center zone and ample WSBK-developed shoulder zone compound.
