The Pirelli Diablo Powercruiser motorcycle tyre is designed for cruisers and custom motorcycles intended for dynamic riding on public roads. The model combines the characteristic Diablo family tread pattern with a profile engineered for precise handling during lane changes and cornering. The range includes versions for front and rear wheels.
Lightning-shaped grooves
The tread design features curved, lightning-shaped grooves running through the central part of the tread, channeling water towards the outer areas of the contact patch. Shorter sipes of varying lengths are positioned along the sides. Wide shoulder zones maintain large continuous rubber sections, providing support during leaning and grip on dry surfaces.
Profile for active maneuvering
The tread profile is shaped using multiple radii. Its sharper central section facilitates quick direction changes, while the flatter shoulder areas help maintain trajectory when cornering. The profiles of the front and rear tyres are matched to ensure predictable motorcycle responses to rider inputs.
Features of radial versions
Radial sizes use a steel belt with a zero-degree ply angle to control contact patch deformation. Rear radial versions feature a dual-compound tread with added silica: softer shoulder areas are optimized for grip when leaning, while a stiffer core supports them and forms the central strip. This combination helps maintain consistent performance across different riding conditions.
