The Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV motorcycle tire is designed for the most powerful sportbike modifications. Structurally, it is a road-racing tire adapted for "civilian" use in urban conditions. It is characterized by excellent braking efficiency, grip even at extreme lean angles, and stability when exiting turns.
One of the key "borrowings" from sports tires is the carcass design. For high-profile sizes, a 3-ply LYCELL cord weaving is used, exactly like the tires for the World Superbike Championship. Low-profile tires have a reinforced "seamless" viscose cord. These solutions provide a synergistic effect with the optimized tread profile, ensuring exceptional grip at maximum lean angles, allowing for more precise control and "opening up" when exiting turns very early.
Another feature of the tire is the tread pattern design, called Flash. The choice was made based on the shape of the drainage grooves, reminiscent of lightning. It promotes more intensive water evacuation from under the contact patch.
Main features of Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV
- reinforced carcass and optimized tread profile provide exceptional grip and handling;
- lightning-shaped drainage grooves reduce the risk of losing control of the bike on wet pavement;
- rubber compound with ultra-high "silica" content increases stability of grip on dry and wet pavement;
- use of multiple compounds provides stability in any driving mode.
