At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Powercruiser in 150/80 B 16 M/C 77H TL REINF — a tire that brings genuine DIABLO-family racing DNA to the world of sport cruisers and performance baggers. Born from Pirelli's expertise in Supersport and racing development, the Diablo Powercruiser is engineered for riders who demand sporty handling, top-tier grip, and reliable traction out of corners, all while delivering excellent behavior in wet conditions. Whether you're a performance bagger builder, a club-style enthusiast, or a power cruiser rider who pushes the limits of heavyweight V-twin machines, this tire is designed to be the new benchmark in its segment. With its bias-ply belted construction, reinforced carcass, and slick-shouldered tread design inspired by the legendary Diablo Rosso IV sportbike tire, the Powercruiser elevates every ride — from canyon carving to open-road touring.
Features:
- Race-Inspired Diablo Family DNA: Developed using Pirelli's Supersport and Racing expertise, delivering sport-first performance in the custom-touring segment.
- Iconic Flash Tread Pattern: Central grooves shaped around Pirelli's signature "Flash" icon provide directional stability, even wear, and efficient water drainage from the center to the outside of the contact patch.
- Slick Shoulder Design Inspired by the Diablo Rosso IV: Wide slick areas on the shoulders and mid-lean zones give exceptional grip and line-holding confidence at higher lean angles.
- Cap & Base Dual-Compound Technology: A softer lateral compound maximizes grip at lean, while a harder central compound substrate delivers stability, durability, and consistent performance under hard acceleration.
- Silica-Enriched Compound: An innovative mix of resins, plasticizers, and high-dispersion silica enables quick warm-up and strong grip even on wet surfaces, with a wider effective operating temperature range.
- Patented Pirelli Mixing Process: Maximizes dispersion of all compound components in the polymer matrix for a high level of homogeneity and consistent traction in all conditions.
- Multi-Radius, More Pointed Profiles: Profiles are sharper than typical custom-touring tires for quicker turn-in, faster changes of direction, and greater cornering agility, while the flatter shoulder delivers a larger contact patch in corners.
- Optimized Sidewall Height: Provides excellent traction under hard acceleration on the straight and at corner exit, with front-rear profile balance tuned for neutral, predictable handling.
- Bias-Ply Belted Construction (REINF): Reinforced carcass built for the demands of heavyweight cruisers and baggers; fits 16-inch wheels with a recommended width of 3.00–4.25 in.
- Premium Sidewall Design: High-contrast lettering with the "Flash" icon, DIABLO logo, and "Plunga" shape deliver a bold, sporty aesthetic that matches the tire's performance character.
- Size & Specs: 150/80 B 16 M/C 77H TL REINF — tubeless, blackwall, bias-ply construction for 16-inch rims.
