At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Powercruiser in 160/70 B 17 M/C 79V TL REINF — a race-bred masterpiece engineered for riders who demand sportbike-level performance from their cruiser or performance bagger. Born from Pirelli's legendary Diablo family and drawing direct inspiration from the iconic Diablo Rosso IV, the Powercruiser brings uncompromising grip, razor-sharp handling, and outstanding wet-weather confidence to the custom-touring world. Whether you're dragging floorboards through tight switchbacks or opening up on a long highway stretch, this reinforced bias-ply tire is built to match your ambitions.
Features:
- Purpose-Built for Sport Cruisers & Performance Baggers: Specifically engineered to meet the demands of high-powered custom motorcycles — including Performance Baggers and Club Style builds — delivering sporty handling, top grip, and excellent traction out of corners.
- Diablo Rosso IV–Inspired Tread Pattern: The slicker mid-lean tread design is inspired by the Diablo Rosso IV, providing support at higher lean angles, with a wide slick area on the shoulders and mid-lean zone for excellent grip and line-holding while cornering.
- Iconic Flash Tread Pattern: The signature Flash icon at the center features a pair of grooves that deliver directional stability and even wear, while the varied-length Flash tails efficiently evacuate water from the contact patch for outstanding wet-weather performance.
- Slick Shoulder Design: A wide slick shoulder area maximizes the contact patch during hard leans, enhancing dry grip and giving riders the confidence to push deeper into corners.
- Dual-Compound Technology with Silica: Advanced silica-enriched compounds with a softer lateral compound for exceptional lean-angle grip and a harder central compound for stability, durability, and consistency across all riding conditions.
- Multi-Radius Profile: More aggressive and pointed than typical custom-touring profiles, enabling quicker turn-in response and precise, neutral handling while the flatter shoulder delivers superior cornering grip.
- Reinforced (REINF) Bias-Ply Construction: The reinforced carcass is rated 79V and designed for tubeless (TL) fitment on 17" rims, offering enhanced load capacity and structural integrity suited to heavier cruiser and bagger applications.
- Racing-Inspired Structure: Developed with input from Pirelli's racing division, incorporating cutting-edge technology from Pirelli's Supersport and Racing sectors for race-DNA performance on the road.
- High-Contrast Sidewall Design: Premium high-contrast lettering and the iconic Diablo Flash logo on the sidewall deliver a bold, prestigious aesthetic that complements the most custom builds.
- Optimized Wet & Dry Performance: The Flash pattern's efficient water drainage and silica compound formulation ensure confident grip and stability in both dry and wet riding conditions.
