At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Powercruiser in 160/70 R17 M/C 73V TL — a next-generation performance tire that bridges the gap between cruiser capability and true sportbike-level grip. Engineered specifically for sport cruisers and performance baggers that get pushed to their absolute limit, the Diablo Powercruiser carries Pirelli's legendary Diablo DNA into the world of V-twin and heavyweight riding. Developed to meet the demands of modern power cruising trends — from performance baggers to club-style builds — this tire delivers sporty handling, top-tier grip, and outstanding behaviour in both wet and dry conditions. Backed by over 1,000 wet and dry tests, 600+ telemetry-supported evaluations, and nearly 18,500 miles of real-world validation, the Diablo Powercruiser is ready to transform your ride.
Features:
- Iconic Pirelli 'Flash' Tread Pattern: Center grooves built around Pirelli's signature Flash icon provide directional stability, even wear, and efficient water draining from the center to the outside of the contact patch.
- Diablo Rosso IV-Inspired Design: Tread pattern with slicker mid-lean areas inspired by the Diablo Rosso IV, delivering support at higher lean angles and excellent grip and line holding while cornering.
- Wide Slick Shoulder Zone: A wide slick area on shoulders and mid-lean zones maximises the contact patch during hard leans, enhancing dry-condition performance and rider confidence.
- 0-Degree Steel-Belt Radial Construction: Maintains a controlled, consistent footprint across varying lean angles while improving stress distribution throughout the tyre.
- Rounder Profile for Agility: A rounder cross-sectional profile increases turn-in agility and provides a larger contact patch when leaning through corners, compared to traditional cruiser tyres.
- Harder Center Compound for Longevity: A harder center tread section is engineered to extend mileage on big, heavy motorcycles without sacrificing edge-zone performance.
- Excellent Wet-Weather Behaviour: Flash tails of varied length distribute grooves alongside the center design, providing right flexibility, efficient water evacuation, and uniform wear in all conditions.
- High-Visibility Sidewall Design: Features the iconic Flash mark on both the tread and sidewall for a bold, sport-inspired look that matches the performance underneath.
- Race-Validated Engineering: Designed drawing from Pirelli's supersport and racing expertise, and rigorously validated through more than 18,500 miles of real-world testing.
- Size: 160/70 R17 M/C 73V TL — Tubeless fitment for modern 17-inch wheel applications.
