At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II in 160/60 ZR 17 M/C (69W) TL — the second generation of the legendary DIABLO ROSSO™ family, engineered to deliver true supersport performance for everyday road use. Born from Pirelli's deep heritage in the World Superbike Championship, the Diablo Rosso II is the sportiest and most versatile road-oriented tire of the Rosso generation, purpose-built for supersport and naked bikes that demand top performance in all conditions — from wet city streets to fast, twisting back roads. With race-derived technologies transferred directly to the street, this is a tire that raises confidence and puts you firmly in control at every lean angle.
Features:
- Bi-Compound Rear Construction: Combines a high silica content compound blended with reactive polymer across the central 75% of the tread for balanced wet grip, stability, and long mileage, while the shoulder area (25%) uses a fine carbon-black and resins compound for maximum dry grip and sport performance at high lean angles.
- Pirelli Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT): Developed through WSBK racing experience, EPT optimizes the contact patch geometry at all lean angles, delivering consistent road contact, improved safety, and enhanced control in all riding situations.
- Integrated Contour Shaping (ICS): Maximizes the contact patch area by ideally mapping tire profiles to complement the handling and power delivery of modern motorcycles, resulting in strong improvements in stability, wet performance, and corner safety.
- Functional Groove Design (FGD): A restyled tread pattern specifically engineered to optimize wet behavior, improve wear regularity, and offer a land/sea ratio with more surface contact for greater confidence and enhanced power transfer in the dry.
- Slick Shoulder Area: An increased slick area on the shoulder maximizes grip at full lean angle, boosting confidence and delivering top cornering performance — a design inspired by the race-proven DIABLO ROSSO™ Corsa.
- Supersport Radial for All Conditions: Designed for both wet and dry riding, delivering reliable traction, stability, and exceptional handling across a full range of road environments and weather conditions.
- Original Equipment Pedigree: A consistent choice as original equipment by top motorcycle manufacturers worldwide, celebrated by the specialized press for its excellent value-for-money performance.
