At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Rosso III 240/45 ZR17 M/C (82W) TL — the ultimate rear tire for sport and supersport riders who refuse to compromise between everyday usability and race-derived performance. Born from Pirelli's storied involvement in the World Superbike Championship, the Diablo Rosso III delivers unprecedented handling feel, confidence-inspiring wet-weather grip, and a long-lasting tread life in a single high-performance package. Whether you're carving canyon roads or pushing hard on a track day, this tire is engineered to keep you planted, precise, and in control at every lean angle.
Features:
- WSBK-Derived Technology: Developed using Pirelli's experience and technology from the World Superbike Championship, ensuring top-tier sport performance on street-going motorcycles.
- Bi-Compound Construction: The rear tire features a bi-compound profile divided in a 40-20-40% proportion — a high-performance silica side compound covers 80% of the total tread area for maximum grip at lean, while the central 20% is optimised for stability and mileage.
- 100% Silica Side Compound: The high-performance shoulder compound uses a 100% silica formulation, improving grip across a wide range of temperatures for optimal traction in all conditions.
- Flash Racing Tread Pattern: The iconic "flash" tread pattern is derived directly from the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa competition tire, promoting uniform wear for consistent performance throughout the tire's entire lifecycle while efficiently dispersing water.
- Outstanding Wet Performance: The tread design is highly effective for water dispersal, making the Diablo Rosso III an extremely safe and high-performing tire in wet conditions.
- Large Footprint Area: An enlarged contact patch delivers improved adherence and superior traction during high-speed cornering.
- WSBK-Derived Profile: Provides agile response, quick turn-in, and smooth transitions for a new generation of sport riding behavior.
- Tubeless (TL) Construction: Ready for direct fitment on tubeless-compatible rims with no inner tube required.
- Size & Speed Rating: 240/45 ZR17 M/C (82W) — (W)-rated for speeds exceeding 168 mph, with a load index of 82.
- Radial Construction: Sport radial build for precise control, stable high-speed feedback, and enhanced cornering capabilities.
