At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV in size 140/70 R 17 M/C 66H TL — the latest and most advanced chapter of the legendary Diablo Rosso family. Engineered as the state of the art in sport tyres for road use, this tyre delivers superb grip across a wide range of conditions, including outstanding wet-weather performance. Drawing directly on Pirelli's World Superbike Championship expertise, the Diablo Rosso IV sets the benchmark in the Supersport segment, covering everything from 600cc Naked and Supersport bikes to powerful Hypernaked machines. Whether you're chasing apexes on a weekend back-road blast or commuting with confidence in mixed conditions, this tyre is built to elevate every ride. Tubeless construction, a radial build, and a speed rating of H (up to 210 km/h) complete the package — making it one of the most capable sport road tyres you can bolt onto your 17" wheel.
Features:
- Race-derived profile: Race-oriented multi-radius contours derived from World Superbike Championship profiles deliver an immediate transition from lean to upright and a quick change in direction, while a flatter shoulder portion provides high grip and line-holding ability while cornering.
- Advanced Rayon carcass structure: Raised specific Rayon cord stiffness — achieved through larger-section, more-twisted strands — differentiates stiffness lean angle by lean angle, delivering a great contact feeling and solid stability sensation.
- Dual compound technology (Cap & Base layout): A dual compound rear design pairs a hard, high-Silica, low-Tg layer for outstanding grip in cold and wet conditions with a softer side layer (activated beyond 35° lean) for excellent grip and brilliant contact feeling.
- FLASH tread pattern icon: Pirelli's signature FLASH center grooves provide directional and wear stability while efficiently draining water from the center to outside the contact patch when upright. FLASH tails of varied length outline mid-lean grooves for right flexibility, efficient water evacuation, and absolute wear uniformity.
- Slicker mid-lean and large shoulder slick areas: Evolved tread design supports the tyre at lean angles where water drainage is unnecessary (over 35°), with a large slick shoulder area resulting in excellent grip and line-holding at extreme lean angles.
- Optimized sidewall height: Provides confident traction during both upright acceleration and corner exit, with balanced front-to-rear contours delivering a superb control feeling and neutral bike behavior.
- Brilliant wet performance: High-Silica compound content and dedicated tread drainage channels ensure outstanding performance in wet and cold conditions.
- Tubeless (TL) radial construction: 140/70 R 17 M/C fitment with a 66H load/speed rating, designed for 17" sport and supersport motorcycle wheels.
