At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV in 180/55 ZR17 M/C (73W) TL — the fourth-generation evolution of Pirelli's legendary Diablo Rosso supersport line, engineered for riders who refuse to compromise between road confidence and track-inspired performance. Built with race-derived technology straight from the World Superbike Championship, this tubeless radial rear tire delivers outstanding grip in all conditions, a wide operating temperature range, and the kind of precise, communicative feedback that makes every twist of the wrist feel connected. Whether you're carving mountain roads on a naked, crushing apexes on a supersport, or exploring the limits of a sporty crossover, the Diablo Rosso IV is the tire that rises to meet you.
Features:
- Size & Fitment: 180/55 ZR17 M/C (73W) TL — tubeless radial construction with a 17-inch rim diameter, W speed rating, and 73 load index, purpose-built for high-displacement supersport, naked, and crossover motorcycles.
- WSBK-Derived Structures & Profiles: Race-oriented profiles and structures derived from the World Superbike Championship deliver agile, quick turn-in, immediate lean-to-upright transitions, and confident high-speed stability.
- Full Silica Dual-Compound Rear: The full silica dual-compound layout (Cap&Base scheme) provides quick warm-up and significant grip at every lean angle — including in wet conditions — along with excellent wear uniformity and riding smoothness.
- Pirelli FLASH Tread Pattern: The iconic FLASH center grooves deliver directional stability, uniform wear throughout the tire's life, and optimized water evacuation from the center outward, keeping the contact patch clear when riding upright.
- Rayon 2-Wire Strand Structure (180/55 ZR17): The rear tire in this size features a Rayon 2-wire strand structure with chord stiffness raised by more than 30% versus the Diablo Rosso III, freeing up more space for the compound to perform and maximizing grip and wear regularity.
- Optimized Void/Fill Ratio: Reduced lateral groove void ratio versus the previous generation increases rubber contact at mid-lean and improves high-speed stability and wear characteristics without sacrificing wet-weather grip.
- Outstanding Wet & Dry Performance: Full Silica compound technology works in concert with the optimized tread design to ensure reliable grip on both wet and dry asphalt — a true all-conditions supersport tire.
- Designed for High-Performance Street Riding: Targeted at supersport, naked, and sporty crossover motorcycles — ideal for 600cc supersport bikes, high-displacement nakeds, and sporty hypernaked machines demanding maximum road performance.
