At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV in 180/60 ZR 17 M/C (75W) TL — the latest and most refined chapter in Pirelli's legendary Diablo Rosso family. Engineered as the state of the art in sport tires for road use, the Diablo Rosso IV delivers breathtaking performance in both wet and dry conditions, making it the benchmark choice in the Supersport segment. Whether you're pushing a high-displacement Superbike, a Hypernaked, or a 600cc Supersport machine, this rear tire is built to rise to the challenge. Pirelli's World Superbike Championship expertise flows directly into this tire's race-derived structure, compounds, and profiles — giving you racetrack confidence on every road ride.
Features:
- WSBK-Derived Rayon Structure: Features a Rayon 2-wire strand structure with raised cord stiffness — up by more than 30% versus the Diablo Rosso III — for a lower end-count that gives the compound more space to perform and delivers outstanding contact feeling with solid stability.
- Race-Oriented Multi-Radius Profile: Contours derived from World Superbike Championship geometry; sharp multi-radius shoulders deliver an immediate lean-to-upright transition and quick direction changes, while a flatter shoulder portion provides high grip and line holding mid-corner.
- Full Silica Dual Compound: The full silica dual compound rear ensures quick warm-up, significant grip at all lean angles (including wet conditions), and smooth, consistent ride quality with excellent wear uniformity across the contact patch.
- Superb Wet & Dry Grip: High silica content and low Tg deliver outstanding grip in cold and wet conditions, while the softer side layer (engaged at lean angles over 35°) provides excellent grip and brilliant contact feeling in the dry.
- FLASH Icon Tread Pattern: Pirelli's signature dual center grooves provide directional stability and consistent wear stability throughout the tire's life.
- Optimized Sidewall Height: Engineered sidewall height delivers confident traction during both upright full-throttle acceleration and corner exit for a neutral, predictable bike feel.
- Supersport Road Use Rating: Radial tubeless (TL) construction; size 180/60 ZR 17 M/C (75W) — purpose-built for high-performance sport motorcycles requiring best-in-class road performance.
- Outstanding Stability in Wet: Tread geometry optimized to drain more water as speeds increase, providing outstanding wet-weather stability and safety at all lean angles and loads.
