At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Rosso™ IV in 200/55 ZR 17 M/C (78W) TL — the latest and most advanced chapter of the legendary Diablo Rosso family, engineered to set the benchmark in the Supersport segment. Built for riders who demand race-bred performance on the street, this rear tire brings World Superbike Championship technology to your everyday ride, delivering brilliant grip in both wet and dry conditions, razor-sharp cornering response, and consistent, lasting performance across its full lifecycle. Whether you're carving canyon roads on a hypernaked or pushing hard on a supersport, the Diablo Rosso IV is built to match the demands of modern high-performance motorcycles.
Features:
- WSBK-Derived 3-Wire Strand Lyocell Carcass: A racing-like structure developed from World Superbike Championship expertise, featuring a 3-wire strand Lyocell construction that delivers a significantly lower deformation ratio than typical street tires — resulting in superb traction during full-throttle acceleration at any lean angle.
- Race-Oriented Multi-Radius Profile: Profiles derived directly from WSBK championship tires, with multi-radius sharp contours for immediate lean-to-upright transitions, quick direction changes, and a flatter shoulder section that maintains high grip and line-holding through corners.
- Full Silica Dual Compound Rear: The silica-enriched dual compound ensures quick warm-up, significant grip levels regardless of lean angle — including in wet conditions — and exceptional riding smoothness throughout the tire's life.
- 5-Zone Compound Layout with Endurance-Racing Rubber: An innovative 5-zone compound layout shifts the performance balance at high lean angles toward thrust boost, managing the extreme cornering speeds and power outputs of modern superbike and hypernaked motorcycles.
- Outstanding Wet Performance: High silica content and optimized compound formulation deliver outstanding grip in cold and wet conditions, with side softer layers accessed at lean angles over 35° providing brilliant contact feeling and cornering confidence.
- Iconic Flash Tread Pattern: The distinctive PIRELLI "Flash" lightning icon forms the central grooves of the tread, ensuring directional stability, wear uniformity, and effective water evacuation when riding upright.
- Evolved Profile vs. Predecessor: Compared to the Diablo Rosso III, the 200/55 ZR 17 features a profile approximately 10mm higher in the middle and approximately 9mm wider on the sides, with an optimized shoulder curvature for greater cornering support and traction.
- Optimized Sidewall Height: Provides confident traction during both upright acceleration and corner exit, with a balanced front-and-rear contour pairing for superb control and neutral bike behavior.
- Designed for Supersport, Naked & Crossover Bikes: Purpose-built for high-displacement and high-performance motorcycles, including Superbike, Hypernaked, and sporty crossover machines — delivering the right performance characteristics for each rider type.
- Tubeless (TL) Construction: 200/55 ZR 17 M/C (78W) tubeless fitment, ready for direct mounting on compatible 17-inch rims.
