At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsa in 190/55 ZR17 M/C (75W) TL — the fiercer, track-ready evolution of the legendary Diablo Rosso IV supersport tire. Engineered for thrill-seekers and performance-focused riders who demand more than a standard supersport tire, the Diablo Rosso IV Corsa channels Pirelli's World Superbike Championship (WSBK) expertise directly onto your street machine. With a slicker tread design, race-derived compounds, and an aggressive dual-compound layout, this rear tire delivers outstanding dry grip, precise cornering feedback, and consistent performance across multiple severe riding sessions — all in a street-legal, tubeless package purpose-built for supersport, naked, and crossover motorcycles.
Features:
- WSBK-Derived Structures & Contours: Shares the same innovative structures and race-oriented multi-radius profiles as the Diablo Rosso IV, developed directly from Pirelli's World Superbike Championship experience for immediate lean transition, rapid direction changes, and outstanding line holding while cornering.
- Racing-Derived Dual Compound: Features a full-silica centre compound for excellent grip in all conditions, fast cornering, and early throttling, paired with a softer 100% Carbon Black shoulder compound derived directly from Pirelli's Diablo Supercorsa SC racing products — delivering fast warm-up and incredible grip during extreme acceleration at lean angles over 25°.
- Lyocell Three-Wire Strand Carcass: The 190/55 ZR17 size features a three-stranded Lyocell structure — a technology developed through Pirelli's WSBK experience — resulting in a significantly lower deformation ratio than standard road tires for superb traction under full-throttle acceleration at any lean angle.
- Stiff Chord Technology: Structural cords are more rigid and distributed with lower density, leaving greater room for the rubber compound to enhance tire conformability, contact feeling with the road, and precision feedback — even when pushing hard.
- Slicker Tread Design with Evolved FLASH Groove: The tread pattern is the slicker version of the Diablo Rosso IV, with a void/fill ratio 25% lower, maximising the contact patch for increased dry grip. Centre grooves are a solid evolution of Pirelli's patented FLASH groove, delivering directional stability, wear regularity, and water drainage as speeds increase.
- Reduced Lateral Grooves for More Rubber on Road: Fewer lateral grooves compared to the Diablo Rosso IV mean more rubber in contact with the road at mid-lean, increasing tire solidity and lateral thrust while cornering for enhanced hard-handling capability.
- Large Slick Shoulder Area: A larger slick shoulder zone provides outstanding cornering support at extreme lean angles, offering high levels of grip, precision, and stability at maximum lean.
- Performance Consistency Over Multiple Sessions: The calculated repetition of tread grooves offers high resistance to stress, while the optimised compound arrangement ensures a consistent thermal balance for reliable performance across repeated severe riding sessions.
- Zero-Degree Steel Belt Construction: A racing-derived structure with a zero-degree steel belt adapts to different levels of stress without compromising comfort, and works optimally with modern electronic control systems including ABS and traction control.
- Tubeless (TL) Design: Tubeless construction reduces heat buildup and ensures smooth, long-lasting performance.
- Specifications: Size 190/55 ZR17 M/C, load/speed index (75W), tubeless, radial construction, blackwall sidewall — designed for supersport, naked, and crossover motorcycles.
