New road tyre is evolution of the Diablo Rosso II, suitable for naked
bikes, sportbikes and sport tourers Pirelli has introduced the Diablo
Rosso III, a new road tyre to replace the Diablo Rosso II with improved
handling and grip to cope with increasingly powerful bikes that have
advanced safety systems such as traction control. The tyre benefits from
Pirelli's experience as the spec tire supplier in the World Superbike
Championship. the Diablo Rosso III is suitable mostly for naked bikes
and sport bikes, but is also capable of use on sport touring bikes; the
tire is designed for road use but "does not shy away from even the most
extreme use" on the racetrack.
The new tread pattern is directly from the Diablo Supercorsa DOT race
tire, but modified to be more suitable for road use, and especially for
use in the wet. The main technical characteristics of the DIABLO ROSSO™
III are:
1) The twin-compound rear tyre with high percentages of silica which
provides grip in all conditions giving mileage of reference in the
supersport tyre segment
2) The racing-derived profiles
3) The tread which presents a pattern that is an evolution of the flash
symbol already present on the DIABLO™ Supercorsa
These characteristics translate into the following advantages offered to
motorcyclists by the new DIABLO ROSSO™ III:
1) The handling from the sporting background transmits to the
motorcyclist a strong feeling of safety and reliability of the bike.
This is made possible by the combined characteristics of profile and
structure that are derived directly from the world of Superbike
competition where the ability to lean into a bend quickly and with
stability through corners is fundamental.
2) The exceptional grip, not only in the dry where historically Pirelli
is a reference point for all competitors, but now also in the wet,
thanks to the new materials and experience gained by the brand in other
segments. Excellent qualities in the dry are no longer sufficient
because motorcyclists are now asking for better performance in all
weather conditions and with a wider spectrum of operating temperatures.
3) Performance consistency over time because the qualities of the tyre
are long-lasting and make it fully usable and available for its whole
lifecycle.
