Product Description
  • The new concept tire from Pirelli is called the Diablo Rosso. Instead of using multi- compounds, they use what is called EPT (Enhanced Patch Technology) to ensure a better grip and better performance on the road.
  • Based on their leading experience in the motorcycle racing world, they produced this tire for the street legal (super)sports motorcycles. Sports motorcycles have been increasing their power and torque over the last decade, and the tires need to follow this trend. Current tires are limited, hence the reason Pirelli came out with a new concept.
  • The structure design is aimed to maximize - at every lean angle and every speed - the contact patch; in terms of area, shape and pressure. This combination supports the tread to reach an unbeatable level of grip and stability. The tire structure has been designed in order to get the set synchronized into balanced behavior, with the 2 tires perfectly matched in dynamic use.
  • The patented Zero Degrees steel belt below the tread keeps the tires in the most suitable shape at all times and yet provides enough elasticity for a very progressive feedback and behavior in lean, allied to unbeatable bump absorption. With the support of the compound the zero degrees steel belt also guarantees huge braking stability.

John Richmond,  VA Great tire - great price Not that I'm a tire guru, but these Diablo Rossos are great. Just back from my first track day at VIR, I feel like they held strong and performed well. On top of that, they're reasonably priced. Disregard my "wet traction" and "tread life" rating, because I've only ridden in the dry and not long enough to know tread life.

Julie Portland,  OR Diablo Rosso Sport Tire Review Not quite as sticky as the Dunlop Qualifiers but excellent tires all around. When I read the reviews on this tire, I saw that others who have ordered them compared them straight across to the Qualifiers. NOT so!! The compound is quite a bit stiffer so you don't get quite as sticky results and hence a little less performance in the corners...although still sticks them pretty darn good. It also took a bit longer to rough them up when put on new. I expect to see these tires last a few more miles than the Qualifiers because the compound is harder. I hope that is going to be the truth, as the sticky Qualifiers only lasted me about 4500 miles with a pretty aggressive riding style. I do like these Rossos and if they end up giving me more miles than the Qualifiers, I'll be ordering them again. BTW, these were put on my '06 Ninja 650R.

Jim Lancaster,  PA Pirelli Diablo Rosso Tires The BEST tires I have had on my 06 CBR600RR. The guys on the 1000's I ride with have even more trouble keeping up with me in the corners now.

David Reusch Jr. Florence,  KY Front and rear review I researched like crazy on which tires to purchase for the rider that loves curves yet needs mileage since it's somewhat of a daily commute. I chose these due to the claimed mileage wear by others of about 4-6k miles. The only tires that I have to compare to are the crappy Dunlops that came with my SV650 but WOW. You can pick a line with these tires and they follow that line. I feel very confident in these tires. Haven't tried them in the rain nor can I review on the tread-life so I'm going by rumors on those ratings.

eric baltimore,  MD pirelli tires These are some of the best tires I have ever ridden on! After the initial 100 mile oil slick wore off, the tires felt like I was gliding on a buttery biscuit! I had qualifiers and those were nothing compared to these! I recommend this product to anyone that is a daily rider that rides hard!

Richard Weidman Sturgeon Bay,  WI Rosso Tires Very Smooth and Stable The Rosso tires are the smoothest and most stable tires I have put on my '02 VFR. Although they do not seem to have the stick of the Diablo III, they absorb everything the road can throw at you. With only 500 miles wear is not an issue yet.
