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.

Glen Florence,  CO Awesome Rosso Tire has great traction in corners. Tire compound is a lot softer than I thought on the edges. I have approx. 500 cornering miles on this tire and so far no signs of wear. I usually run Dunlop Q, but this Rosso is my tire of the future. Wet traction is great also. For all you guys and girls that ride the curves, the Rosso is the way to go.

Gary Lennox Troy,  NY Awesome Tire This tire warms up and hooks up so fast it’s amazing. The tread life is excellent and I have felt more comfortable cornering lower with this tire than any other before. I would definitely recommend this to anyone

matt frederick,  MD Rosso tires. This is the second set I have gone through on my 07 1000rr Honda. These tires will grip very low, even under power in the rain. I get even tread wear of about 5000 miles which is unheard of. I wiped the chicken strips of both tires with in 1hour of riding. Buy these tires!!! I run nothing, but Pirellis now.

Andy Nightingale Beaver Falls,  PA +1 for Diablo Rosso I purchased the Diablo Rosso to replace my worn Corsa III. Was hoping to get a little better life out of my rear tire, without sacrificing much. So far, so good! I have not had any issues at all, and find this tire to be an excellent replacement while still running the Corsa III on the front for the rest of its ~75% tread remaining.

Roberto Miami ,  FL Diablo Rosso Diablo rosso are very good tires. Once I bought them I went for a track day and I had no problem with grip and traction. They warm up in half a lap. I took then a trip and I drove for 4500 miles and I still have some tread. Maybe I will be able to use for another 1000 miles. 100% satisfied.

Nick Sharpsburg,  GA Pirelli- Diablo Rosso Rear Tire The tire feels great when cornering and everyday riding, but at high speeds there is a little feeling of disconnection from the road. Overall, it is a great tire.

Chris Vernon,  BC Diablo Rosso I mounted them with the intent to take them on an aggressive canyon carving tour. I've run them for 2000 miles with very little signs of wear. I felt very confident on them. The profile allows them to drop in nicely. I've taken them from edge to edge on surfaces that were less than ideal and they stuck very well. They have a peculiar feel during gentle corning like maybe they're trying to get onto their sweet spot. Ridden aggressively they perform excellent. Overall I am very pleased. If they last 5000miles I'll buy them again without question. I didn't run them in the wet so I can't comment in that regard.

Austin Kansas City,  MO Great Buy Just put a set on my 2001 R1. Wow. I wasn't expecting to get as low as I did. Makes corning very smooth and very comfortable. These tires kill corners.
