pirelli diablo rosso ii

The Pirelli DIABLO line of motorcycle tires represents the pinnacle of motorcycle tire technology. The Diablo Rosso II is the ultimate road tire for absolute road use, making it the sportiest and most versatile tire in the Rosso Generation. Its newest supersport radial construction is perfect for wet and dry conditions, making it an excellent choice for any rider. The DIABLO line of motorcycle tires represents the very best in the industry, and this review will explore the features and benefits of the Diablo Rosso II.

We tested the Diablo Rosso II on a Ducati Diavel and a full-Monty BMW S1000RR. Both bikes were tested at Magny-Cours circuit, where we rode a bike with similar weight and balance. During testing, we were strict about running the tyres at near road pressures, since race-grade tires have to be run at high pressures to perform properly.

pirelli diablo rosso ii performance

The Pirelli Diablo Rosso II is another tyre from the company’s Diablo range, and it’s been specially developed to provide optimal handling for sports bikes. Its tread pattern was inspired by the Diablo Rosso Corsa, but with an enlarged slick area at the centre rib and extreme shoulder. It’s a more durable compound than its predecessor, but still feels softer than its predecessors.

The performance of the Diablo Rosso II tires was evaluated by over 100 riders, including many who were novices at racing on the track. The tire was tested on an ABS-equipped Honda CBR600RR in southern Europe. The Diablo Rosso II’s performance was deemed superior to its closest competitors, and they were deemed safe for every type of rider. Despite these concerns, however, the company’s tires have been one of the best performing street bikes.

The Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Street Sport 180/55ZR17 rear motorcycle tire is a part of the high-displacement bike series. These bikes typically generate 200 horsepower. Some models even achieve two hundred horsepower. In terms of price, they are quite expensive. Nevertheless, they deliver great performance and durability. Among them is the Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV.

The Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyre is an ultra-premium product. It has advanced features and is designed for top-level sports bikes. This premium tyre is pricey. Prices start at INR 6500 for a front tyre and rise to over INR 8000 for the rear tyre. The premium features of this tyre include better grip and a smooth ride.

pirelli diablo rosso ii test

The Pirelli Diablo Rosso II motorcycle tyre is a high-performance tyre with excellent control. The company’s slogan, “Power is nothing without control,” is a fitting complement to this tire. It is designed for street use but can also handle rough French country roads. The 240/45 ZR 17 tire is inspired by SKB and offers rounded shapes. The 240/40 ZR 18 has a square shape.

The first time we sat on a new tyre, we were pleasantly surprised by its performance. Pirelli released a graphic that showed a similar high-speed stability and track wear to the original DRC. The biggest difference, however, was the dramatic improvement in lap times. During our test ride at the Mugello circuit, we saw test riders gain two or three seconds over the previous DRC.
