Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV 150/60 ZR17 (66W) TL - Partnumber 3979100
The Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV defines the fourth generation of the legendary Diablo Rosso family, setting the benchmark for high-performance street riding. Engineered specifically for light-to-middleweight SuperSport, naked, and crossover motorcycles, this rear tire seamlessly balances aggressive dry traction with outstanding wet-weather control.
Directly incorporating multi-radius profiles derived from Pirelli’s World Superbike Championship (WSBK) technical development, the Diablo Rosso IV maximizes steering agility and provides smooth feedback at deep lean angles.
🏁 Key Performance Features
-
High-Silica Dual-Compound Architecture: The rear tread layout splits compound zones to optimize longevity and cornering traction. The full-silica base and center stripe maintain quick warm-up times and high chemical grip on slick asphalt, while the softer edge compounds deliver high-thrust traction when leaned over.
-
Rayon Two-Wire Strand Carcass: Developed specifically for rear sizes up to 190/50 ZR17, this structure increases cord stiffness by over 30% compared to previous generations. The wider spacing between cord strands lets the rubber compounds flex dynamically, maximizing rubber-to-road contact feeling and uniform tread wear.
-
WSBK-Derived Multi-Radius Contour: Features sharp, race-oriented contours that deliver immediate transitions from full lean to upright. The flatter shoulder portion expands the footprint under high acceleration while maintaining precise line-holding stability.
-
Optimized Lightning Tread Pattern: Uses a tailored evolution of the iconic Pirelli lightning-bolt tread design. By minimizing the overall amount of lateral grooves, it leaves more continuous rubber on the road surface at mid-lean, translating into immediate handling feedback and superior water dispersal.
