The Pirelli Diablo Rosso II is a high-performance tire engineered for track days and competition use, targeting experienced riders who demand maximum grip and precise handling. This tire is designed with a very soft compound, prioritizing exceptional traction and responsiveness in dry conditions.
The Diablo Rosso II distinguishes itself through its ability to deliver race-level performance. Its construction incorporates a bi-compound design on the rear tire. This design features a high-silica content in the central area, which accounts for 75% of the tire's surface, to provide balanced performance, wet grip, stability, and mileage. The shoulder area uses a fine carbon-black and resins compound that accounts for 25% of the surface to provide sport performance for dry grip at high lean angles. The front tire uses a single compound. The Diablo Rosso II also has an increased regularity of wear, thanks to the improvements on the tread pattern design that in combination with a specific silica compound offers both excellent grip on wet and extended mileage.
Compared to other tires in its category, the Diablo Rosso II with a UTQG treadwear rating of 58 indicates a focus on grip over longevity. This tire is best suited for riders who prioritize lap times and ultimate cornering ability and are willing to trade off tread life for peak performance. The Diablo Rosso II utilizes Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT) which optimizes the contact patch for improved grip. Integrated Contour Shaping (ICS) technology complements the handling and power of modern motorcycles.
