The iconic tread design on the Diablo range featuring the Flash shape, in the centre, stays. Diablo Rosso 4 keeps Pirelli’s FLASH tread pattern This helps riders benefit from the extraordinary performance of modern machinery. 190/55 upwards gains a tri-compound with a five-zone layout. Rear compounds up to 190/50 similarly feature dual compounds allowing fast warm-up, great grip levels in wet and dry and smoothness. Higher content silica areas in the centre generate more heat and grip in colder conditions, whilst softer areas on the edges (over 35 degrees of lean) give better feeling and grip when at lean. Full silica front and rear compounds give solid chemical grip to the road in any condition. This lower ply cord count allows more rubber in the tyre, giving a noticeably reduced noise over rubbish road surfaces. This gives a more stable footprint no matter the lean angle or the amount of power going through it. More tech trickles down using their WSBK derived 3-strand LYOCELL wires on 190+ sizes and stiffer RAYON chords in front and rear sizes below 190. The pattern drains more water as speed increases, perfect for bad conditions. The trademark ‘Flash’ shape tread pattern, which features in the Diablo range, is one of these features. Supplying hundreds of tyres to the best riders, on the best machinery, to hammer them around tracks gives great feedback and development, which eventually trickles down to us road riders. These developments come through Pirelli’s racing pedigree, through supply to the World Superbike championship and the British Superbike championship.
