On the occasion of the 68th Motorcycle Show in Milan, the Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli presented its new sport-road reference: the Diablo Rosso II.

Successor – as the name suggests! – with the Diablo Rosso, this motorcycle tire adopts bigomme technology at the rear (25% soft rubber on the sides and 75% more enduring rubber in the center) and the EPT (Enhanced Patch Technlogy) system developed in the Mondial Superbike.
