At the recent Milan Motor Show (Read our), Pirelli unveiled a new ultra sporty tire at home: the Diablo Rosso Corsa.

Positioned at the top of the "Supersport-road" range of the sole supplier of the Superbike and Supersport world championships, the Diablo Rosso Corsa replaces the Diablo Corsa III (yes, we must follow!) "By considerably increasing its added values ​​in terms of performance" , specifies Pirelli.

Faithful to his habits, the transalpine tire manufacturer drew technical solutions from the bubbling cauldron of the world Superbike, in which seven manufacturers and 30 riders competed relentlessly during the 2009 season (read our).

The Diablo Rosso Corsa is the subject of three patents filed and uses EPT technology (Enhanced Patch Technology: controlled deformation of the tire to optimize the rubber surface on the ground on the angle) and a "tri-rubber" construction. at the rear: the one located on the tread would guarantee an appreciable longevity on the road, while the rubber zones on the shoulders would come directly from the WSBK and would allow to "push the limits", as well on winding roads as on circuit !

Designed for bikers – pilots? – experienced "able to know which tire to use on the track or on the road", says Pirelli, the Diablo Rosso Corsa has a deliberately sharp design while the wide smooth surfaces on the shoulders suggest a certain restraint in the wet !

Nevertheless, the Italian manufacturer assures that "the central part features calibrated treads, with an aggressive rubber design allowing a rapid rise in temperature and a regular evacuation of the water for excellent control in wet conditions."

Guaranteeing the performance of a racing tire on a road-approved product and benefiting from "incomparable comfort for the pilot, guaranteed safety whatever the weather conditions and incredible performance on the circuit", assures Pirelli, the Diablo Rosso Corsa s therefore announced as a tire to be discovered urgently for owners of sports cars !

The Diablo Rosso Corsa will be available from January 2010 in the following sizes 120 / 70ZR17 at the front and 180 / 55ZR17, 190 / 50ZR17, 190 / 55ZR17 and 160 / 60ZR17 at the rear from April 2009.
