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.

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 !

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 !
