Pirelli DIABLO ROSSO™ CORSA fit the new Ducati 959 Panigale
The Pirelli DIABLO ROSSO™ CORSA is a versatile hypersport tyre available for use on the road and track, designed for modern faired and naked sport bikes. They embody the three founding souls of the Pirelli sport range, combined in one product: DIABLO™, the prestigious brand which Pirelli has been providing since the beginning of the new millennium, undisputed in the bike racing and hypersport world, Rosso illustrating the all-Italian Pirelli passion for motor sport competition and Corsa; the most noble expression of power in race tyres with undisputed performance.
Designed and developed based on the latest generation of powerful street bikes characterised by impressive technological equipment and electronics systems, DIABLO ROSSO™ CORSA offers incredible performance thanks to the continuous research that Pirelli conducts in the radial tyre field for the FIM Superbike World Championship, the know-how acquired through vast experience in high performance segments, new techniques of road contact area optimisation in any riding conditions and the use of its racing derived tread with multi-compound zones.
The DIABLO ROSSO™ CORSA profiles stem from Superbike World Championship experience and were designed specifically to ensure optimum distribution of power in the road surface contact area. Therefore, the contact area with the tarmac is wider and all the power can be transmitted to the ground. Thanks to ICS (Ideal Contour Shaping) technology, born from the skill of Pirelli engineers and the support of sophisticated computerised modelling systems, DIABLO ROSSO™ CORSA provides excellent support during cornering and a great feeling of confidence in turns at maximum acceleration.
The structure was designed to maximise the contact area at any leaning angle in terms of surface, shape and distribution of pressure, allowing the tyre to reach exceptional levels of grip and stability. In fact, this tyre uses the Pirelli EPT (Enhanced Patch Technology) patent derived from WSBK experience for an optimised road contact area at any lean angle on the road and track in order to ensure total riding confidence and power transfer to the ground in any condition.
