The third generation Diablo Supercorsa SP is coming, and the new Pirelli race replica tyre has already been approved as original equipment on the latest from Ducati. The new Ducati Panigale V4 is the very first motorcycle to come factory-fitted with the tyre, and will receive the Diablo Supercorsa SP in size — 120/70 ZR17 on the front and 200/60 ZR17 on the rear.

The Diablo Supercorsa SP possesses a tread design, profile and structure nearly identical to those of Pirelli racing tyres used in competitions whose regulations require the use of grooved tyres rather than slicks. Development of the SP drew upon Pirelli’s experience as sole tyre supplier for all FIM World Superbike Championship classes, and in particular from the Diablo Supercorsa SC. The SC, which is available in different compounds, is used by the production-derived Supersport and Superstock classes and in all national championships in which Pirelli participates as sole supplier or in open competition with other tyre manufacturers.

For even more sporty customers, the Korbacher have the road-worthy hypersport tire ContiRaceAttack 2 Street new in the program, a racing tire that also copes easily with everyday life on the road and the ContiRaceAttack Comp.End. replaced. If you like it consistently sporty and as a hobby racer on the racetrack is at home, accesses the even tighter ContiRaceAttack 2 with uncompromising racing genes in the versions "soft" or "medium", the optional with reduced air pressure and tire warmers used, maximum performance achieved on the race course.

He releases the ContiRaceAttack Comp. from. These two new releases shine thanks to the BlackChili compound with extremely stable and grip properties.

Pirelli is confirmed as Official Tyre Supplier for all classes of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship until 2023

With the extension of the partnership with Dorna WSBK Organization for a further three years, the union born in 2004 between Pirelli and the production-derived series will boast a unique twenty-year collaboration in motorsport.

In response to the evolution of supersport machines, and confirming Pirelli's role as a leading tyre manufacturer in the international racing scene, starting from 2020 all WorldSBK Championship classes will use Pirelli DIABLO Superbike slick tyres.

In the WorldSBK category the larger sizes become the new reference as well as the rear 190/60 for WorldSSP and the switch to slick tyres will also gradually involve the national championships in which Pirelli participates. The SCX option will enter the range and also be available on the market.

Specially developed for Maxi Classic Racing, this tyre has already proven its superior performance. While still in development, the Bridgestone Battlax Classic Racing CR11 was a winner at the FIM Europe classic endurance championship (EEC). At the 4-hours Biker’s Classic in Spa-Francorchamps, it helped #10 Poweracing-Japauto take home first place and team #5 Roadrunner pick up the second place. In damp and tricky conditions, the best lap time and the
fastest pace were recorded with Bridgestone tyres.

The Battlax Classic Racing CR11 offers super-fast warm up - vitally important for races that don’t allow tyre warmers. The tread pattern is derived from Bridgestone’s grooved racing tyre, Battlax Racing R11. It gives the rider consistent grip and superior performance. With its high-performance V-MS-Belt (variable monospiral belt) construction on the front, this tyre provides

excellent braking stability and offers extra feedback when cornering. On the rear tyre, a combination of high-racing performance compounds in a 3-layer compound configuration boost performance in the wet. Compliant with the FIM Europe regulations for the Maxi Classic, this tyre is your ticket to racing success.
Available from March 2020, in size 110/80 R18 for the front and 150/65 R18 for the rear.
