The new tires will be available in 110/70-17 front and140/70-17 rear sizes and reaffirms Pirelli’s commitment to racing and the growing popularity of smaller sportbike racing classes.
SC1 Compound Will be Available in 110/70-17 Front and 140/70-17 Rear Sizes
The new sizing options will be available in Pirelli’s SC1 compound. The front tire has been designed for improved handling and grip, while the rear will continue to have the same feel as the current race-proven DIABLO™ Supercorsa tires that have been winning races and setting records across the United States.
Compound updates with the introduction of the new SCX and larger sizes for the DIABLO SUPERBIKE slicks: innovative rear tread pattern and two different compounds for the DIABLO Rain tyre.
The new technical solutions, produced from constant development work, will beused by WorldSBK and National Championship riders and, in line with Pirelli’s philosophy towards two-wheeled racing, will be available for purchase by all motorcycle riders.
Pirelli, upon completion of intense and constant development work which started in 2017 and continued throughout 2018, is pleased to introduce the new 2019 DIABLO™ range of tyres in compounds intended for track use to racers and motorcyclists all over the world.
The goal that guided this development, which has resulted in the new solutions, was to increase consistent performance and, especially for the rear, ‘mechanical resistance’.
The Pirelli DIABLO Supercorsa SC V3 tyres are grooved solutions intended for track use and dedicated to professional and amateur riders, as well as sport users seeking top spec performance on the track.
These tyres are also available in various compounds in order to take on the different types of asphalt and weather conditions that can be found on circuits all over the world but, unlike the DIABLO™ Superbike tyres, no SCX or SC3 compound is available.
Pirelli presents ANGEL™ GT II, the new tyre that rewrites the rules of the Sport Touring segment in terms of mileage, wet performance and sportiness combined with safety.
The carcass with innovative variable cord end count and high-silica compounds combined with a new tread pattern design - derived from ‘intermediate’ race tyres - set the benchmark for performance and optimise the effect of the electronic rider aids.
PIRELLI ANGEL GT II is the new Sport Touring tyre, the successor of the highly regarded, award winning ANGEL™ GT and the evolution of the Italian brand’s interpretation of the Gran Turismo concept.
Pirelli has designed ANGEL™ GT II with the aim of rewriting the rules of the Sport Touring segment thanks to key features including high mileage, sporty handlingand grip combined with fantastic wet conditions behaviour and great confidence and safety to the rider.
The carcass with innovative variable cord end count over tyre section and high-silica compounds combined with a new tread pattern design - derived from World Superbike ‘intermediate’ race tyres - set the benchmark for performance and optimise the effect of electronic rider aids.
The all-new PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO CORSA II has been named ‘Tyre of the Year’ by Motorcycle News in its debut year, cementing a successful launch for the Italian brand’s latest and most sophisticated road and track tyre.
Utilising technology developed within the World Superbike Championship, where Pirelli is the sole tyre supplier to the series, DIABLO™ ROSSO CORSA II is the company’s first multi-compound front motorcycle tyre. Featuring two compounds applied in three zones on the front tyre and three compounds applied at five zones on the rear to create the ideal combination for modern motorcycles.
The two additions will add a new dimension to CST’s enduro and motorcross collections, further expanding their product portfolio of world-class tyres.
CM-723/CM-724 are specifically suited to the discipline of enduro racing and are FIM approved. The CM-723, for the front of the bike, has small, irregular and polygonal tread blocks to increase traction, whilst the larger CM-724 has a tread pattern that helps disperse mud and lower rolling resistance. Shoulder knobs are a key feature of both tyres, offering more grip and stability to the bike whilst cornering.
The collaboration between Pirelli and MV Agusta continues. The two Italian companies stand out for their industrial history - appreciated all over the world for their shared values such as their ‘Made in Italy’ design and the strong association with motorsport. The result of this synergy is the latest limited edition jewel created by MV Agusta and Pirelli Design, the"Dragster 800 RR PIRELLI", which was presented in a world premiere on Saturday, September 22 at the inauguration of the new P ZERO™ World of Monte Carlo.

The ex-World Champion will hold 12 days of track riding classes at the circuit of Mugello, Italy, using 2018 Yamaha YZF-R1 equipped with PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERBIKE SC3 slick tyres.
Following the fully-booked success of last year’s exclusive track riding school by ex-World Champion Alex Gramigni, Old School Racing powered by Pirelli & Yamaha returns with an enhanced calendar of events held at the beautiful Tuscan circuit of Mugello.
With the continued support of Pirelli and Yamaha, Old School Racing, with Alex Gramigni’s highly qualified and back-to-basics teaching methods, has become one of the most exclusive experiences on the track riding school calendar. His tried and tested formula provides each participant with the use of a brand new Yamaha YZF-R1 2018 machine equipped for the Old School Racing event with the same Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike SC3 slick racing tyres, as used in the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship.
Last year, Dunlop tested new technologies in MXGP races. An improved tread pattern was tested with tie-bars between shoulder blocks.
This, coupled with a new block arrangement provided higher resistance against cracking when ridden on firm intermediate terrain. Dunlop also found this resistance was also helped by an all-new compound with higher shear resistance. By incorporating such technologies into the Geomax MX33, Dunlop has created a tyre with a greater range of capabilities than its forerunner, the race-winning Geomax MX3S.
