DIABLO ROSSO III, the new Pirelli supersport tyre which redefines the concept of sports riding taking it to the new level
The latest arrival in the DIABLO™ tyre family, the direct descendent of the renowned and highly rated DIABLO ROSSO™ II, was born from the racetrack for the road and its strong points are sports handling, a high level of grip and long lasting performance.
DIABLO ROSSO™ III is the direct successor of DIABLO ROSSO™ II but raises the bar of sport riding even higher. It extends the qualities of its predecessor, strengthening its features in terms of handling and grip, with long lasting performance. Designed and developed with a view to equip the latest generation of powerful road bikes characterised by significant technological equipment and electronic control systems, DIABLO ROSSO™ III is a tyre born from the racetrack for the road because it takes advantage of all the research and know-how acquired by Pirelli in the FIM Superbike World Championship, in the last twelve years of participation in its capacity as Official Tyre Supplier.
Michelin Australia today launched the new MICHELIN StarCross 5 range of motocross tyres.
Available in four versions (Hard, Medium, Soft and Sand) MICHELIN StarCross 5 tyres are designed to give high levels of performance on all types of ground conditions and terrain found in motocross and cross country races.
Lighter casing has reduced weight by as much as 15 percent, with the average across the StarCross 5 range about 10 per cent. The most obvious by-product of trimming the 'fat' is less unspring weight, which has palpable benefits in terms of braking, handling and general manoeuvrability.
The lighter casing is down to a new production technology, with the three-ply nylon design jettisoned in favour of a two-ply polyester construction. Michelin claims the update has not only reduced tyre 'rebound' but lateral rigidity remains unaffected. And the StarCross 5 tyres also also require less 'warm-up' compared to their predecessors.
The Pirelli SCORPION Trail II shows the best driving characteristics and excellent grip on wet and dry roads and combines this with high mileage. Already recognized as test winner >>, thanks to the new approval from Pirelli, the SCORPION™ Trail II is now also an icon of travel enduros -
the BMW R 1200 GS K50 / R 1200 GS Adventur K51 in the current version – available. Together with the existing homologations for the previous GS and GS Adventure series with four-valve boxer engines (from the R 1100 GS from 1994), the SCORPION™ Trail II is approved for all models of BMW's cult enduro bikes. Fans of the popular “white-blue” all-round motorcycles can therefore plan their next tour with peace of mind, because as a real “adventure touring” motorcycle tire, the new Pirelli is an ideal partner for long journeys and chasing curves on the home route.

MXGP stopped in Valkenswaard and the Dutch Brabant region of Holland for round five of eighteen in the FIM Motocross World Championship and the Grand Prix of Europe. The sunshine and spring weather of a week ago in Arco di Trento (Italy) were but a memory in the nice Dutch city that for most of the weekend remained covered by dark clouds and chilled by temperatures below fifteen degrees. The ‘Eurocircuit’ of Valkenswaard has a long Grand Prix tradition and has a soft sandy surface that digs deep during the races and is physically demanding for the riders.
Even though Bridgestone is still a player at the consumer level with the fabulous 403/404 tire combo, they are ready to make a new move into the motocross market with the Battlecross X40.

EIGHT BRANDS, 11 MODELS, TWO CATEGORIES - This time eight tire manufactures stepped up to the plate, including Avon, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Michelin, Metzeler, Pirelli and Shinko. We asked each to submit one or more samples of its current sport rubber designed for highperformance street riding (not racing) in 120/70-17 front and 190/55-17 rear fitment for a 2014 Suzuki GSX-R1000. We then divided the models into two categories: ‘A’ and ‘B’. The A group are the premium, top-of-the-line tires in each manufacturer’s respective line-up, while the B group represent a more affordable, but still capable sport tire solution.
PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP "This is the tire. The first thing I noticed is how tall the rear tire was. It really modifies the dynamic of the motorcycle. It puts more weight on the front and helps its steering response. What more can you ask for? Immediate warm-up time, incredible Velcro-like grip through all parts of the turn with loads of that precious feel that makes you want to push the bike harder. My favorite tire of the bunch and the one that I’d mount on my bike for performance riding."
