Developed in 2018 and now in its third generation, this race replica tyre is chosen by the most prestigious motorcycle manufacturers in the world as original equipment for their flagship supersports and naked bikes
The new PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP is the ultimate expression of Pirelli technology, its racing soul approved for road use.
In fact, the DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP is the third generation "V3" of Pirelli's highly popular race replica tyre featuring profile and structure that are nearly identical to those of the slick racing tyres that are used in national and international competitions such as the FIM World Superbike Championship.
The DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP establishes a benchmark for the race replica segment and thanks to its innovative features it has been chosen by Ducati as original equipment of its new Panigale V4 model year 2020, currently in action at the Bahrain International Circuit, where the official press launch of the new Italian supersports machine is taking place.
The new DIABLO ROSSO SCOOTER SC brings the full Pirelli racing experience to the scooter world. With special profiles, innovative compounds and a tread design derived from the DIABLO ROSSO™ SCOOTER, Pirelli has created a new street-legal tyre optimised for track applications.
Among the main advantages of DIABLO ROSSO™ SCOOTER SC there is the high grip guaranteed by the high-content Carbon Black compound, designed to guarantee rapid warm-up and excellent resistance to tearing. Thanks to the know-how derived from the developments of the DIABLO SUPERCORSA™ SC range, DIABLO ROSSO™ SCOOTER SC is suitable for use in all classes of scooter competitions.
For 2020 Pirelli announces numerous innovations in the racing range, enriching it with new products and expanding the choice of sizes and compounds of many tyres. Pirelli has always been at the forefront of research and technological development in the racing environment thanks to its decades of commitment in the FIM Superbike World Championship. The main news for next year in the segment of racing tyres for production based motorcycles, in all classes of the Championship, is the use of DIABLO™ SUPERBIKE slick tyres.
For the premier class, in 2020 the Italian brand proposes this product in new increased sizes that allow further improvements in terms of handling and top performance, contributing to the continuous reduction of lap times. New compounds with a wider range of uses also better respond, in terms of versatility and conditions of use, to the needs of professionals as well as track-day enthusiasts.
For the street-legal DIABLO SUPERCORSA SC range, now available in a new SC3 compound which allows top performance over multiple sessions in an extraordinarily wide spectrum of track characteristics and operating temperatures, in line with the new DIABLO SUPERBIKE SC3 version.

Seven Pirelli motorcycle tyres were selected by some of the most prestigious motorcycle manufacturers as original equipment for their most exciting new models that will be available in dealerships in the New Year
Pirelli is again confirmed as the first and natural choice of many motorcycle manufacturers, selecting tyres from the Italian brand as original equipment for their upcoming new models of 2020.
The range of seven tyres were chosen to equip thirty-four new models from nine different motorcycle manufacturers: Ducati, MV Agusta, Aprilia, Kawasaki, Triumph, Indian Motorcycle and the electric Energica Motor Company, Zero Motorcycles and Tacita.
MICHELIN POWER 6 vs MICHELIN POWER 5
As of next year 2020, MICHELIN POWER 5 will also be in its fifth generation.
At the EICMA 2019, Michelin will be launching a whole new range of products, and we will be reporting on each one.
Michelin Power 5 / Michelin Power GP / Michelin Power Cup² / Michelin Slick².
In this order is also the field of application of this sport / supersport motorcycle tire from road to race track.
So - the Power 5 for road and the slick for the racetrack.
In between, then would be the Power GP for occasional race track use and the Power Cup² which should only occasionally on the road, but it may.
The profile designs of the power line are now all pretty much the same, but they differ significantly in the negative part, the carcass and the rubber compound. The carcass is identical on all four new power motorcycle tires.
So the Power 5 has a profile with only 11% negative proportion.
The rubber compound contains silica and carbon black as well as the well-known 2CT technology on the front tire and MICHELIN 2CT + technology on the rear tire.
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.
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.
