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.
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."
