PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO IV CORSA
The PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO IV CORSA is a high-performance hypersport motorcycle tyre and the fiercer version of the Diablo Rosso IV. It is the sportiest member of the Diablo Rosso family and sits in Pirelli's On-Road Supersport category. It is made for riders who want higher dry grip, sharper handling and steady performance across several hard riding sessions.
Sharper Handling and Stable Lean
The front profile helps the bike lean in earlier and change direction quickly. Its wide contour enlarges the contact patch when leaning, which adds stability. The rear follows a similar geometry, so the front and rear tyres behave in step. Pirelli's carcass technology lets the tyre follow the micro-roughness of the asphalt, giving precise feedback and a sense of control.
Slicker Tread Pattern for a Bigger Contact Patch
The Diablo Rosso IV Corsa uses a slicker version of the Diablo Rosso IV pattern, built to maximise the contact patch for more grip. The centre grooves are a slicker development of Pirelli's patented FLASH groove. The pattern repeats the central grooves in a calculated way and has a large slick area on the shoulders, which Pirelli says gives grip, precision and stability at maximum lean angles. The void/fill ratio is 25% lower than the Diablo Rosso IV, a figure Pirelli measured on the 190/55 ZR 17 rear.
Dual Compound with Soft Racing-Derived Shoulders
Both the front and rear use a dual compound layout with wide soft shoulders. The softer side compound is racing-derived and related to the SC compounds used in Pirelli racing products. Pirelli says the new tread design and compound layout work together to keep performance consistent over repeated hard sessions.
Race-Derived Structure
The tyre uses the same structures as the Diablo Rosso IV, including Pirelli stiff chord technology. Its contours come from Pirelli's World Superbike experience, with a multi-radius design that improves handling.
Who It Suits
This tyre is for riders who want more than a standard supersport tyre, including thrill seekers and bike-tuning enthusiasts. It balances sporty track performance with strong road performance, so it suits demanding riders who want to get the most from their bikes on road and track.
Always confirm the correct tyre size and fitment for your motorcycle before ordering.
