DIABLO ROSSO CORSA
The latest release from Pirelli for 2010 will run along side the Diablo Rosso and offer riders a true hypersport tyre for use on the road.
Pirelli's continuous development of radial competition tyres in WSBK, the know how acquired through an extensive experience in high performance segments and the cooperation with world class bike manufacturers, have made it possible for Pirelli to improve the performances of the well established Diablo Corsa III. This development has been focused and adapted to the latest generation of machinery, characterised by important technological features and electronic aids such as: ABS braking now available on a wide variety of liter bikes, dynamic traction control systems from Ducati and BMW, advanced electronic management systems, multi-setting suspensions, and racing-oriented slipper clutches. Diablo Rosso Corsa tyre profiles are derived from WSBK racing experience, specifically engineered to deliver the optimal distribution of forces in the contact patch area. The footprint area is therefore enlarged and all available horsepower can be transmitted to the ground. Utilizing ICS (Ideal Contour Shaping) technology, an integration of the handcrafted care of Pirelli engineers with the support of sophisticated computer modeling systems, Diablo Rosso Corsa profiles full support while leaning and great confidence in cornering exits at full throttle.
Diablo Rosso Corsa tread design is the adaptation of the innovative concepts arriving from the supersport reference tyre, the Diablo Rosso. The result is a stunning tyre with a captivating design and a 7% land/sea ratio, which means more rubber on the ground. Diablo Rosso Corsa tread design is characterised by: - Patented concept of differentiating longitudinal grooves from side grooves in order to reduce total land/sea ratio without sacrificing water shedding capability
- Both front and rear patterns are designed with FGD (Functional groove design) technology offering racetrack performance (closer to a racing Slick) and greater control on wet surfaces.
