Description
Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsa – hypersport tyre
The Diablo Rosso IV Corsa is the more focused version of the Diablo Rosso IV, aimed at riders seeking high road performance with occasional track-day use. Its priorities are dry grip, precise handling and repeatable performance under intensive riding.
- Greater dry grip: A less-grooved tread and dedicated compounds increase the usable contact area on dry tarmac.
- Sharper response: A stiffer carcass with a lower thread count conforms effectively to the road and provides direct steering feedback.
- Consistent performance: Fewer grooves help maintain a broad contact patch over repeated demanding sessions.
- Tread design: The reduced-groove evolution of Pirelli’s “FLASH” pattern supports stability and grip through corners.
- Compound layout: The front uses a dual compound, with a harder full-silica centre for stability and wear resistance and softer shoulders that work from 25° of lean. The rear combines a full-silica centre for broad-condition grip with softer, racing-derived shoulders for rapid grip build-up at extreme lean angles.
Developed for sporting road riders and occasional track days, the Diablo Rosso IV Corsa suits high-performance supersport and hypernaked motorcycles. Depending on the approved size, examples include the Yamaha YZF-R1, Honda CBR1000RR, Kawasaki Z H2 and Ducati Streetfighter V4.
