Pirelli introduces new 2019 Diablo range

Pirelli has introduced its new 2019 Diablo range of tyres in compounds intended for track use to racers and motorcyclists all over the world.

The tyres will also be used by WorldSBK and National Championship riders.

The tyre maker’s goal was to increase consistent performance and, especially at the rear, ‘mechanical resistance’.

The new 2019 range includes new compounds for the Diablo Superbike slicks in the standard 200/60 ZR 17 rear and 120/70 ZR 17 front sizes, along with new SCX solution (Extrasoft) in 200/65 size for the Diablo Superbike slick.

This uses an extremely soft compound and was custom designed to be used during qualifiers in preparation for using the single Superpole tyre available to the riders, and possibly for the World Superbike Championship Sprint-Race(which will be officially called the “Tissot Superpole Race”).

Throughout the year, Pirelli says various SCX solutions will be developed with the aim of finding the best one which, by the end of the championship season, will become part of the compounds range available to all motorcycle riders.

New, larger size Diablo Superbike slicks only in the combination of 200/65 ZR17 rear in SC0 compound and 125/70 ZR17 front in SC1 compound.

Diablo Rain tyres with an innovative rear tread pattern and available in two different compounds depending on the operating temperature.

New Diablo Supercorsa SC: a grooved tyre that is now in its third generation and has been completely redesigned in terms of structure, profiles, tread pattern and compounds based on a more consistent performance.
