Pirelli diablo rosso corsa 3 review2/20/2024 ![]() ![]() MMP is mostly flat, but its lack of reference points and mix of fast, sweeping corners makes it technically challenging. ![]() It’s a riot to ride and one of the best stoplight-to-stoplight racers ever! In terms of handling quirks, the Diavel requires slightly more inside bar pressure when halfway leaned over to keep it angling steeper through a corner, but overall the Diavel feels more like a large Monster than any cruiser. Although the Diavel looks big and ungainly in some photos, it actually turns in much easier than anticipated thanks to the tall rear Rosso. Pirelli chose an unusually tall 45-series meat for the 240mm-wide Diavel tire, which is in contrast to more typical fat cruiser tires like the 240/40-18 on Harley’s Rocker.

Wet grip is optimized by new developments in the tread’s shape and inclination, plus its Extreme Cohesive Compound (ECC) that is said to have the optimum balance between chemical grip and water drainage.įirst off was a street ride that wended its way from Salt Lake City to Miller Motorsports Park. less grooves) by 2% versus the old Diablo Rosso. The Rosso II’s front tire uses a single compound, a variation of what’s used in the Rosso Corsa, featuring a new tread design, a new polymer structure and an optimized silica-to-carbon-black ratio. In comparison, the racier Rosso Corsa version has the outer 25% of its rear tire in the softer compound used in the Diablo Supercorsa and shared with the FIM World Superstock SC2 compound. The 12.5% of the rear tire’s edges are a softer, grippier compound borrowed from the Rosso Corsa’s center rubber. The middle 75% of the rear tire uses high-molecular-weight reactive polymers for good stability and mileage. The Diablo Rosso II’s rear tire is derived from the original Diablo Rosso, but it now uses dual compounds and a reduced amount of tread grooves. ![]()
