120/70 R17 SC1 NHS Pirelli Diablo Superbike

The Pirelli Diablo Superbike is a pure slick competition tyre developed for riders who demand maximum performance on closed circuits. As the official tyre used in the World Superbike Championship, it is built to deliver the highest possible levels of grip, stability and precision under extreme racing conditions. Every aspect of its construction — from compound chemistry to carcass stiffness — is derived from Pirelli’s top tier motorsport development.

Designed exclusively for track use, the Diablo Superbike provides rapid warm up, strong edge grip and predictable behaviour at full lean. Its structure and compound options allow riders to tailor performance to track temperature, surface type and riding style, making it suitable for professional racers and experienced track day riders alike.

Key Technical Characteristics

Racing Derived Compounds and Carcass Materials The tyre uses compounds and reinforcement materials developed through Pirelli’s work on world level circuits. These materials are engineered to deliver maximum traction, stability under heavy load and consistent performance across multiple heat cycles.

Profile Designed for Extreme Lean Angles The tyre profile is shaped to provide fast turn in, strong lateral support and stable behaviour at high lean. This geometry helps maintain a large, uniform contact patch during aggressive cornering.

Optimised for Electronic Rider Aids The tyre’s stiffness and compound behaviour are tuned to work effectively with modern traction control and racing ABS systems, helping electronics deliver smoother intervention and improved drive out of corners.

Usage Notice
