180/60 R17 75W SC2 Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 SC

The Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 SC is a fourth generation treaded racing tyre developed directly from Pirelli’s World Superbike programme. It is engineered for competitive riders and serious track day users who require maximum grip, precise steering and consistent performance across a wide range of circuit conditions. The SC V4 shares structural principles and materials with the Diablo Superbike slick, giving it race level stability and feedback while retaining the versatility of a treaded design.

Compared with the previous V3 generation, the SC V4 introduces updated carcass materials, revised structural cords and new compound formulations to improve rigidity, shock absorption and traction at high lean angles. Its profile and tread layout are designed to maximise the contact patch, support aggressive corner entry and maintain stability during hard acceleration.

Key Technical Characteristics

Fourth Generation Racing Development The SC V4 is the latest evolution of Pirelli’s treaded race tyre, offering increased grip potential and reduced lap times. Its construction and compounds are designed to deliver peak performance in competitive environments.

Updated FLASH Style Groove Layout The new groove geometry provides consistent thrust and stability across the full lean range. This helps maintain predictable behaviour during rapid transitions and repeated high load cornering.

Compounds Derived from World Superbike Racing The SC V4 uses compounds developed through Pirelli’s involvement in the World Superbike Championship. These materials provide exceptional mechanical grip, fast warm up and strong traction on both abrasive and low grip circuits.

Race Bred Structural Package The carcass shares its design philosophy with the Diablo Superbike slick, using wider section structural cords with a high fibre count. This increases rigidity while improving shock absorption, helping the tyre maintain shape and stability under extreme load.

Racing Profiles and Contact Patch Optimisation The profile is shaped to increase the width and length of the contact area, improving corner entry precision, line holding and high speed stability. This geometry supports earlier throttle application and smoother trajectory control.

Compound Options

The Diablo Supercorsa SC V4 is available in three compounds for both front and rear fitments:

SC1

• Front: maximum feel and agility
• Rear: peak performance in high temperatures and on low abrasion circuits

SC2

• Front: maximum stability and consistency
• Rear: ideal for cooler conditions or highly abrasive surfaces

SC3

• Designed for extended track sessions and endurance use
• Not intended for professional racing but offers long lasting performance

Technical Summary

The Diablo Supercorsa SC V4 is designed for riders who want:

• Race level grip and precision from WSBK derived compounds
• A larger, more stable contact patch for braking and cornering
• Consistent performance across heat cycles
• Sharper turn in and improved line accuracy
• Earlier corner exit acceleration from increased structural rigidity

Its compound system, carcass design and racing influenced profile work together to deliver a tyre that excels in competitive track environments while remaining predictable and confidence inspiring for experienced riders.
