Video: Pirelli’s New Diablo Rosso III

The battle of the modern-day sport tires is in full force. Various manufacturers have been developing sport-oriented tires and seem to all have chosen to release their final products early this year. So when Pirelli set out to release its own, the company used trickled-down data and technology from its endeavors as the spec-tire manufacturer for World Superbike to create the best sport tire possible. The result? The Diablo Rosso III.

Having spent the last 12 years providing tires for the World Superbike Championship, Pirelli made it a point to develop the Rosso III with the same technologies and features that are found in its own racing tires. Of course, with a company motto, “We sell what we race, we race what we sell,” this holds true. Using these racing technologies, the Rosso III has been developed to improve racetrack handling as well as upgrade both wet and dry performance for everyday users.

We recently spent a day at Motorland Aragon in Spain putting Pirelli’s latest creation to the test. Take a look at a quick video of our first thoughts of the Diablo Rosso III. Be on the lookout for a full first ride review in the June/July issue of Sport Rider Magazine.
