DIABLO ROSSO™ III Tyre Launched at MotorLand
Key partner Pirelli presents new supersport tyre at event in Aragón
During the first European round of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship at Spain’s MotorLand Aragón, WorldSBK tyre supplier Pirelli presented the new DIABLO ROSSO™ III to the international press, introducing the supersport tyre of the DIABLO™ family that takes street tyre performance to a new level. The DIABLO ROSSO™ III is a tyre born from the racetrack for the road as it takes advantage of all the research and know-how acquired by Pirelli in the FIM Superbike World Championship.
Pirelli has been the Official Tyre Supplier for all classes of the FIM Superbike World Championship since 2004, and last year was confirmed in this role until the end of the 2018 season. Having arrived in the twelfth year, the technical partnership established between Pirelli with the teams and riders of the FIM Superbike World Championship can already boast the record for being the longest-running control tyre supplier in the history of motorsports at an international level.
Pirelli has made WorldSBK the test bench to develop not only the products used in competition but also many of the tyres used daily by motorcyclists all over the world. Inspired by the philosophy “we sell what we race, we race what we sell,” Pirelli has managed to bring to fruition all the experience acquired in this Championship, applying some of the patents and materials developed for racing activity to normal production products for road use.
The DIABLO ROSSO™ III project is the latest result of Pirelli's long experience in the FIM Superbike World Championship: the design technology on which this new product is based, and the materials of the structure and compound mixing process are the same as used for WorldSBK.
