The PIRELLI Diablo Rosso II has a dual compound composition with soft rubber edges for guaranteed grip (25% of the surface) and a rubber centre offering high performance on wet surfaces and a long lifespan (75% of the surface) on the rear tyre. Grip is increased via the EPT (Enhanced Patch Technology) system developed for WSBK, which optimises contact patch when cornering. The contact patch is further enhanced thanks to ICS (Integrated Contour Shaping) technology, with a special profile for improved power transfer to the ground, resulting in increased stability, high performance on wet surfaces and safety while cornering. The new FGD (Functional Groove Design) improves the tyre lifespan. In addition, the full/empty ratio has been improved by 2%, thereby increasing the tyre lifespan and improving water drainage and evacuation.

Grip, braking, comfort, etc. The tyres you choose affect numerous aspects of your machine's behaviour, whether on the road, the racetrack or off-roading. Therefore it is essential that you carefully choose the type that fits your needs best.

To help you, here are a few explanations that will help you decipher the information on motorcycle tyres:
Dimensions: tyre width in millimetres and tyre height as a percentage of this width. E.g. 190/55, for a 190 mm width and 55% height
Structure: radial (ZR or R) or diagonal (B), both tyres must be identical for this criteria.
Diameter: expressed in inches, eg. 17 or 19
Load index: the maximum load that the tyre can bear
Speed index: the maximum speed that the tyre can bear
M/C indicator: use of the tyre, M/C for motorcycles
With our without an inner tube: TL (tubeless) for tyres without an inner tube, TT (tubetype) with an inner tube

In some specific cases, other information may appear, generally associated with the trade name of the tyre. Here is an example:
A: Kawasaki
C, F or GT: BMW specification
E or B: Special carcass for heavy or loaded motorcycles
G: Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha specification
GTW: Heavy, fast and powerful Grand Touring motorcycles
H: Honda specification
K: Extremely fast motorcycles
M: Suzuki tyres fitted on new bikes
N: For Aprilia, Honda Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
RF: Reinforced tyre
WW: Tyre with white sidewalls

Other references of lesser importance are also found on the sidewall of motorcycle tyres (country
of manufacture, DOT markings, etc.)

Remember to check your tyre pressure on a regular basis. It will ensure longer durability and increased performance!
