The newly launched Diablo Rosso Corsa tires also include another notable first: it’s the first tire to measure its grip as a factor of its ability to transfer horsepower from the bike to the asphalt at various points of a racetrack.

According to Pirelli, Diablo Rosso was found to transfer 10 HP more to the ground than other tires tested with up to 40 HP in the fastest sections. “The new Pirelli tyre has been developed for motorcyclists who love sport-performance riding, both on the track and on the street, without sacrificing safety,” a company statement reads.
