The Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tyre has always been the fast road/trackday rider’s motorcycle tyre of choice, as well as standard equipment on the tastiest super nakeds and superbikes. It’s a hard act to follow but they’ve done it, in the round, sticky shape of the new fourth-generation Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 SP.
Working with new compounds, constructions and materials have allowed Pirelli to move the Supercorsa story on to give the tyres more grip, feel and longevity. That’s despite the challenges of it having to deal with ever more powerful motorcycles, controlled by electronic rider aids that put unique stresses through the tyres.
