SKU: PU03021815 MPN: 4587600 Pirelli Diablo Powercruiser Sport Tire 240/40R18 Rear [79V]

The high-performance custom cruising tyre with the Pirelli sporty DNA

Compound: Silica compounds for both front and rear that improve performance in both wet and dry conditions. Radial rear sizes are bi-compound with a softer stripe on shoulders thanks to different plastifing resins that improve grip while cornering. Front compound is similar to the rear central one, allowing high stability and wear resistance.

Structure: The high stiffness structure that supports the profile and guarantees the sporty handling is inspired in our experience in SuperSport. Structure cords have a superior linear density and higher stiffness, to increase lateral thrust for better trajectory precision and stability when leaning. Moreover, this guaranties that the original performances are maintained throughout the entire tire life.

Tread Design: The tread pattern design derives from that of the DIABLO ROSSO™ IV that provides an optimized footprint geometry at all lean angles, excellent dynamic response, greater control and stability. Better performance at high speed with a quicker handlebar response. Superb grip while both accelerating and braking, thrust boost in extreme lean angles and brilliant traction exiting the corner.

Profiles: Inspired from Supersport with a multi-radius approach that increase the sporty feeling with a progressive and confident behavior thanks to the rounded profile and increased overall width.

Custom Touring is a highly sub-segmented world with many different typologies of motorcycles, high complexity in terms of motorcycle specifications and habits of use. In this context, it is impossible to satisfy all the different needs with one single product. POWER CRUISING is an emerging trend that takes inspiration from the racing world of baggers and develops into two main customization trends, known as PERFORMANCE BAGGER and CLUB STYLE. These kind of customizations, beyond painting and bodyworks, include high performance parts such shock absorbers, braking systems, cast alloy wheels, cast swingarm, turbo overcharging systems, raised footpegs, raised escapes, modified bags. The new DIABLO™ POWERCRUISER™ aims to fulfill the needs of those riders looking for Sporty Handling, Top Grip and traction out of corners and an excellent behavior in wet.

As a distinctive sign for PIRELLI sport products, DIABLO™ POWERCRUISER™ tread pattern is developed around the flash icon: a couple of center grooves which provide directional stability and ensure even wear. The flash shape is also accountable for water draining from the center to the outside of the contact patch. The flash tails are varied in length and are distributed aside the center design, outlining mid-lean grooves. Tails are a constitutive element of the tire behavior, providing the right flexibility, efficient water evacuation and an absolute wear uniformity. The tread pattern design of the DIABLO™ POWERCRUISER™ with slicker mid-lean areas is inspired to the DIABLO ROSSO™ IV, giving support at higher lean angles. It is characterized by a wide slick area on shoulders and mid-lean area, resulting in excellent grip and line holding while cornering.

The high-contrast lettering design of the tire sidewall is created to increase a sense of quality and prestige. This distinctive effect reflects the brand's commitment to innovation and attention to detail.

Appearing for the first time ever on the sidewall of a Pirelli tire, the Plunga shape was born around 1908 and for more than a hundred years it has witnessed our history and legacy.

Sporty level of Grip & Handling on road, also on wet. RACING DNA of the DIABLO™ family. Best in class on dry, faster than competitors. Makes your bike go faster, keep more precise cornering.
