Pirelli Tyre Range Information:

#1 Post by D-Rider » Sat May 28, 2011 9:59 am

I have sometimes struggled to understand how Pirelli's tyre range extends over the various applications, but the latest info on their website makes this much clearer.

This summarises the most important information for the most generally applicable tyres for our 1 litre Rotax Aprilias:
  • * Diablo Rosso II
    * Diablo Rosso Corsa
    * Angel ST
Range/Use:

Rosso II:

    Diablo Rosso II has increased the regularity of wear, thanks to the improvements on the tread pattern design that in combination with a specific silica compound offersboth an excellent grip on wet and extended mileage.

    The second, softer compound, derived from the experience of Diablo Rosso Corsa and localised along the naked shoulder of tread design, offers a superior grip while cornering at full lean angle

    Road Grip
    Thanks to the latest generation Supersport compound, DIABLO ROSSO™ Corsa delivers grip in a wide range of temperatures and applications under typical street-riding conditions.

    Racetrack Grip
    Thanks to the WSBK driven compound on the shoulders, grip is also guaranteed in severe track-riding conditions at high lean angles for impressive power transmission to the ground.

    Street Handling
    The adoption of Ideal Contour Shaping (ICS) technology guarantees a quick and reactive ride, a reassuring contact feeling and precision cornering.

    Racetrack Handling
    DIABLO ROSSO™ Corsa ensures high capability to bear all stresses with maximum confidence even in quick direction change.

    Economy on road
    New reinforcement chemicals and a new a curing system allow DIABLO ROSSO™ Corsa to preserve performance characteristics (drainage, stability and grip) throughout lifetime.

    On Track Consistency
    By adopting Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT), DIABLO ROSSO™ Corsa ensures quick warm-up and a consistent hi-performance level lap after lap together with excellent performance recovery after stop&go.

    Wet behavior
    Thanks to Functional Groove Design (FGD), DIABLO ROSSO™ Corsa provides best-in-class wet performance for “peace of mind“ riding in critical conditions.

    CELESTIAL COMFORT
    New chemically enhanced carcass materials specifically designed to ensure high dampening properties for variability of road surfaces.

    ETERNAL DURABILITY and ECONOMICAL VALUE
    New production system resulting in controlled resistance compounds ensuring regular wear even under heavy stress.

    RELIABILITY and SAFETY
    High Silica compound for maximum safety feeling in all weather conditions: a hand on the shoulder of the rider and his passenger.

    DEMONIC GRIP
    The most balanced street usage compound to maximize contact at any an angle on public roads.

    HIGH SPEED STABILITY
    Quick handling response from application of "zero degree" steel belt: riding confidence at high speed.
