Milan, Italy – Pirelli’s Diablo Supercorsa SP has been fitted as original equipment on the new Yamaha YZF-R1 motorbike, the tire-maker announced on 3 Aug.
The Yamaha YZF-R1 uses as Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires in 120/70 ZR17 front and 190/55 ZR17 rear sizes in order to tame the 200 horsepower of its crossplane engine, according to the announcement.
The tires, said Pirelli, are at the top of the segment for grip and handling, which makes them more suitable for the bike ride.
Moreover, it added, a new generation of polymers have been used for the compounds of the tires to provide a rapid warm-up and a constant grip in all conditions.
