Product Information

Full details

The Pirelli Diablo Wet Intermediate Motorcycle Tyre is designed specifically for professional track riders who require maximum traction and stability in damp or wet asphalt conditions. As the official tyre of the World Superbike Championship, it offers a race-proven compound that balances water drainage with chemical grip; however, due to its specialized rubber compound and design, it is strictly intended for racetrack use and is not suitable for daily road commuting.

FAQs

Can I use these tyres for street riding?

No. These are competition-grade tyres designed exclusively for closed-course racetrack use and do not meet the legal requirements for road-legal motorcycle tyres.

Are these tyres suitable for fully dry track days?

These are intermediate tyres. While they function in varying conditions, they will experience premature wear and suboptimal performance on a fully dry, abrasive track compared to dedicated dry-weather slicks.

What is the primary benefit of the 0° steel belt?

The 0° steel belt provides structural rigidity that minimizes tyre deformation under high stress, ensuring consistent contact with the asphalt.

How do I know the correct tyre pressure?

Always consult the manufacturer's technical track data sheet or a Pirelli race service professional for pressure settings tailored to your bike's weight and track temperature.

Does this tyre need tyre warmers?

While the compound is designed to work in cooler, wet conditions, using professional tyre warmers is generally recommended at the track to ensure the tyre reaches operating temperature immediately.

Troubleshooting

Tyre shows unexpected wear patterns

Check suspension rebound and compression settings; ensure tyre pressure is set to track-recommended specifications for wet weather.

Feeling of instability during lean

Verify that the tyre is properly seated on the rim and check for correct cold-pressure adjustments before entering the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, the Pirelli Diablo Wet must be installed by a professional technician who understands race tyre dynamics. Ensure your motorcycle's suspension settings are adjusted to compensate for the specific profile of these tyres, as improper geometry can negate the benefits of the contour design. Always verify that your rim width matches the 200/60 R17 specification for the rear tyre. For care, store tyres in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, and avoid storing them near ozone-generating equipment. After use, inspect the tread for signs of uneven wear or debris pick-up commonly found on racing circuits.
