The Pirelli Diablo Rosso II rear motorcycle tire is designed for sport and performance-oriented riders who demand responsive handling, confident cornering, and dependable wet-weather behavior. This rear tire uses a 180/55ZR17 fitment with a (73W) speed and load designation, making it suitable for motorcycles specified for this tire size and rating. Manufactured by Pirelli, the Diablo Rosso II combines advanced tread development with a performance-focused profile for precise road control.
Its slick shoulder area maximizes grip when the motorcycle is leaned deeply, helping provide confidence during aggressive cornering and spirited riding. Pirelli Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT) optimizes the tire’s contact patch to promote improved grip and consistent traction across a broad range of lean angles. The result is a rear tire engineered to support strong acceleration, stable cornering, and predictable feedback on paved roads.
The Functional Groove Design (FGD) is developed to optimize wet-weather behavior while maintaining the performance characteristics expected from the Diablo Rosso family. Carefully positioned grooves help manage water dispersion and contribute to controlled handling in changing road conditions. Choose the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II rear tire, manufacturer part number 2068500 and vendor part number 2068500, for compatible sport motorcycles requiring a 180/55ZR17 (73W) rear tire. Always confirm the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment, approved tire specifications, and front-to-rear tire combination before installation.
