Name: Pirelli Diablo Rosso II 180/55 ZR17 73W
Brand: Pirelli

Pirelli Diablo Rosso II 180/55 ZR17 73W delivers track-inspired performance for sport and street riders who demand grip and stability.

Part of the Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 series, this rear tyre is a semi-slick designed to provide outstanding traction on dry tarmac while remaining controllable in spirited road use. The 180 mm width and 55% cross section combine to create a generous contact patch that improves cornering confidence.

The tyre fits 17-inch rims (ZR17) and is tubeless (TL) for easier mounting and safer puncture behaviour. With a load index of 73 and a W speed rating (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), it is engineered for bikes that demand high-speed stability and reliable load capacity.

The Diablo Rosso II incorporates Pirelli’s compounds and profile engineering to balance grip, steering precision, and wear life. Riders will notice crisp turn-in, predictable feedback, and durable performance across aggressive street riding and occasional track sessions.

Recommended for use as a rear tyre on sportbikes and performance-oriented motorcycles, it excels in fast cornering, hard acceleration, and responsive handling. Installation is straightforward on 17-inch wheels, and the tubeless design simplifies maintenance.

Typical use cases include spirited weekend rides, track days where a near-slick rear is desired without full race tyres, and upgrading stock rubber for improved handling on winding roads. The tyre’s combination of width, profile, and compound makes it especially suitable for riders seeking enhanced rear-end grip.

Key selling points: 180/55 profile for a wide contact patch, semi-slick Diablo Rosso 2 construction for high grip, tubeless 17" fitment, load index 73 and W speed rating for high-speed stability.
