“We’re proud to offer this Diablo Supercorsa special compound for trackday use as it’s designed to keep up with the performance and technology of today’s sportbikes,” said Oscar Solis, roadrace manager, Pirelli in a company press release. “The solution is incredibly versatile, giving riders the ability to cover both street and racetrack in a DOT-legal package. It provides riders the opportunity to competitively log laps at their local trackday and hop on the street to ride a scenic canyon route back home.”
Jake Zemke, former AMA Pro Superbike racer, adds ““I’m so excited for the new Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa compound for trackdays. I started on this project with Pirelli last year to help bring a further DOT tire to the market that is stable, safe, and with extremely high grip levels for the track. It offers amazing grip and stability in a DOT-legal package. Whether on the street or racetrack, this new Pirelli Supercorsa special compound for trackday use is the new standard for a high-performance do-it-all tire.”
