Key Features of Pirelli 120/70 R17 Models
Performance Focus: These tires are generally designed with World Superbike Championship (WSBK) technology, offering rapid warm-up, high-speed stability, and sharp handling.
Compound & Grip: Many models, such as the Diablo Rosso III, use a bi-compound design. This provides high-silica content for wet weather safety and durability in the center, while the shoulders use a racing compound for maximum dry grip at high lean angles.
Tread Pattern: Known for the "flash" racing tread pattern, these tires are designed for efficient water drainage and consistent performance throughout the tire's life.
Handling & Profile: The WSBK-derived profile is designed to provide quick turn-in, linear behavior in lean transitions, and improved grip
