For the performance option, incorporating fast road use with track day action, we recommend the Pirelli Diablo Rosso 4 to give outstanding performance and levels of grip.  The 190/50 ZR17 (73W) rear and 120/70 ZR17 (58W) front combination is perfect for the Hayabusa (all years).

The ultimate sport tyre for road use

• Superb grip while braking, thrust boost in extreme lean angles and brilliant traction exiting the corner
• Lightening handlebar response to rider inputs and smooth feedback while cornering
• WSBK-derived structures and contours
• Silica-enriched multi-compound for both front and rear tyres
• Best performance on road use, on both wet and dry roads

Tailored structure on application

• WSBK derived 3-strand LYOCELL&tade; wire for 190/55 ZR 17 and sizes above
• Stiffer RAYON cords for fronts and rear sizes up to 190/50 ZR 17

EFFECT
Optimized footprint geometry in all lean angles and loads, excellent dynamic response to power unit outputs, quicker handlebar response

More rubber
More space for rubber thanks to lower ply cords end-count

EFFECT

• Enhanced dumping effect on asphalt micro-roughness
• Excellent riding feeling and reduced tire noise on imperfect tarmac

Tread pattern design
Mid-lean area with reduced void/fill ratio

EFFECT
Higher footprint area and better stress distribution enhancing grip at mid-lean

Contour
New front profile with reduced curvature on shoulders

EFFECT
Wider contact patch in full lean

BENEFIT
Lightning handlebar response to rider inputs and smooth feedback while cornering, for enhanced riding control

Compounds
Cap & Base multi-compound layout

EFFECT
Quick warm-up and enhanced thermal balance

FLASH™ grooves
FLASH™ tread pattern design

EFFECT
Outstanding stability on wet tarmac, by draining more water as speeds increase and as the weather worsens

Full Silica compound
Full silica front and rear compounds for a solid chemical grip both on dry and wet tarmac

BENEFIT
Best performance on road use, on both wet and dry road
