Pirelli Diablo Rosso Sport 130/70-17 M/C 62S TL

The Pirelli Diablo Rosso Sport is a cross-ply road tyre built for underbones, scooters and small-displacement sports and touring machines. This 130/70-17 M/C 62S TL fitment is a tubeless size most commonly used at the rear, and is supplied as a single tyre.

It borrows its tread design and profile from Pirelli's racing family, so it holds a predictable line through lean transitions while the compound keeps working on wet and low-grip city surfaces. The trade-off Pirelli has aimed for here is everyday — grip and steering feel for spirited riding, with even wear and sensible mileage for daily commuting.

• Cross-ply (bias) construction designed for underbones and small-displacement sports and touring bikes
• Tread pattern derived from the Diablo Supercorsa design
• Racing-derived profile for linear, predictable behaviour through lean transitions
• Compound developed for wet-weather grip on low-adhesion urban surfaces
• Even wear and on-road durability suited to daily commuting
• Tubeless (TL) construction
• 130/70-17 M/C, load index 62, speed symbol S

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified motorcycle tyre technician using proper bead-breaking and mounting equipment — do not attempt hand-levering a modern tubeless tyre onto the rim.
Observe any directional rotation arrow moulded into the sidewall when fitting, and make sure the balance/alignment dot is positioned as marked.
Tubeless fitment requires a sound, clean, airtight rim and a serviceable valve; replace the valve and valve core whenever the tyre is replaced.
Ride gently for roughly the first 100 km to scrub in the new tread and release surface finish — avoid hard acceleration, heavy braking and full lean angles until the surface is fully worn in.
Check pressures when the tyre is cold, using the pressures specified by your motorcycle manufacturer for this size; pressures rise once the tyre is warm, so never bleed air from a hot tyre.
Inspect regularly for cuts, bulges, cracking, uneven wear and embedded stones, nails or glass, and have any suspect damage assessed before riding.
Monitor tread depth and replace before it falls to the 1.5 mm minimum required in Australia; also replace the tyre if it has been run flat, punctured in the sidewall or shoulder, or badly kerbed.
Do not exceed the load index (62) or speed symbol (S) marked on the sidewall, and match the tyre only to a rim width approved for the size.
Keep petrol, oils, brake fluid, solvents and tyre 'shine' dressings off the tread and sidewalls — clean only with mild soapy water and rinse well.
Store spare tyres upright in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat and electric motors or welding gear that generate ozone.
