Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike won the comparative test draft by the German magazine PS, which has compared racing slick tyres of six different manufacturers, by testing them on track at the Sachsenring circuit. Apart from Pirelli’s DIABLO™ Superbike, some of the testing choices of the magazine editors were Bridgestone Battlax Racing V02, Michelin Power Slick Ultimate, Dunlop KR 106 / KR 108, Metzeler Racetec™ RR Slick and Continental Track, all fitted on a BMW S 1000 RR model with 120/70 R17 front and 200/65 R17 rear. The comparative can be read in PS 07/2016 issue, which is currently at newsstands, and it was conducted considering several criteria in order to make a judgment as complete as possible. This test involved Christian Kellner, a former FIM Supersport World Championship rider, and it saw an assigned rating to each tyre set for handling, steering precision, stability, grip, behaviour to the limit, braking stability, feedback transmitted from the tyre to the rider and also the best lap time on track.

Specifically DIABLO™ Superbike was tested using the SC2 compound (hard) for the rear tyre and the SC1 compound (soft) for the front one.motorcycle boots with spurs In particular, Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike were the best tyres overall regarding the grip offered and the guidance to the limit, as well as the ones to have achieved the fastest lap of 1’32.46 with about 2.5 tenths advantage over their next rival, Bridgestone and Michelin, plus more than half a second on all others, and almost two seconds advantage over Continental Track.honda motorcycle dealers in brunswick ga Here below the final ranking that takes into account all the above parameters:motorcycle dealers peterborough ontario

Sharing the spotlight with the KR449 rear is the KR448 front tire. Dunlop’s multi-compound front utilizes radial construction and features two nylon carcass plies and two aramid cut-breaker carcass belts. A thin, high-modulus carcass compound is layered under these belts to minimize and distribute the forces transmitted from the aramid belts to the carcass plies under hard braking. The KR448 front tire also combines Dunlop’s N-Tec steel bead and unique bead apex design to further stabilize handling at full lean. Construction: Dunlop’s N-TEC construction first appeared on early rear-tire prototypes late in the 2003 AMA pro season. Improvements continued throughout 2005 and 2006, and by the beginning of 2007 Dunlop was providing N-TEC tires to all of its supported factory and satellite teams, as well as privateer riders. Success was pervasive and Dunlop dominated the podiums and collected all four titles that year. 2008 was another stellar season, and the company’s record of achievement played a significant role in the selection of Dunlop as the sole tire supplier for AMA Pro Racing in 2009 and beyond.

The development of the first N-TEC—a rear design—was one of the most complex motorcycle projects ever undertaken by Dunlop. Producing a continuously wound, multi-compound tire that delivered consistently fast laps was a major undertaking. Radial construction provided excellent straight-line stability and eliminated circumferential tire growth, which allowed the tire to run cooler. The challenge was to engineer sidewall stiffness to produce consistent feedback or “feeling” for the rider as the bike transitioned from upright to full lean and back again. Numerous carcass materials were evaluated both for riding feel and for their resistance to heat and stress. The engineers settled on a nylon carcass overlaid with two nylon breaker belts and a continuously wound JLB, aramid-fiber tread belt.  IN 2011 Dunlop started development on the KR448 and KR449 USA made N-Tec Slicks and won the WERA Endurance Championship (Promptly winning every race of the series, except 1 due to a motor issue).
