This is the 190/50ZR17 rear in the Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV line, Pirelli code 3979700. The Rosso IV is the fourth generation of Pirelli's Diablo Rosso, their supersport tire for road use, aimed at high-displacement sportbikes as well as 600-class supersports and nakeds.
190/50-17 is a less common rear size than 190/55, and it is the stock rear on the current Hayabusa and on the 2017–2019 CBR1000RR.
This is a road tire. Pirelli builds it for aggressive street riding in the dry and the wet, not as a dedicated track tire.
Key Technology & Design
Full-silica dual compound rear
In this size Pirelli uses a dual-compound rear with silica throughout, which they say warms up quickly and grips at any lean angle, including in the wet. (Pirelli moves to a three-compound rear only from 190/55 upward.)
Stiffer rayon casing
Pirelli states the rear casing uses rayon cords with more than 30% more stiffness than the Diablo Rosso III, in rear sizes up to 190/50.
FLASH tread pattern
Pirelli's tread pattern pairs centre grooves for straight-line stability and even wear with grooves spread around it to clear water.
Superbike-derived profile
Pirelli states the tire's multi-radius profile is derived from their World Superbike work.
