Pirelli Diablo Rosso 4 on a Gen5 ZX10R
When I bought my Super-Green-Speed-Machine it came with mismatching tyres, you can read about that here...
In July 2024 I finally got around to putting matching rubber on, and by 'I got around to it' .. what I actually mean is I got Matt the fitter to do it. And what an excellent job he did, look at his happy little face, so elated to be working on a Kawasaki...
Originally I had planned to put some Bridgestone Battlax S23 sports tyres onto the bike but I have 2 reasons why I didnt.
1) The bike has Pirelli stickers on it... which wouldn't force me into having Pirellis but it certainly is something to consider.
2. Pirelli offered me free tyres to test.
Yeah I put that in big writing, I've nothing to hide! (except my genius)
Does that mean I'm not allowed to say anything bad about them? Heck no, if they're bad I'd say so.
In fact, want me to say some bad things about Pirelli products? I'll do it!! I'm not scared.
Pirelli Angel GT2 has unattractive tread pattern.
Pirelli MX tyres are not great value compared to rival products.
And if I can venture into the sister company Metzeler, the Karoo 3 is scary to ride on the roads with. (now replaced by the much better Metzeler Karoo 4)
So there ya go, I'll tell you straight.
And now the main event... the Diablo Rosso 4 review.
OUTSTANDINGLY GOOD!
