Pirelli Introduces Two New Tires
Cycle News Staff | December 17, 2024
Pirelli announced the arrival of two new tires, the Scorpion MX32 and the Diablo Powercruiser.
The Diablo Powercruiser “represents the completely new Custom-Touring line of Pirelli high-performance tires designed specifically for select models of sport cruiser and bagger machines. With the Diablo Powercruiser, Pirelli targets owners of the new cruiser and bagger V-twin bikes—characterized by searing acceleration and fun to ride—which have become more high-performing over time in terms of torque output and handling. These machines are aimed at customizers who combine aesthetic research with performance tuning and who are therefore looking for a tire capable of adding high performance and sportiness to their creations.”
The new Diablo Powercruiser boasts a slick shoulder to improve dry performance. In the central part of the tread pattern, there is the iconic Flash design typical of Pirelli sports products. The new tires will be available from March 2025 in the main sizes popular for American baggers and cruisers.
The new Scorpion MX32 Mid Soft is the successor to Pirelli’s most successful motocross tire in the FIM Motocross World Championship. The new front tire, Pirelli claims, improves braking behavior and facilitates cornering; the rear offers even more traction for starts and exiting corners. Pirelli also claims it improves versatility on medium-hard terrain.
The new Scorpion MX32 Mid Soft will make its official debut in the next Motocross World Championship.
Both the Diablo Powercruiser and the new Scorpion MX32 Mid Soft use a new technology that allows the sidewalls to have high-contrast lettering for better readability and, in the case of the new motocross tire, there is also a yellow Pirelli label to allow the product to be identified very quickly on the racetrack.
