The Pirelli Diablo Superbike Rear K401 SC3 NHS 200/60R17 is a dedicated rear motorcycle tyre developed for track use and high-performance sport riding. It is intended for competitive and experienced riders seeking maximum traction, rapid heat-up and consistent behaviour during aggressive cornering. As an NHS product it is optimised for circuit environments where repeated high-speed loads and lean angles define performance demands.

The tyre uses a sculpted profile and a soft-compound carcass to maximise the contact patch on lean, delivering excellent traction under acceleration. Tread geometry and compound are tuned to provide reliable water evacuation in brief wet patches while prioritising grip and predictable breakdown at limits. Reinforced construction supports lateral stability and helps maintain precise steering response during fast direction changes. Cornering stability and controlled slip characteristics are key traits designed into the K401 to assist riders in lap consistency.

On the track this results in confident exits, strong drive out of corners and repeatable feel for throttle modulation. Riders benefit from focused feedback, improved braking stability and a tyre that sustains its performance across multiple warm-up cycles.
