The Pirelli 401 Dia Superbike SC1 Rear NHS in 200/60R17 0 is a track-focused rear tyre designed for competition use on supersport motorcycles and trackdays. It suits riders seeking maximum rear traction under high lean angles and aggressive throttle application. The tread profile and compound are tuned to deliver strong contact patch adhesion and predictable heat build-up for consistent lap times. SC1 compound characteristics prioritise mechanical grip at temperature, offering fast warm-up without sacrificing stability.

Construction features a semi-slick pattern with reinforced carcass elements to withstand racing loads while keeping mass low. The tyre benefits from targeted groove geometry that supports rapid water evacuation in mixed conditions and maintains usable grip when the track is damp. Its build enhances cornering stability and keeps deformation controlled under hard acceleration.

For the rider this means confident acceleration out of corners and a clear steering response at the limit, improving lap consistency and control. Improved wear characteristics deliver reasonable mileage for a race compound, and the NHS rating signals dedicated track use only.
