Diabolically clever rubber
The Diablo Rosso Corsa II is Pirelli’s first
multi-compound motorcycle tyre.
The technology involved was developed within
the World Superbike Championship and uses a bi-
compound solution for the front tyre, with two
compounds in three different zones, while the rear
uses a triple compound distributed in five zones.
Atop all that there’s a new tread pattern design, the
whole lot designed to transfer race track performance
into street versatility. Read our review on page 22.

Happy feet, happy rider
The X-Five is a quality TCX waterproof boot but
at an affordable price with performance and
features you might expect at a higher price point.
Made from a full-grain leather upper, with a
waterproof lining and anti-impact protection,
the boot gets a shift pad, shin plate and
reinforced heel, a replaceable footbed and
a touring sole with a specific grip area plus,
of course, the TCX Comfort Fit system:
you may never want to take them off.
