Hypersport Tire. OE on the 2012 Ducati Panigale. The new SP Version 2 features the same tread design being used in the 2012 World Superstock 1000 championship. High modulus fiber carcass offers a lower deformation ratio and makes the entire structure stiffer to allow a better synergy between compounds and carcass. Single Element Tread Pattern permits a 24% larger slick shoulder area (vs. previous Diablo Supercorsa), increasing contact area and grip and wear regularity. New compounds offer great balance of mileage and grip in an ultra-high-performance product. Rear tire uses Pirelli's patented EPT (enhanced patch technology) matched with a tri-zone compound that helps optimze the contact patch for improved grip and handling. Tubeless (TL). (W)-rated for speeds of 168+ mph.
