Pirelli announces the arrival in 2025 of two new tires that will enrich their already wide offering of motorcycle ranges: the DIABLO POWERCRUISER and the new SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT.
DIABLO POWERCRUISER represents the completely new Custom-Touring line of Pirelli high-performance tires designed specifically for selected models of sport Cruiser and Bagger machines. With 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.
DIABLO POWERCRUISER is entirely part of the DIABLO family of sports products because it fully embodies Pirelli’s sporting DNA, combining it with the free spirit of the custom world. Thanks to its sporty behavior, in terms of grip and handling, this tire allows you to make the most of the potential of the most muscular custom bikes, offering stability in acceleration, braking, and cornering, even at high speeds, and plenty of grip even on wet surfaces, all combined with supplying mileage in line with tires that belong to this segment.
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, a discipline in which the brand has won 82 world titles since 1980 thanks to the successes achieved with riders such as Stefan Everts, Antonio Cairoli, André Malherbe, Eric Geboers, Jöel Smets, David Thorpe, Jeffrey Herlings, Romain Febvre, Tim Gajser, and Jorge Prado. It has been developed thanks to Pirelli’s decades of experience in top motocross competition and is completely new compared to its predecessor. The new front tire improves braking behavior and facilitates cornering; the rear offers even more traction for the holeshot and exiting corners. Finally, the new SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT also improves versatility on medium-hard terrain.
The new SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT will make its official debut in the next Motocross World Championship, equipping the bikes of some of the greatest riders of this Championship and, like all Pirelli racing tires, will also be available for purchase by all motorcycle fans of this discipline.
Both 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.
