Ducati Monster 1200 2017 model

In a deal that only further strengthens ties between the two companies, Pirelli have announced that their latest Diablo Rosso III hypersport tyres have been selected by Ducati for fitment to their new Monster 1200 and 1200 S models.

The powerful Italian naked machine will come with a 120/70 ZR17 front and 190/55 ZR17 rear, fitted with a ‘D’ spec Rosso III from Pirelli which has been modified to suit the bike.

Pirelli’s most advanced hypersport tyre is born from their experience in the World Superbike arena, bringing the highest levels of performance to the road.
