New Pirelli Angle ST Sports Touring Tyre

Pirelli have update their new product lineup for 2009. The Pirelli Diablo Strada which has never been here are to be replace with their new wicked Pirelli Angle ST. The Angle ST has unique different tread pattern that in the shape of an Angel tread and the Devil himself.


Product Manager for Pirelli, Federico Bodini told : “This is a tread pattern that is not only functional but it also has a design that communicates our new concept. We have the shape of angels and demons as the tread pattern as it translates to how the consumer wants to use their motorcycle.”



The new motorcycle tyre - Angel ST will be a single compound tyre, with more of a focus on the same EPT, or Enhanced Patch Technology, thesis that the Diablo Rosso sport tyre was centralized around last year.

Using a complex method of testing the pressure through the tyre, Pirelli has developed the Angel ST to have a much bigger contact patch for improved grip levels.


Don't worry. This not the pattern on the tyre will be.

Here how the tyre tread looks like :

The Angel and the Demon can be seen on the thread and as Pirelli said, it translates to how the consumer wants to use their motorcycle. It best to be said as a The Double Soul, as the people who chooses to buy a Sportstourer, who at the right times, does not want to sacrifice the thrills of the curve and the emotion of acceleration. Angel ST will fits best on a 1400GTR, ST1300, FJR1300 and ZRX1200. Should be best on Hayabusa and ZX14 too. To sum it up, it'll be a close rival to Bridgestone BT-021 and Michelin Pilot Road 2.




The Angel motive clearer seen when the tyre are new.


After 1000km of running in Demon mode, the tread then reflects your riding characteristics.
It's sings, kill the angel and live the demon. Huh. Is this right?

Hopefully MotoMillia as the new Pirelli Moto Tyres distributors will have them in their rack.
