Designed for rear use, special blocks provide excellent grip during traction and braking, positioning it as the perfect product for those seeking safety and resistance. A tread pattern with a medium profile and spacing provides traction and stability on a variety of different terrains, from hard to soft. Scorpion™ E-MTB R creates a perfect combo when paired with Scorpion™ E-MTB M inside.
Compound: SmartGrip Compound . Decades of success in the Motocross and Rally world championships have led Pirelli engineers to develop an innovative compound, the SmartGRIP Compound for the Scorpion MTB range, combining two opposite characteristics:
- Tear resistance, for maximum mechanical grip in dry conditions and at the same time maximum puncture resistance.
- Chemical grip on wet surfaces, so you don't have to worry about rain and muddy, slimy sections of the course.
The compound used is the result of an intense research and development process which has allowed us to obtain absolute performance in both dry and wet conditions. Designs optimized for the consistency of the terrain regardless of the climatic condition, maximizing the performance of the various geometries of the blocks present in the Scorpion MTB range, for a truly uncompromising performance. With the Pirelli Scorpion MTB range it is no longer necessary to change tires based on the weather conditions, but simply focus on the consistency of the terrain you usually face. The choice of the single-compound solution offers consistently high grip in both dry and wet conditions, even when the blocks begin to wear out.
Structure: HyperWall . A new construction that improves rideability and puncture protection at low pressures, key factors in off-road applications, especially in the more demanding and aggressive ones such as Gravity and e-MTB, for which heel strength and sidewall stability are fundamental pillars in performance. This innovation derived from Pirelli's experience in motocross features a rubber reinforcement of increased height on both sides combined with an additional layer of fabric that connects it to the heel, stabilizing it (+10%) and protecting it and increasing the resistance to pinching of the 50%. Achieving a level of solidity and stability to the loads of the tire sidewalls typical of downhill tires, without the increase in weight of a traditional double ply. All this translates into lightness, tread flexibility and therefore grip and handling even at low pressures (+25%).
