Pirelli Scorpion MTB M Tyre

Pirelli Scorpion MTB M Tyre

Featuring an advanced SmartGRIP compound, this mountain bike (MTB) tyre was engineered using Pirelli’s experience in the motorsport industry. Its single compound is specially developed to ensure consistently high levels of grip performance in both wet and dry terrain conditions, so you can tackle whatever the trail has to throw at you. Ready for fast and intense rides, this version is also kitted out with ProWall sidewall technology for increased puncture protection, reinforcement and improved handling at lower tyre pressures. Another benefit is its additional layer of nylon fabric that’s applied over the casing sidewalls to provide extra protection and improved cornering stability wherever your next trail adventure leads you.

MTB Tyre with Mixed Terrain Tread

The tread of the Scorpion MTB Mixed Terrain is composed of knobs whose height and spacing were studied alongside the physical and mechanical properties of the rubber compound, to offer uncompromising performance in variable conditions on compact and unstable terrain. The addition of specific ribbing helps support the knobs limiting their deformation and encouraging the release of excess mud in wet conditions.

Single Rubber Compound

SmartGRIP is a compound that uses cutting-edge advances in chemical technology to achieve two typically opposed features in off-roading: mechanical resistance and chemical grip. This compound is capable of achieving performance levels high enough that it can be used for the entire depth of the rubber used to create the tread. The use of a single rubber compound ensures that performance won’t decrease as tread wear increases, which is usually a key defect of multilayer compounds. Pirelli selects the best rubber compound for every tread and every size, no compromise between grip and handling in wet and dry conditions.

Structure

The structure of Scorpion MTB tyres is optimised on the basis of the end user’s riding style and intended use. Different combinations of materials, densities, thicknesses and sizes produce tyres that offer different riding experiences, guaranteeing very high levels of handling, grip and smoothness on any type of terrain. The words Tailor Development summarise the Pirelli approach, which focuses on the development and optimisation of tyre performance for every size and version, developing ad-hoc solutions for every single tyre in the Scorpion MTB catalogue.
