The Pirelli Scorpion MTB range was born from Pirelli’s experience and know -how in the world of offroad competitions. Rally and motocross are a substantial part of the DNA Pirelli and from LThe research and development process that led to the birth of Scorpion MTB has begun. The shape of the dowels starts from the experience and technologies of the Scorpion MX range, used on all the competition fields of motocross and supercross in the world, with more than 65 world titles conquered.

The compound used for the Scorpion MTB range is the result of an intense research and development process that has made it possible to obtain absolute performance both in dry and wet condition. LUsing the exclusive Smartgrip compound compound has allowed Pirelli technicians to develop optimized designs for the consistency of the land regardless of the climatic condition, maximizing the yield of the various geometries of the pieces present in the Scorpion MTB range, for a truly compromised performance.
The choice of the tread most suitable for the land on which you drive your mountain bike allows you to enjoy absolute performance, both in wet and dry condition.

With the Pirelli Scorpion MTB range it is no longer necessary to change tire based on weather conditions, but it is sufficient to focus on the consistency of the land that usually face each other.

The Scorpion XC range is developed to ensure the best speed performance ensuring an excellent grip for cross-country competitions. Rubber with a weight content with Lite technology will help you face competitions better with excellent smoothness skills and a great sense of safety in every type of climatic condition, both dry and wet. A tread design designed to better manage the modern cruscountry paths: from artificial technical sections to natural forest traits, from compact to inconsistent soils.

Characteristics

• Scorpion XC RC are ideal on mixed soils, where changes can also be unpredictable or sudden.
• Lite: this is the lightest soft version with even lower rolling resistance.
• The Scorpion XC RC tread was designed together with the runners of the Crostry World Cup: low and numerous central dowels for the best smoothness, lateral pieces pronounced for curve control. A tread design without compromise.
• Tubeless Ready Carcasso at 120 TPI for greater stability and adherence
• Tenuta: Smartgrip Compound is a compound developed on the experience of the Motorsport Championships, the choice of the Monomescola solution offers high adherence in both dry and constantly wet conditions, even when the pieces begin to consume themselves.

Technologies

Smartgrip compound
Smartgrip compound is a compound that uses the most advanced chemical technologies to obtain two typically antithetical characteristics in the offroad world: mechanical resistance and chemical grip. This formulation allows you to reach such a level of performance that it can be used in all the rubber layer that composes the tread. L’Use of a single -sight ensures that the performance is not caline as the tread wear grows, criticality instead typical of multilayer mixes. Pirelli chooses the best compound for each tread and every size, no compromise between grip and handling on dry and wet.
