PIRELLI SCORPION™ MTB
UNCONDITIONAL PERFORMANCE
The Pirelli Scorpion™ MTB range was born from Pirelli's experience and know how in the world of off-road competitions. Rally and motocross are an integral part of our DNA and were the starting point for the research and development that culminated with the Scorpion™ MTB. The shape of the knobs was based on the experience and technology behind the Scorpion™ MX range, which has been used on every motocross and supercross race circuit in the world, winning more than 65 world titles.
The rubber compound used for the Scorpion™ MTB range is the product of intense research and development that succeeded in attaining absolute performance in both dry and wet conditions. Use of the exclusive SmartGRIP compound allowed the Pirelli specialists to optimise the design on the basis of the consistency of the terrain regardless of weather conditions, maximising the performance of the various knob shapes used for the Scorpion™ MTB range, for truly uncompromising performance.
Choosing the tread that best suits the terrain on which the mountain bike will be used allows one to enjoy absolute performance, in both wet and dry conditions.
With the Pirelli Scorpion™ MTB range changing tyres on the basis of weather conditions is no longer necessary, one need only focus on the typical consistency of the terrain.
TECHNOLOGY
150 years of continuous research and the experience gained from more than 460 motorsport championships are the foundations of our products: crafted for the best athletes in the world and now available for your own performance.
A newly designed patented construction that increases even further handling and pinch flat resistance.
Key in off-road applications, especially in the most demanding ones such as gravity and eMTB, the integrity of the bead area and the stability of the sidewalls are a founding pillar for the overall tyre performance
Decades of Motorsport success brought our engineers to the development of an innovative rubber: the SmartGRIP Compound, putting together two opposite characteristics:
- tear resistance for the best mechanical grip on dry surfaces, together with maximum puncture protection
- chemical grip on wet surfaces so that you don't have to worry about rain and the muddy or slippery section of the trail
