Description
Scorpion™ E-MTB M is the e-mountain bike specific tire with the most versatile characteristics for trail and enduro use: designed for everyday riding on your local trails and the races in the weekend. The performances of the Scorpion™ E-MTB M are constant over time and its behavior is easy to predict, making it a perfect all-rounder.
Tread
The tread pattern of the Scorpion™ E-MTB M is optimised to compliment the properties of the rubber compound to offer uncompromising performance in variable conditions over differing terrain. The additional "bridges" help support the knobs and improve mud shedding in wet conditions.
Compound
The SmartGRIP Gravity Compound is the racing-ready option of the Scorpion™ MTB range, it is a formulation derived from decades of motocross know-how and the precious feedbacks of former downhill World champions. The SmartGRIP Gravity is the answer for all the bikers in search of a reliable tire for any kind of single track, whether training or racing, thanks to its constant performance in different conditions and over time.
Structure
HyperWALL is a new e-MTB specific casing that enhances the handling and the puncture protection at low inflation pressure which are key features of an off-road tire dedicated to gravity and e-MTB. This new construction is directly derived from the experience of Pirelli in Motocross: it features a thick rubber insert tightly connected to the bead with a layer of fabric which increases the stability of the bead itself (+10%) and protecting the tire from pinch flats by 50%.
The result is a level of stability and solidity comparable with downhill-specific tires without their typical weight. The HyperWALL casing is then capable of handling the torque and the weight loads of modern e-bikes for an unparalleled riding experience.
