Pirelli Scorpion R E-MTB Tire
Pirelli Scorpion R E-MTB Tire Item # 843365
Description
Rear wheel-specific tire with a special tread pattern engineered for traction and braking grip - the perfect rear tire for trail. Medium profile tread pattern for quick and confident riding over a variety of terrains. The Scorpion™ E-MTB R with HyperWALL and SmartGRIP+ technologies is the best choice for trail riding where terrain can vary but speed is still the key factor. It is the perfect rear tire when paired with a Scorpion E-MTB M up front.
Tread
The Scorpion™ E-MTB R tread pattern was developed for use on the same wide range of terrains as the Scorpion™ E-MTB M. The specific design of the central tread, derived from Pirelli's experience in the world of Motocross, increases grip and stability both when braking and accelerating and gives the Scorpion™ E-MTB R unique levels of confidence and reliability on mixed terrain.
Compound
Pirelli added Lignin to the E-MTB specific compound called SmartGRIP+. Lignin is a naturally sourced chemical component that enhances performance in light of the unique speed and torque features associated with electric motors of modern E-MTB bikes. The rider benefits from enhanced tire performance, even under the higher speed and torque of E-MTB riding.
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.
