Pirelli Scorpion S E-MTB Tire

Pirelli's most aggressive model dedicated to e-bikes: made for those who seek fun and performance without compromise. The tall profile and widely spaced tread pattern cuts into and grips any kind of loose or soft terrain. The Scorpion™ E-MTB is the best choice for any single-track with soft terrain where grip and reliability are key factors.

Tread

The Scorpion™ E-MTB S tread pattern is made up of deep and widely spaced knobs that bite into the terrain and provide maximum levels of grip. The height and rigidity of the tread increases grip in soft terrain guaranteeing traction and braking as well as excellent support when cornering. The specific spacing of the Scorpion™ E-MTB S tread pattern also helps the tire to get rid of mud.

Compounds

SmartGRIP+ is Pirelli E-MTB specific compound with Lingin added. 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.

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.
