MAXIMUM REAR-WHEEL PERFORMANCE ON MIXED SURFACES
The R model has a specific design for the rear wheel: added traction for better power transfer from pedaling and increased braking efficiency, as well as greater durability for a fast and confident ride on a variety of surfaces, both dry and wet, and with SmartGRIP rubber compound properties. In addition, the tyre features a high level of reliability and long service life. Excellent combination with the M model on the front wheel.
Features:
- SmartGRIP rubber compound (model R) - excellent dry and wet grip for the life of the tire with increased puncture resistance.
- Braid - 60tpi multi-layer nylon braid for greater reliability and improved handling.
- HardWALL - Tire construction with a protective layer from bead to bead and a rubber liner for an aggressive riding style. The HardWALL is specifically designed for enduro use where it offers good support and greater resistance to cuts and punctures. This design is intended for technical and demanding trails.
- TUBELESS READY - tubeless use with easy assembly and durable feet.
Presenting the first results of Pirelli's work carried out under the supervision of DH legend Fabien Barel and in collaboration with downhill and enduro racing teams. The Scorpion™ Enduro is a range of 3 different tread patterns for different terrain conditions, from M (mixed surface), to R (versatile rear tyre), to S (soft and loose surface), developed to offer a complete range of performance enduro tyres for everyday use on the trails. Scorpion™ Enduro tyres are designed to withstand rough terrain and enable a modern style of riding on faster, more powerful bikes. They provide grip and reliability even in the most demanding use: the patented SmartGRIP Gravity rubber compound provides grip in dry and wet conditions, as well as excellent puncture resistance. The tire thus has performance that lasts for the life of the tire, even after partial tread wear.

TECHNOLOGY:
HardWALL Pirelli's tire construction technology with a protective layer from bead to bead and a rubber liner for aggressive off-road riding. A tire construction designed specifically for the style of off-road riding - several reinforcements built directly into the carcass of the tire are designed to improve the overall durability of the tire, as well as to allow for greater support at lower tire pressures. With a heel-to-heel nylon protection layer integral to the braid and a thick rubber liner over the heel, the HardWALL design is destined to handle rough handling with ease and protect against punctures. The incorporation of these reinforcing elements, along with the 60tpi nylon braid, contribute to a solid and durable construction that promotes reliability and ride quality without compromising on weight or pedaling power transfer efficiency.
The HardWALL is specifically designed for enduro use where it offers good support and greater resistance to cuts and punctures. This design is intended for technical and demanding trails.
SmartGRIP
The premium rubber compound is the product of Pirelli's experience gained from off-road racing circuits for 2 and 4 wheels around the world. Pirelli engineers have developed a compound with two diametrically opposed properties:
- puncture resistance: guarantees maximum mechanical grip and grip in dry conditions and higher puncture resistance along with longer life
- Chemical wet grip: no need to think about changing conditions, whether it will rain or if there will be muddy and slippery sections on the track
The result is a longer lasting tire that not only has excellent grip and traction in opposing conditions such as dry and wet, but also maintains these handling characteristics as the pattern wears. Unlike multi-compound rubber compounds (two or three), SmartGRIP's single-compound formulation allows for balanced handling characteristics as the tire wears and over its lifetime. The greater mechanical resistance of the rubber also provides greater resistance not only to wear, but also to punctures, so more force is required to cut or puncture the tire.
