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 fast and confident riding 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.
- ProWALL - sheath construction with reinforced sidewalls for greater puncture protection. ProWALL is lighter and easier to pedal. This design is for riders who like longer rides and a more relaxed riding style.
- TUBELESS READY - tubeless use with easy assembly and durable feet.
Introducing 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.
Use - dry terrain: rocks, hard ground, mixed, marginally softer on hard ground
Use - wet terrain: wet rocks, slippery hard substrate, mixed - wet roots, marginally wet soft substrate
Construction: 60tpi, TLR
Recommended rim width: 30C
Protection: ProWALL
Weight: 940 g
TECHNOLOGY:
ProWALL
Protective jacket sidewall reinforcement technology for improved puncture resistance and more stable performance when using low jacket air pressures. The added layer of nylon fabric over the sidewall braid not only increases puncture and snap resistance, but also improves the overall behavior of the tire in corners, allowing for better wheel control and more precise tracking. These features have been achieved without compromising on tire weight and pedaling power transfer efficiency, making tires with this technology perfect for use in XC racing to aggressive Trail and Enduro riding when complemented with the appropriate carcass (120tpi and 60tpi respectively).
The ProWALL is lighter and easier to pedal. This design is for riders who like longer rides and a more relaxed riding style.
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.
