FAST ROLLING ON HARD SURFACES
A low-profile block pattern with a small block spacing for fast and confident driving on any hard surface, dry or wet, and with SmartGRIP rubber compound properties. The best choice for trails where maintaining maximum speed remains an essential element. In addition, the tyre features a high level of reliability and long life.
Features:
- SmartGRIP rubber compound - 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 construction - protective sidewall reinforcement for improved puncture resistance.
- Tubeless-Ready - tubeless application with easy installation and durable feet.
Pirelli Scorpion Trail is a complete model line of tires designed for trail riding. The tyres use the SmartGRIP rubber compound developed by Pirelli to provide solid grip and puncture protection, both dry and wet. You can rely on the Scorpion Trail on your local trails, as well as on trips for adventure in the mountains. Their reliability and long-lasting ride performance allow you to focus fully on your riding and not worry about the equipment you're using.
Construction: 60tpi, TLR
Recommended rim width: 30C
Protection: ProWALL
Weight: 890 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 riding when complemented with the appropriate carcass (120tpi and 60tpi respectively).
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.
