Pirelli Scorpion™ XC H 29x2.2 ProWALL tyre, classic colour
MAXIMUM SPEED ON HARD SURFACES
A low-profile block pattern with a small block spacing for fast and confident riding on any hard surface, dry or wet, and with SmartGRIP rubber compound properties. The best choice for marathon courses where substrate and terrain types vary, but maintaining maximum speed remains essential. In addition, the tire features a high level of reliability and long service life.
Features:
- SmartGRIP rubber compound - excellent dry and wet grip for the life of the tire with increased puncture resistance.
- Braid - 120tpi multi-layer nylon braid for light weight and great rolling performance.
- ProWaLL construction - protective sidewall reinforcement for improved puncture resistance.
- Tubeless-Ready - tubeless application with easy installation and durable feet.
The Pirelli Scorpion XC is a model range designed for everyday crosscountry riding. Whether it's a pure racing deployment where it's all about speed and a good track, or a relaxed and laid-back ride, the Scorpion XC builds on a SmartGRIP rubber compound with excellent grip and traction in dry and wet conditions and LITE (light weight, high speed) or ProWALL (increased puncture protection and high speed) construction.
Construction: 120tpi, TLR
Recommended rim width: 25C
Protection: ProWALL
Weight: 660 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.
