Rear wheel-specific tyre with a special tread pattern engineered for traction and braking grip - the perfect rear tyre for trail. Medium profile tread pattern for quick and confident riding over a variety of terrains. The Scorpion™ E-MTB M with HyperWALL and SmartGRIP+ technologies is the best choice for trail riding where terrain can vary but speed is still the key factor. Compound: SmartGRIP - Decades of victories in Motocross and Rally competitions around the world led our engineers to the development of a new innovative rubber formulation: the SmartGRIP Compound for the Scorpion™ MTB which blends together opposite features: Tear resistance for the maximum mechanical grip on dry and wet surfaces together with the maximum resistance against punctures Chemical grip on wet terrain for unconditional riding in any kind of weather The SmartGRIP Compound is the result of an extensive process of research and development that led us to absolute performances in either dry and wet conditions. We chose a single compound formulation in order to achieve the most consistent performances throughout the entire lifespan of the tyre even when the knobs start to wear off 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 tyre 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 tyre from pinch flats by 50%. The result is a level of stability and solidity comparable with downhill-specific tyres 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
