Pirelli does not only have tyres in its range for motorized athletes.
Cyclists also benefit from the Italians' years of experience. With your Scorpion mountain bike tires you don't have to hide from the competition.
The Pirelli Scorpion R is a special mountain bike rear wheel tire. It delivers top performance in wet and dry weather conditions. The profile consists of medium-length studs arranged in a medium-sized spaced pattern. The rubber compound ensures a service life that is in no way inferior to that of a front tire. It is also perfectly designed for mounting on modern wheels with large rim width.

Technologies
Protection:
The tear-resistant rubber compound in combination with a reinforced 60 TPI carcass and 120 TPI side wall reinforcement provides additional stab and cut protection.
Handling:
The shape of the tyre has been optimised for modern rims made of aluminium or carbon with a wide internal groove.
Damping:
Robust 60 tpi TUBELESS READY Nylon casing, designed to dampen shocks and vibrations and make low pressure riding more stable with a wider footprint on the ground .
Grip
Unique to PIRELLI Scorpion mountain bike tires is a continuous layer of Smart Grip Compound. The advantage is that the high performance of the studs is retained even after a long period of use. This guarantees uncompromising traction, both in dry and wet ground conditions.
Single Rubber Compound
SmartGRIP is a compound that uses cutting-edge advances in chemical technology to achieve two typically opposed features in off-roading: mechanical resistance and chemical grip. This compound is capable of achieving performance levels high enough that it can be used for the entire depth of the rubber used to create the tread. The use of a single rubber compound ensures that performance won't decrease as tread wear increases, which is usually a key defect of multilayer compounds. Pirelli selects the best rubber compound for every tread and every size, no compromise between grip and handling in wet and dry conditions.
Stucture
The structure of Scorpion™ MTB tyres is optimised on the basis of the end user's riding style and intended use. Different combinations of materials, densities, thicknesses and sizes produce tyres that offer different riding experiences, guaranteeing very high levels of handling, grip and smoothness on any type of terrain. The words Tailor Development summarise the Pirelli approach, which focuses on the development and optimisation of tyre performance for every size and version, developing ad-hoc solutions for every single tyre in the Scorpion™ MTB catalogue.
