Pirelli Scorpion E-MTB S Folding Tyre 29x2.60" HyperWall TLR black

The Scorpion E-MTB series sets new standards in durability, puncture protection and battery savings. The Scorpion E-MTB is available in three variants. Three tread patterns: M and R for the best dirt terrain and S for loose and muddy enduro tracks and steep terrain. A complete range for all eventualities. The innovative and patent-pending HyperWALL construction, copied from Pirelli's own motorcross tyre, is perfectly adapted to the needs of an E-MTB. The Scorpion E MTB is characterised by its very good ride quality and reliability, especially at low tyre pressure. The newly developed SmartGrip+ compound in combination with the "Lignin" material (extracted naturally from the paper industry process), tolerates higher loads and torques and thus enables: better performance, longer life and more riding fun on your E MTB.

The R-model is a specific design for the rear tyre: extra traction that improves pedalling and braking, while increasing abrasion resistance, consistent performance without compromising rolling speed. Ideally suited for versatile terrain, whether in wet or dry conditions. All this with new standards in rubber abrasion resistance and carcass stability, thanks to the new HyperWALL construction. For a balanced riding experience, it is best combined with the Scorpion E-MTB M model as front tyre.

Tread
The tread of the Scorpion E-MTB R is designed for use on the same terrain as the Scorpion E-MTB M, with an average height and spacing of the lugs and a wide range of use. The specific design of the centre lugs, derived from Pirelli's experience in the world of motocross, increases grip and stability during both braking and pedalling, giving the Scorpion E-MTB R a unique level of dynamism and reliability and providing excellent smoothness on mixed terrain.

SmartGRIP+
The new SmartGRIP+ compound is an evolution of the material used by Pirelli for its Scorpion MTB. It is produced in Pirelli's racing factories, where the compounds of the famous F1 tyres are also developed. The innovative feature of this new formula is the addition of lignin to the base compound. This chemical substance has a natural origin, coming from the waste paper recovery process. It is an additive with a low environmental impact that improves the performance of the rubber, especially in terms of the speed and torque characteristics of modern E-MTBs. Furthermore, this performance enhancement does not compromise any of the other typical properties, such as chemical grip, of the original SmartGRIP compound.
The result is a version of SmartGRIP that offers superior performance and grip on wet or dry surfaces. All this combined with Pirelli's recognised excellence in tyre manufacturing. The cyclist benefits from the excellent performance of the new Scorpion E-MTB tyres, even at higher speeds and torques, which is typical of e-Offroad riding. This blend of characteristics has been developed by Pirelli to offer advantages in terms of smoothness and grip on uneven terrain with overall improved handling. Riding an e-MTB has never been so much fun.

HyperWALL
A newly designed, patented construction that further enhances handling and reduces the risk of punctures. The key for off-road use. Especially for the most demanding applications like Gravity and eMTB, the integrity of the bead area and the stability of the sidewalls is a cornerstone for tyre performance.
