Product description
Pirelli Scorpion XC M Folding Tyre 29x2.40" black (black)
Scorpion MTB Mixed Terrain is the mountain bike tyre for mixed terrains with sometimes firm, sometimes inhomogeneous ground conditions, as well as for all kinds of terrain in between. The height and spacing of the tread blocks are in the middle to ensure optimum performance on a wide range of terrains.
The use of the special SmartGRIP compound guarantees a strong impression and high tear resistance to guarantee good grip in all weather conditions: Your best competitor for off-road performance.
The LITE version of the Scorpion MTB Mixed Terrain is even faster and lighter, but still offers high puncture resistance. Designed for racing, this version is aimed at riders with a low body weight and a precise driving style who strive for top performance.
Protection
Tear resistant compound with 120 tpi flank reinforcement and improved puncture and cut protection without compromising smooth running performance.
Grip
The SmartGRIP Compound ensures a strong grip even on wet surfaces. The weather cannot impair grip in either dry or wet conditions.
Handling
Optimised tread pattern for state-of-the-art aluminium or carbon rims with wide inner groove.
Damping
Tubeless Ready carcass in robust 60 tpi nylon specially designed to absorb shocks and vibrations to provide a more stable ride with lower tyre pressures and wider contact patch.
SmartGRIP
SmartGRIP Compound is a rubber compound based on the latest chemical technologies and provides two typical properties that are normally contradictory in the off-road sector: mechanical strength and chemical grip. The performance level of this compound allows it to be used for the entire rubber layer that makes up the tread.
The use of a single compound ensures that there is no reduction in performance as wear increases, which is a critical problem with different compounds in multiple layers. Pirelli selects the best compound for each tread pattern and size without sacrificing grip and handling on dry and wet surfaces.
