Product description
Pirelli Scorpion XC R Folding Tyre 29x2.20" black (black)
Scorpion MTB Rear Specific is the mountain bike tyre designed for maximum traction and durability of the rear tyre in a variety of riding situations. The tread is designed for the same terrain types as Scorpion MTB Mixed Terrain, with blocks whose average height and spacing on mixed surfaces in dry and wet conditions offer a wide range of use, traction and cornering, and braking at lean angles. 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.
Tread
The Scorpion XC R tread pattern was developed for use on the same wide range of terrains as the Scorpion XC M. The specific design of the central tread, derived from Pirelli's experience in the world of Motocross, increases grip and stability both when braking and accelerating and gives the Scorpion XC R unique levels of confidence and reliability on mixed terrain.
Protection
Tear resistant compound with 120 tpi flank reinforcement and improved puncture and cut protection without compromising smooth running performance.
Damping
Tubeless Ready 120 tpi carcass, specially designed to absorb shocks and 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.
ProWALL
ProWALL sidewall reinforcement technology increases puncture protection and improves handling at low pressures. An additional layer of Nylon fabric is applied over the casing sidewalls for extra protection and improved cornering stability.
