Technology

Hyperwall
The HyperWall is a new construction that improves rideability and puncture protection at low pressures, key factors in off-road applications, especially in the more demanding and aggressive ones such as Gravity and e-MTB, for which heel strength and stability of the hips are fundamental pillars in performance. This innovation derived from Pirelli's experience in Motocross features a rubber reinforcement of increased height on both sides combined with an additional layer of fabric that connects it to the heel, stabilizing it (+10%) and protecting it and increasing the resistance to pinching of the 50%. Stability and solidity are guaranteed without the added weight of a traditional double canvas. All this translates into lightness, flexibility of the tread and therefore grip and handling even at low pressures (+25%).

SmartGrip Compound
Decades of success in the Motocross and Rally world championships have led Pirelli engineers to develop an innovative compound: the SmartGrip Compound for Scorpion™ MTB, combining two opposite characteristics: Resistance to tearing, for maximum mechanical grip in dry conditions and at the same time maximum puncture resistance; Chemical grip on wet surfaces, so you don't have to worry about rain and muddy and slimy sections of the course; The compound used is the result of an intense research and development process which has allowed us to obtain absolute performance in both dry and wet conditions. Designs optimized for the consistency of the terrain regardless of the climatic condition, maximizing the performance of the various geometries of the blocks present in the Scorpion™ MTB range, for a truly uncompromising performance. With the Pirelli Scorpion™ MTB range that they regularly face. The choice of the single-compound solution offers consistently high grip in both dry and wet conditions, even when the blocks begin to wear out.

Tubeless Ready
Tubeless ready tires offer the biker many advantages: the possibility of using lower air pressures, which improve traction; lower rolling resistance than a tube tyre; a lower chance of getting a puncture because there is no inner tube. Tubeless ready tires must be mounted on tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check the sealant regularly and replace it if necessary, as it will dry out over time.
