Pirelli Scorpion MTB XC RC Lite TLR SmartGrip tire 29x2.2

The Pirelli Scorpion™ MTB range was born from Pirelli's experience and know-how in the world of offroad competitions. Rally and motocross are a substantial part of Pirelli's DNA and from there began the research and development process that led to the birth of Scorpion™ MTB. The shape of the blocks draws on the experience and technologies of the Scorpion™ MX range, used on all the motocross and supercross race fields in the world, with more than 65 world titles won.

The compound used for the Scorpion™ MTB range is the result of an intense research and development process which has allowed us to obtain absolute performance in both dry and wet conditions. The use of the exclusive SmartGRIP compound has allowed Pirelli technicians to develop 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 .
Choosing the most suitable tread for the terrain on which you ride your mountain bike allows you to enjoy absolute performance, both in wet and dry conditions.

With the Pirelli Scorpion™ MTB range it is no longer necessary to change tires based on the weather conditions, but simply focus on the consistency of the terrain you usually face.

The Scorpion™ XC range is developed to guarantee the best performance at speed while ensuring excellent grip for Cross-Country competitions. Low weight rubber with LITE technology will help you face competitions in the best possible way with excellent smoothness and a great sense of safety in all types of weather conditions, both dry and wet. A tread pattern designed to best manage modern crosscountry routes: from artificial technical sections to natural wooded sections, from compact to inconsistent terrain.

Technologies

SmartGRIP Compound
SmartGrip Compound is a compound that uses the most advanced chemical technologies to obtain two typically antithetical characteristics in the offroad world: mechanical resistance and chemical grip. This formulation allows to reach such a level of performance that it can be used throughout the entire layer of rubber that makes up the tread. The use of a single compound guarantees that performance does not decrease as tread wear increases, a critical issue typical of multi-layer compounds. Pirelli chooses the best compound for each tread and each size, no compromise between grip and handling on dry and wet surfaces.
