Technology

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

SmartGrip Compound
Decades of success in Motocross and Rally world championships led Pirelli engineers to develop an innovative compound: the SmartGrip Compound for Scorpion™ MTB, combining two opposing characteristics: Tear resistance, 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, slimy sections of track; The compound used is the result of an intensive research and development process that has enabled absolute performance in both dry and wet conditions. Designs optimised for terrain consistency are independent of weather conditions, maximising the performance of the various block geometries in the Scorpion™ MTB range for truly uncompromising performance. With the Pirelli Scorpion™ MTB range that you routinely tackle. The choice of the single-compound solution offers high grip in both dry and wet conditions consistently, even when the blocks begin to wear.

Tubeless Ready
Tubeless ready tyres offer the biker many advantages: the possibility of using lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tyre with an inner tube; and less chance of a puncture because there is no inner tube. Tubeless ready tyres must be fitted on tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added advantage of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check the sealant regularly and replace it if necessary, as it dries out over time.
