Technology
SmartGRIP Gravity Compound
The softer SmartGRIP Gravity compound is designed to provide high grip across dry and wet conditions while maintaining consistent performance as the tread wears. Pirelli describes it as its racing-oriented compound for the Scorpion MTB range.
HyperWALL™ Casing
The HyperWALL construction is specifically developed for e-MTBs. It increases stability at low pressures and improves protection against pinch flats, while providing the strength needed to handle the additional weight and motor torque of modern e-bikes.
Tubeless Ready
The tyre is Tubeless Ready, allowing it to be installed on compatible tubeless rims with appropriate rim tape, valves and sealant.
Benefits
- Excellent mixed-terrain grip: Suitable for a combination of hardpack, rocky, loose and wet trails.
- E-bike durability: HyperWALL is designed around the higher loads and torque produced by e-MTBs.
- Low-pressure stability: The reinforced casing helps maintain tyre stability when running lower pressures.
- Strong puncture protection: The casing provides additional protection against pinch flats and impacts.
- Predictable handling: Pirelli positions the M as an easy-to-predict all-round trail and enduro tyre.
- Tubeless capability: Allows lower pressures and helps reduce the risk of pinch flats when properly set up.
Best Suited For
Ideal for electric mountain bikes, trail riding, enduro, all-mountain riding and mixed-terrain singletrack.
