Pirelli Scorpion Race DH S 29" tire

Pirelli Scorpion Race: the tyres for gravity racing, Enduro and Downhill

Three years after the launch of the Scorpion family of tyres dedicated to the MTB world, Pirelli completes the range with two gravity products designed for the most demanding Enduro (EN) and Downhill (DH) races.
Scorpion™ Race S are the models for soft terrain conditions. The tread pattern is specifically designed for loose terrains, featuring large and taller knobs to offer superior mechanical grip, which supports aggressive riding in a wide range of conditions, down to light mud. The super-soft SmartEVO DH compound is combined with large knobs to offer superb grip on slippery surfaces, without compromising the overall stability of the tyre thanks to a stiffer base compound. The DualWall+ is the downhill-specific casing and is made up of a double-ply 60tpi casing, reinforced with a cut-resistant sidewall reinforcement and a rubber bead insert. Such structure is engineered to provide superior protection against cuts and punctures and is designed to absorb small vibrations and big impacts. The DualWall enduro-specific casing is instead made up of a double-ply 120 tpi casing, reinforced with a rubber bead insert. Such structure provides both protection and support while featuring a limited weight and the superior suppleness and speed of an Enduro Race tyre.
