Pirelli Scorpion E-MTB S Hyper Wall SmartGrip Gravity 29" - black

Pirelli Scorpion E-MTB S
The Scorpion™ E-MTB series sets new standards in terms of durability, puncture protection, and battery saving. The Scorpion E-MTB is available in three variants. Three tread patterns: M and R for the best dirt terrain, and S for loose and muddy enduro tracks and steep terrain. A complete range for all eventualities. The innovative and patent-pending HyperWALL construction, which is copied from the Pirelli own motocross tires, is perfectly tailored to the needs of an E-MTB. The Scorpion E MTB is characterized by its very good ride quality and reliability, especially at low tire pressure. The newly developed SmartGrip Gravity compound in combination with the material "Lignin" (which is naturally extracted from the paper industry process), tolerates higher loads and torques, thus enabling: better performance, longer lifespan, and more riding fun on your E MTB.
High knobs with widely spaced tread blocks ensure optimal grip in yielding and muddy terrain. Thanks to the new innovative, specially developed for E MTBs, SmartGrip Gravity Compound in all weather conditions, whether dry or wet. The optimal solution for rides in rough terrain. All this with new standards in terms of rubber abrasion resistance and carcass stability, thanks to the new HyperWALL construction.
The most aggressive model for E-bikes: For all those who seek fun and performance without compromise.

TREAD
The tread of the Scorpion™ E-MTB S consists of deeper and widely spaced knobs that guarantee excellent penetration into the ground and increased chemical and mechanical grip. The depth and stiffness of the knobs promote penetration into the ground, the mechanical grip guarantees excellent responsiveness, traction and braking feel, as well as excellent support when cornering. The specific spacing of the knobs from the Scorpion™ Trail S helps the tire shed mud.

COMPOUND - SMARTGRIP GRAVITY
Pirelli developed this compound to meet the demands of modern riding styles, where higher speeds and more powerful bikes require softer self-damping and controlled feedback.
Based on the properties of lignin, a natural chemical component that results from the breakdown of waste paper and has been patented by Pirelli, it offers all the benefits of its XC-oriented counterpart, the classic SmartGRIP Compound, but combines them in a softer durometer package.
Lignin is not only a naturally occurring additive but also enhances the mechanical properties of the rubber, leading to higher stability than any other compound with the same robustness.
This improvement does not come at the expense of the other properties of the SmartGRIP compound mixtures, namely chemical adhesion: the rider benefits from consistent tire performance throughout its entire lifespan, even under the higher loads that arise, for example, in downhill riding. These properties together enabled the engineers at Pirelli to develop a rubber compound that simultaneously enhances rolling behavior, grip, and reliability. All of this makes the bike lighter, faster, and easier to control. In fewer words: more fun! 

HYPERWALL
A newly designed, patented construction that further enhances handling and reduces the risk of punctures. The key for off-road use. Especially for the most demanding applications like Gravity and E-MTB, the integrity of the bead area and the stability of the sidewalls are a cornerstone for tire performance.
