Description
The tread of the Scorpion MTB R has a small profile with a small profile distance in the centre. This profile choice ensures a low rolling resistance on straight sections. The shoulders are provided with wider studs with a larger profile distance. This way, the Pirelli Scorpion R maintains its grip on high speeds in turns.
The anti-puncture compound on the tread ensures great durability. The 120 TPI inforced sidewalls minimalise the chance of getting cuts and snake bites. Thanks to the supple carcass, the Scorpion MTB R is perfectly usable with a lower tyre pressure. That way you enjoy a high stability and a powerful grip. Just like other tyres from the Pirelli Scorpion series, the MTB R tyre can also be made tubeless. If you want to get the most out of the Scorpion R, be sure to make your tyre tubeless for even less rolling resistance!

Great per tyre
I have rides this tyre in a number of conditions from mud through to hardpacked gravel, the tyre grips well and inspires confidence in turns. Even when going over wet roots, or on steep rocky climbs there is no slipping. Tyres clear mud from the tread easily, so no mud build up on the tyre. Tyres were easy to set up for tubeless, and sealed on the first attempt and haven't lost pressure over the last 3 weeks.
