TECHNOLOGIES

SmartGrip Gravity compound
The SmartGRIP Gravity compound is the racing-ready option in the Scorpion MTB range, a formulation derived from decades of know-how in motocross and valuable advice from former downhill world champions. Thus was born a softer compound, tear-resistant, with greater grip in all weather conditions, excellent grip and control at high speeds with a single compound formulation. SmartGRIP Gravity is the answer to all bikers looking for a reliable tire to tackle any type of course in training and in competition thanks to the constancy of its performance over time and in all types of weather conditions.

HyperWall
A new construction that improves drivability and puncture protection at low pressures, key factors in off-road applications, especially in the most challenging and aggressive ones like Gravity and e-MTB, for which heel robustness and sidewall stability are fundamental pillars in performance. This innovation derived from Pirelli's experience in Motocross features a raised rubber reinforcement on both sidewalls combined with an additional layer of fabric connecting it to the heel, stabilizing it (+10%) and protecting it and increasing pinch resistance by 50%. Achieving a level of solidity and stability to the sidewall loads of the rubber typical of downhill tires, without the weight burden of a traditional bi-tire. All this translates into lightness, tread flexibility and therefore grip and maneuverability even at low pressures (+25%).

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