With a sporting story of over 110 years, the long P exploits and makes available to cycling the enormous wealth of knowledge, license, tests, innovations, technologies, developed since in 1872 it was founded to date.
Today, the long P presents Scorpion MTB the range dedicated to mountain bikes, which shifts attention from the bike to the ground, offering tires suitable for any type of background and ensuring road holding, handling, speed and grip, regardless of the climate and the atmospheric conditions like all Pirelli Velo bike tires, the new range of MTB tires was also developed in the center of the Pirelli innovation, the R&D laboratories of Milan Bicocca: the main among the 11 Pirelli research centers in the world which, with Over 1000 dedicated researchers allocates about 200 million euros every year for the development and innovation of its tires.
Each measure has its dedicated development
The great experience gained by Pirelli in years of presence in the motocross was made to use, in particular, in the definition of the tread drawings of the MTB scorpion range shape and height of the pieces, distance, cross-link and corners have been designed for maximum efficiency imprint on the specific funds on which it pedals. In drawing the new tires based on the consistency of the land, the engineers of the long P also had to take into account many other variables: from the rider's driving style to the most recent developments in terms of profiles and measures of the circles. For this, in the new Scorpion MTB, construction technology is not the same for all rubber measures: each size benefits from a dedicated development. The combination and interaction of structures, reinforcements, static and dynamic properties of the compound, measures and different designs for the various land, was a technical area of innovation for Pirelli, in terms of product development approach. As from DNA Pirelli, which develops all its products by putting the specific needs of the consumer at the center, the Scorpion MTB range allows the rider to freely choose the measure that most suits your driving style, without fear of compromises on performance.
Characteristics
- Le Scorpion S (Soft Terrain - Azzurro) give their best on the transferred and soft funds.
- Tenuta: compound Smartgrip compound for an uncompromising grip, on dry and wet surfaces.
- Handling: a model designed to be compatible with modern wide profile rims.
- Damping: 120 TPI Tubeless Ready Carcass for greater stability and adherence with a modern driving style at low pressure.
- Protection: an anti -prickly compound with an additional reinforcement (120 TPI) on the pneumatic shoulders for superior protection from drilled and cuts.
Technology
Smartgrip compound
Smartgrip compound is a compound that uses the most advanced chemical technologies to obtain two typically antithetical characteristics in the offroad world: mechanical resistance and chemical grip. This formulation allows you to reach such a level of performance that it can be used in all the rubber layer that composes the tread. The use of a monomescla guarantees that the performance is not caline as the tread wear grows, criticality instead typical of multilayer mixes. Pirelli chooses the best compound for each tread and every size, no compromise between grip and handling on dry and wet.
Prowall
Squest reinforcement technology, for better protection against drilling and driving at low pressure. An agiunative layer of nylon fabric applied on the sides of the carcass for extra protection and greater cornering stability.
