Pirelli Scorpion Race Enduro M Folding Tire - 29x2.50" - yellow Label

Allround Racing Performance

The Pirelli Scorpion Race Enduro M and Scorpion Race DH M are the most versatile models: the central section is designed for precise and predictable traction when braking and accelerating. The lateral knobs are designed for maximum support and easier perception of the limit. The supersoft SmartEVO DH compound is combined with large knobs to optimize the grip on all types of terrain without compromising the overall stability of the tire thanks to a stiffer base compound.

Technologies of the Pirelli Scorpion Race Enduro Folding Tire

SmartEVO DH Compound

The SmartEVO DH was developed in the Motorsport compounding department and is designed and tuned differently than our other MTB compounds, with racing application in mind. While the SmartGRIP rubbers are tuned with a balanced level of properties for all-round use and for every kind of rider, the SmartEVO DH is meant to deliver the highest performance on race day. It is conceived to provide superb grip and confidence in toughest and most demanding race conditions where the rubber is put under extreme mechanical loads. Both the static and the dynamic parameters have been adjusted for an increased safety and control feeling while braking and leaning; the perception of the limit and the ability to engage with a controlled slip is as important as the absolute grip, we call this “predictability”.

The key element of the SmartEVO DH is the combination of two layers of rubber compounds: on the outside there is a super soft high-performing compound (42 Shore A*) while on the inside, underneath the tread, there is a dampening compound which provides support and shock absorption. The two compounds work seamlessly together giving the rider a handling feeling of reactivity and precision at extreme lateral loads, typical of the downhill racing riding. The outer layer of rubber has been tuned keeping in mind that rolling resistance is still a key factor when competing against the clock. As in Motorsport, temperature is another key parameter affecting the performance of the rubber: SmartEVO DH is developed to stay consistent in its behaviour across a wide range of temperatures, from about freezing to proper summer ones.

DualWall Casing

The DualWall enduro-specific casing is 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 tire.

Scope of delivery: 1x Folding tire

Note: Tubeless Ready tires require tubeless compatible rims/wheels, tubeless valves, tubeless rim tape and sealing fluid for tubeless mounting. Sealant fluid is not required for tubeless UST tires, but is recommended for increased puncture protection. Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
