Pirelli Scorpion XC R 29x2.20 "tire With a sporting history of over 110 years, the long P exploits and makes available to cycling the enormous wealth of knowledge, patents, tests, innovations, technologies: Scorpion MTB Today, the long P presents Scorpion MTB the range dedicated to Mountain Bikes, which shifts the focus from the bike to the ground, offering tires suitable for any type of surface and guaranteeing road holding, handling, speed and grip, regardless of climate and weather conditions Like all bicycle tires by Pirelli Velo, the new range of MTB tires was also developed in the Pirelli innovation center, the Milan Bicocca R&D laboratories: the main among the 11 Pirelli research centers in the world which, with over 1000 dedicated researchers every year around 200 million euros for the development and innovation of its tires. Each size has its own dedicated development The great experience acquired by Pirelli in years of presence in Motocross has been put to good use, in particular, in defining the tread patterns of the Scorpion MTB range, shape and height of the blocks, distance, Cross-link and angles have been studied for maximum footprint efficiency on the specific surfaces on which you ride. In designing the new tires based on the consistency of the terrain, the engineers of the long P also had to take into account many other variables: from the rider's riding style to the latest developments in terms of rim profiles and sizes. For this reason, in the new Scorpion MTB the construction technology is not the same for all rubber sizes: each size benefits from a dedicated development. The combination and interaction of structures, reinforcements, static and dynamic properties of the compound, sizes and different designs for the various terrains, was for Pirelli a technical area of innovation, in terms of approach to product development. As per DNA Pirelli, which develops all its products with the specific needs of the consumer at the center, the Scorpion MTB range allows the rider to freely choose the size that best suits their riding style, without fear of compromising on performance.
