Pirelli Scorpion XC M 29x2.40 "tire Just two years after the launch of the PZero Velo road tires, the long P enters the MTB market with a dedicated range Eight dedicated testers have carried out over 450 tests on different surfaces and 40 Data Recording Sessions, carrying out surveys, measurements and assemblies on more than 800 prototypes and 7 different rim sizes. The Pirelli Testing Department has carried out over 30,000 km and 95,000 m of total elevation gain, stressing the new Scorpion MTBs on all types of terrain and in different weather conditions. Tires for every use and climate All Terrain Bike: the mountain bike was born with this name in the USA. Over time, the concept of "all terrain" has shifted in favor of a clear classification of the type of bike. From XC, from Enduro, from Trail: over the years every vehicle has required more and more specific products and specialization, even in the field of tires. Today, attention and trends go back to their origins: simplification. Current bikes are increasingly capable and efficient, both uphill and downhill, making traditional classifications obsolete and shifting the focus on the rider's riding style and no longer on the vehicle he uses. Even Pirelli, in line with its Consumer Centric Approach, has focused on the way of cycling and on different terrains, not on the mechanical means. Pirelli started from here to create a line of tires that was suitable for the terrain on which you mainly use your MTB. The range had to be understandable, clear and simple: where simplicity, as often happens when the essence is reached, embodies great complexity of development and very high technology. 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 knobs, distance, Cross-link and angles they have been designed 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.
