Pirelli SCORPION™MTB R Mountain Bike Tyre Rear Specific

The traditional tyre manufacturer Pirelli is heading for new shores and is yet again very successful in the bike sector. Yet, the Italians remain true to themselves in their choice of tyre names. Whereas the P ZERO™ models stand out for maximum road performance in the automotive sector and in road cycling, the SCORPION™ models rather prefer muddy rides off the road.

The SCORPION™ MTB tyres have been developed based on Pirelli’s many years of experience with the SCORPION™MX in motocross and specifically adapted to mountain biking. The SCORPION™MTB R is the specialist for the rear wheel. Its medium tread pattern with strong shoulder lugs and lower profile blocks in the centre promises low rolling resistance, high braking traction and excellent grip in corners and on changing terrain. Thanks to Pirelli SmartGRIP Compound, the SCORPION™MTB R even doesn’t care about whether you are riding on dry or wet ground. Therefore, it goes perfectly together with the SCORPION™MTB M all-round tyre (product code: 2287793) on the front wheel.

The centre tread including lugs is made from a single rubber compound and guarantees predictable and constant handling from the first day to the last. In addition, the robust casing of the tubeless ready tyre impresses with great damping and high puncture resistance.

The term “Lite” in the name marks a light version that is specifically designed for reduced rolling resistance and less weight.
