TECHNOLOGIES

SmartGrip Gravity compound
The SmartGRIP Gravity compound is the racing-ready option of the Scorpion MTB gamma, a formulation derived from decades of know-how in motocross and from the valuable advice of former downhill world champions. This is how a softer compound was nata, tear-resistant, with more grip in all weather conditions, excellent traction and control at alte speeds with a single-compound formulation. SmartGRIP Gravity is the answer for all bikers looking for a reliable tire to tackle any type of route both in training and racing thanks to the consistency of its performance over tempo and in all types of weather conditions.

HyperWall
A new construction that improves handling and puncture protection at low pressures, key factors in off-road applications, especially the most demanding and aggressive ones such as Gravity and e-MTB, for which bead robustness and sidewall stability are fundamental pillars in performance. This innovation derived from pirelli’s experience in Motocross features a higher rubber reinforcement on both sidewalls combined with an additional fabric layer that connects it to the bead, stabilizing it (+10%) and protecting it and increasing pinch resistance by 50%. Achieving a level of solidity and stability under sidewall loads typical of downhill tires, without the weight penalty of a traditional bi-tela. All this (tutto questo) translates into lightness, tread flexibility and therefore grip and handling even at low pressures (+25%).

Tubeless Ready
Tubeless ready tires offer the biker many advantages: the possibility of using lower air pressures, which improve traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tire with an inner tube; a lower chance of puncturing because there is no inner tube. Tubeless ready tires must be mounted on rims compatible with tubeless and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the additional advantage of sealing small punctures. Make sure to regularly check the sealant and replace it if necessary, because over tempo it dries out.
