Pirelli Scorpion RC Lite Tubeless 29'' X 2.20 MTB Tire

The Scorpion™ MTB Hard Terrain is a MTB tyre designed for compact terrain and the hardest surfaces. The tread features low, densely packed lugs and increased terrain adaptability, offering a large contact area and therefore superior ride feel. The use of a special SmartGRIP compound ensures increased adaptability and at the same time resistance to tearing, offering increased grip in all weather conditions, whether dry or wet: the best ally for your off-road performance Protection - 2.2 LITE: Tear-resistant rubber compound that provides increased mechanical strength to reduce cuts while ensuring increased performance - 2.4 LITE: Tear-resistant rubber compound with 120 tpi reinforcement on the sides to provide greater puncture and cut protection without sacrificing performance Clutch: - SmartGRIP rubber compound ensures increased grip on wet surfaces; Weather is no longer an issue, no need to sacrifice grip in dry or wet conditions Controllability: - The tyre shape is optimised for modern aluminium or carbon rims with a wide inner groove Damping: - 2.2: TUBELESS READY 120 tpi carcass designed to dampen vibrations and improve low-pressure stability through a wider ground contact patch - 2.4: TUBELESS READY durable 60 tpi nylon carcass designed to absorb shock and vibration and improve low-pressure stability with a wider ground contact patch Layers; Tread: - The Scorpion™ Mtb Mixed Terrain tread is comprised of lug heights and spacing that have been studied alongside the physical and mechanical properties of the rubber compound to deliver uncompromising performance in variable conditions on compact and unstable terrain.. The addition of special ribs helps support the lugs, limiting their deformation and facilitating the release of excess dirt in wet conditions. One rubber compound: - Smartgrip is a compound that uses advanced chemical engineering to achieve two normally opposing characteristics in off-road conditions.: mechanical resistance and chemical adhesion. This compound is capable of achieving high enough performance levels that it can be used for the entire depth of rubber used to create the tread.. The use of a single rubber compound ensures that performance will not decrease as the tread wears, which is usually a key drawback of multi-layer compounds.. Pirelli selects the best rubber compound for each tread and each size, no compromise between grip and handling on wet and dry roads. Structure: - The structure of the Scorpion™ MTB tyres is optimised based on the end user's riding style and intended use.. Different combinations of materials, densities, thicknesses and sizes allow the production of tyres that offer different driving sensations, guaranteeing very high levels of control, grip and smoothness on any type of surface.. The words “custom development” sum up Pirelli’s approach, which focuses on developing and optimising the performance of the tyres for each size and version, developing specific solutions for each individual tyre in the Scorpion™ Mtb catalogue. Specifications: - The size: 29x2.2 - The weight: 660 - frame: 120 tpi
