Copertone Pirelli Scorpion XC R ProWall Smartgrip TLR 29x2.2 Black
With extraordinary grip skills in traction and braking guaranteed by special pieces, Scorpion ™ XC R is the perfect bike rubber for everyday training. Mounted at the rear, thanks to the special pieces and a tread with medium profile and spacing, Scorpion ™ XC R guarantees traction and stability on a variety of different soils, from compact to soft. A perfect combination if associated with the front with Scorpion ™ XC M or with Scorpion ™ XC S. The compound used is the result of an intense research and development process that has made it possible to obtain absolute performance both in dry and wet condition. Drawings optimized for the consistency of the soils independent of the climatic condition, maximizing the surrender of the various geometries of the pieces present in the Scorpion ™ MTB range, for a truly compromised performance. With the Pirelli Scorpion ™ MTB range it is no longer necessary to change rubber based on weather conditions, but it is sufficient to focus on the consistency of the land that usually face each other. The choice of the Monomescla solution offers high adherence in both dry and constantly wet conditions, even when the pieces begin to consume themselves.
Characteristics
- Scorpion R (Rear Specific-Verde) offer greater traction to the rear wheel and are also dedicated to mixed funds.
- Tenuta: compound Smartgrip compound for an uncompromising grip, on dry and wet surfaces.
- Handling: a model designed to be compatible with modern wide profile rims.
- Damping: 120 TPI Tubeless Ready Carcass for greater stability and adherence with a modern driving style at low pressure.
- Protection: an anti -prickly compound with an additional reinforcement (120 TPI) on the pneumatic shoulders for superior protection from drilled and cuts.
Technologies
Pro wall
Prowall is a reinforcement technology of the side that improves protection against drilling and driving even at low pressures. The additional layer of nylon fabric on the sides of the carcass improves not only the protection from cuts and pinches but also the stability of the entire structure, allowing better handling and more precise curves, both essential to improve your offroad driving experience. All without compromising in terms of weight and smoothness, making the prowall a perfect solution both for the cross-country racing and for the aggressive trail and enduro when coupled to different structures of the carcass, respectively of 120 tpi and 60 TPI .
Smartgrip compound
Decades of successes in the World Cup Motocross and Rally led the Pirelli engineers to develop an innovative compound, the SmartGrip Compound for the Scorpion ™ MTB range, combining two opposite features: the Smartgrip Compound for Scorpion ™ MTB, joining two opposite features: Resistance to the laceration, for the maximum mechanical grip in dry conditions and at the same time the maximum resistance to drilling; Chemical grip on wet surfaces, not to have to worry about the rain and the muddy and slimy route sections. The compound used is the result of an intense research and development process that has made it possible to obtain absolute performance both in dry and wet condition.
