Pirelli Scorpion Enduro & eMTB tires add SmartGRIP Gravity Rubber and ProWall Casing

Pirelli’s update of its enduro and eMTB tire offering is well overdue. For too long, they have been pairing heavy casing constructions with tread patterns with a level of aggression that lags behind the aggressive enduro and super enduro bike geometries now ubiquitous at gravity-oriented riding spots all over the world. Thus, today’s arrival of their new Enduro and eMTB “M” Tread for Mixed-Terrain, with its burlier tread pattern paired with the new SmartGRIP Gravity rubber compound, is welcomed.

Updates rolling out today pertain primarily to the Scorpion Enduro and Scorpion eMTB range of tires. Theremains entirely unchanged, as does the Scorpion Trail range, save for the addition of a 2.6″ width option for the Mixed-Terrain and Hard Pack tread patterns, sure to be welcomed by those who have the clearance for it, and the appetite for the lower pressures that a higher volume tire can allow for.The new Scorpion Enduro M tire is available in 29″ x 2.4″, 29″ x 2.6″ and 27.5″ x 2.

The M tread retains a transitional knob between the center tread and side knobs, in a bid to keep grip consistent as the bike is leaned onto its edge through a corner. At the edge, the side knobs are staggered a little, each featuring a full length sipe oriented in the direction of travel, thus offering some lateral flex.A new, softer rubber compound of course. It is called SmartGRIP, and it replaces the original SmartGRIP seen across previous iterations of the Scorpion range.

The final notable update for the Pirelli Scorpion Enduro tires is the addition of an intermediate casing construction called ProWALL. In terms of weight and hardiness, this sits between Pirelli’s LITE Casing seen only on the XC and Trail tires, and the HardWALL casing seen the Enduro Tires only. Claimed weight for the 29″ x 2.4″ ProWALL is 950g, a good 150g lighter than the comparable HardWALL option.
