SmartGrip Gravity compound
The SmartGRIP Gravity compound is the racing-ready option in the Scorpion MTB range, a formulation derived from decades of know-how in motocross and the valuable advice of former downhill world champions. The result is a softer, tear-resistant compound with greater grip in all weather conditions, excellent grip and control at high speeds with a single-compound formulation. SmartGRIP Gravity is the answer to all bikers who are looking for a reliable tyre for tackling all types of trails in training and racing thanks to its consistent performance over time and in all types of weather conditions.

HyperWall
A new construction that improves rideability and puncture protection at low pressures, key factors in off-road applications, especially in the most demanding and aggressive ones such as Gravity and e-MTB, for which bead strength and sidewall stability are fundamental pillars of performance. This innovation derived from Pirelli's Motocross experience features a rubber reinforcement of increased height on both sidewalls combined with an additional layer of fabric that connects it to the heel, stabilising it (+10%) and protecting it while increasing resistance to pinching by 50%. Achieving a level of solidity and stability to rubber sidewall loads typical of downhill tyres, without the added weight of a traditional bi-frame. All this translates into lightness, tread flexibility, and therefore grip and handling even at low pressures (+25%).

Tubeless Ready
Tubeless ready tyres offer the biker many advantages: the possibility of using lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tyre with an inner tube; and less chance of a puncture because there is no inner tube. Tubeless ready tyres must be fitted on tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added advantage of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check the sealant regularly and replace it if necessary, as it dries out over time.
