Technologies

SmartGRIP Compound

SmartGRIP is a compound that uses cutting-edge advances in chemical technology to achieve two typically opposed features in off-roading: mechanical resistance and chemical grip. This compound is capable of achieving performance levels high enough that it can be used for the entire depth of the rubber used to create the tread. The use of a single rubber compound ensures that performance won't decrease as tread wear increases, which is usually a key defect of multilayer compounds. Pirelli selects the best rubber compound for every tread and every size, no compromise between grip and handling in wet and dry conditions.

HyperWALL

The third innovation Pirelli brings to the cycling world from its Motorsport background: a newly designed construction of the bead and sidewall area that increases even further the tyre performances in terms of handling at low pressure and pinch flat resistance. Key in offroad applications, especially in the most demanding ones such as gravity and eMTB, the integrity of the bead area and the stability of the sidewalls are a founding pillar for the overall tyre performance: the tread with its sophisticated rubber compound highly relies on, and strictly behaves dependently to the stability and integrity of the bead and sidewall themselves. Pirelli introduced a construction that solidly anchors the bead and the rubber sidewall insert with a woven fabric flipper, making them behave as one whole solid piece instead of as separate components with relative movements to each other, with industry standard constructions. The benefit of this innovation in numbers: Improved bead stability (+10%"). More protection against pinch-flats (+50%"). Better handling at low pressure (+25%). Higher strength against sidewall cuts.
