Scorpion Blacksting is Pirelli's fast-rolling gravity tyre for hardpack and compact terrain, where rolling efficiency and precise handling make the difference. This is the 27.5 x 2.4 DHWALL+ Soft version with the team edition (yellow hotpatch).

Highlights

• Low-profile, closely packed knobs with reinforced shoulders
• DHWALL+ casing: 2-ply 60 TPI with bead-to-bead protection
• Soft compound
• Tubeless ready and e-MTB ready (Pirelli)
• Team Edition (yellow hotpatch)

Tread

Low-profile, closely packed knobs with reinforced shoulders minimise rolling resistance while keeping braking stable and predictable on firm ground. Best for rocky, fast and precise lines in dry conditions; the ride feel is fast and responsive. Run it as a complete set for high-speed trail riding, or pair it with a Scorpion Emperor in mixed set-ups.

DHWALL+ casing

DHWALL+ is Pirelli's strongest casing: a full dual-ply 60 TPI construction with a bead reinforcement insert and an extra external fabric layer that stabilises the sidewall. Developed with professional athletes for downhill and enduro racing, it gives exceptional support under heavy cornering loads at high speed.

Soft compound

Soft combines solid, consistent grip with good wear resistance and predictable handling. Built for aggressive riding.

Compatibility & fit

Pirelli's tech sheet specifies a 30C rim for all sizes in this range and marks the range tubeless ready and e-MTB ready. 29in sizes fit 622 wheels and 27.5in sizes fit 584 wheels; check frame and fork clearance, particularly for 2.6in widths. Tyre fitting and tubeless set-up are available as a separate workshop service; they are not included in the price.
