Scorpion Blacksting is Pirelli's fast-rolling gravity tyre for hardpack and compact terrain, where rolling efficiency and precise handling make the difference. This DualWALL Soft version with the team edition (yellow hotpatch) comes in 29 x 2.4 and 27.5 x 2.4.

Highlights

  • Low-profile, closely packed knobs with reinforced shoulders
  • DualWALL casing: 2-ply 120 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.

DualWALL casing

DualWALL is a 2-ply 120 TPI casing with a rubber insert reinforcing the bead area, where pinch flats happen. It gives dual-ply stability for enduro racing and bike park abuse while keeping a good feel for the ground.

Soft compound

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