Tread

Medium-spaced knobs, evenly balanced between centre and shoulder, give an ideal compromise between rolling efficiency and grip on changing terrain, with a balanced, predictable feel from hardpack to rougher ground. Run it as a complete set for balanced performance, or pair it with a Blacksting for more rolling speed or a Red Claw up front for more bite.

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.

Supersoft compound

Supersoft gives Pirelli's highest levels of grip and damping, conforming to the terrain for traction and control in the most technical and high-speed sections. Built for racing and extreme terrain.
