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.

HardWALL casing

HardWALL is a reinforced 60 TPI casing with bead-to-bead protection and a hard rubber insert above the bead. It gives solid support at low pressure, resists pinch flats and is built for aggressive trail and enduro riding.

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.
