The Pirelli Scorpion Race DH M Dualwall+ Tyre represents a pinnacle of engineering for riders who prioritise versatility and high performance across diverse terrains. Expertly crafted to excel on hardpacked bike parks as well as mid-soft natural trail sections, this tyre delivers exceptional grip and stability, ensuring confidence and control in aggressive downhill and enduro racing scenarios. Its advanced tread pattern is meticulously designed to maintain traction and reliability, making it an indispensable component for competitive and demanding off-road cycling.

Incorporating Pirelli’s proprietary DualWALL+ technology, this tyre features a robust 60tpi full double-ply carcass, complemented by a rubber insert in the bead area and an additional fabric layer that reinforces sidewall stability.
