At the core of this tyre’s performance is the innovative DualWALL+ technology, which integrates a 60tpi double-ply carcass with a reinforced rubber insert and an additional fabric layer. This combination stabilises the sidewalls during high-load maneuvers and fast cornering, resulting in a rigid-bead carcass that enhances rider confidence and control on technical descents. Complementing this is the SmartEVO DH Compound, a dual-layer formula engineered to balance chemical grip with mechanical support, effectively absorbing vibrations and shocks for a smooth, responsive ride across varying temperatures.

Developed with professional rider input, the SmartEVO DH Compound features a super-soft 42 Shore A outer tread for excellent traction and a supportive base compound that maintains block integrity and shock absorption. This synergy provides remarkable handling and responsiveness, enabling faster, more controlled descents. Whether you are competing at a high level or pushing your limits on challenging trails, the Scorpion Race DH S elevates your downhill and enduro experience with dependable performance and durability.
