Pirelli Scorpion eMTB Tire Review – Not the tire for us

Get your Loam Wolf gear here: https://store.theloamwolf.com Depending on your local terrain and conditions, these tires could be a solid choice, or not. We really like the durability and longevity of the tires as they’ve lasted a while and still look new. The sidewall construction is solid, and they offer a nice ride feel for sure. Our testers also liked the Pirelli Scorpion eMTB on softer soil and on fast, hard pack terrain. However, we also had some issues with the Scorpions during our test period. While we never got the Scorpion S to actually give way up front, it did feel a bit vague as we pushed it onto the shoulder knobs. And out back, while the Pirelli Scorpion R did many things well, when it came time to scratch our way up vertical pitches with looser conditions and marbley rocks or dust-covered slabs of rock, the tire would spin a bit more than we would like. In these same conditions it also lacked braking power due to the lack of penetration and had us doing a bit more ski-style sliding to control our speed and slamming the back end into corners for speed-checks. If, however, you live in a place that does not have these types of conditions or you’re looking for a long-lasting tire that does performs well on hard pack terrain and trails that aren’t covered in marbles, the Pirelli Scorpion eMTB S and R tires could be worth a try. Available in only one width, 2.6”, the Pirelli Scorpion eMTB tires are available in 27.5- or 29-inch diameters, which doesn’t upset us a ton since 2.6-inch is our preferred width. Pirelli offers the Scorpion eMTB tires in three tread patterns based on riding conditions and terrain. The Scorpion eMTB M is a tighter, medium tread pattern that will roll quicker and be good for some harder pack terrain where speed is key. For our testing we used the Pirelli Scorpion eMTB S up front and the Scorpion eMTB R on the back. The eMTB S features taller profiled knobs and a pretty widely spaced pattern. The side knobs extend over the shoulder and give the tire a pretty round profile. Pirelli says the tire is ideally designed to cut into loose or soft terrain. Out back the Pirelli Scorpion eMTB R is a medium profile tread design for varied conditions and is ideal for rear tire usage as the knobs aren’t quite tall enough to be a good front in our opinion. Tire Construction on the Pirelli Scorpion eMTB tires utilizes their new HyperWall technology. This patented construction is designed to increase handling stability and pinch flat resistance. Pirelli also added Lignin to their eMTB specific tires to create a specific eBike compound called SmartGrip+. The compound is meant to optimize the performance for the torque, weight and speeds found on eMTBs.
