For hardpack trail rides where a light casing isn't enough, the Pirelli Scorpion Blacksting HardWALL pairs a quick tread with reinforced protection. It suits aggressive trail, enduro and e-MTB riding on firm, dry ground, especially when you want a rear tyre that rolls readily between the rougher sections.
The low centre tread keeps things moving, with closely spaced knobs for controlled braking and reinforced shoulders for support in corners. HardWALL adds bead-to-bead protection and a hard rubber insert above the bead, putting reinforcement around the areas that take the knocks.
Run Blacksting at both ends for fast, firm trail riding, or put an Emperor on the front for a more versatile pairing. Medium favours rolling efficiency and mileage; Soft adds a greater emphasis on grip. Choose from the listed combinations rather than assuming every size comes in both compounds.
