Quite a narrow scope of application of the motorcycle tire Pirelli Scorpion MX Soft 410 is reflected in its rather long name, where the abbreviation MX denotes motocross, and Soft - the "focus" of the tread on sandy and earthy surfaces.
Front tire with a V-shaped arrangement of tread blocks
The front and rear tires have noticeably different tread patterns. These differences are caused by the functions they perform. In particular, the front tire is extremely important to provide maximum course stability and braking efficiency. That's why it differs not only in the open design of the tread pattern, which contains many separate blocks, but also in the V-shaped scheme of their arrangement. This made it possible to provide the tire with all the above-mentioned properties.
Rear tire with transverse ribs
In turn, the rear tire Pirelli Scorpion MX Soft 410 should provide maximum traction and coupling properties in the longitudinal direction. To achieve this goal, the Italian tire manufacturers equipped it with a tread with transverse ribs formed from several high blocks of a square shape. At the same time, they extend into the shoulder areas, thanks to which the tire demonstrates excellent acceleration and effective braking even at significant angles of the motorcycle.
Two-layer tread
Another distinctive feature of this model is the two-layer tread. Its upper layer is made of a more elastic rubber compound, which provides maximum performance under impact loads, effectively absorbing it. In turn, the inner layer provides resistance to high-temperature exposure and dynamic deformation, since it is made of a less elastic rubber compound.
Main features of the Pirelli Scorpion MX Soft 410 tire
- The V-shaped tread pattern of the front tire provides excellent course stability and high braking efficiency;
- very long transverse edges of the rear tire, formed from several high blocks of a square shape, allow it to demonstrate maximum traction and coupling properties in the longitudinal direction even at significant angles of the motorcycle;
- a two-layer tread made of a different rubber compound allows the tire to more effectively withstand impact loads, resist high-temperature exposure and dynamic deformations.
