Моторезина Pirelli Scorpion Sync

The Pirelli Scorpion Sync motorcycle tire was specifically designed for large urban bikes, ranging from the Ducati Monster and Yamaha FZ1 to the Aprilia Tuono and Kawasaki Z1000. This specialization has led to a number of design features that distinguish this model from most of its counterparts.

Modern multifunctional tread pattern

Unlike most road tires, this model is excellent for moving on various types of surfaces, demonstrating excellent performance on them. This is mainly due to the tread pattern, which contains many individual blocks. They have a complex polygonal shape, characterized by the presence of many long edges. Since they are oriented in different directions, the tire demonstrates very reliable traction and coupling properties, including a shorter braking distance.

In addition, it is impossible not to note the massive size of the tread blocks, thanks to which the tire has solved a number of important tasks at once. First of all, this is a high resistance to deformation changes that occur during movement. This feature has given the tire's handling precision and predictability. Moreover, the massive size of the blocks has made it possible to significantly increase the size of the contact patch, which has had a beneficial effect on traction on dry roads.

Progressive tread profile

When developing this tire, Italian specialists paid great attention to ensuring maximum traction at any angle of motorcycle tilt. This was achieved through careful elaboration of the tread profile curvature. Due to this, the contact patch area has maximum dimensions, regardless of the angle of tilt of the motorcycle. This design feature has significantly simplified the process of controlling the motorcycle, thereby providing a higher level of comfort.

Steel metal cord with variable thickness

The Pirelli Scorpion Sync tire owes its stability at any driving modes to the metal cord, the steel thread of which has a variable thickness. This has made it possible to ensure an optimal level of stiffness throughout the tread, which has had a beneficial effect on handling, regardless of the characteristics of the road surface.

Optimized rubber compound composition

As is known, the traction properties of a tire are largely ensured by the rubber compound. For motorcycle models, this is even more important, since, unlike a car, a motorcycle has only two points of support. Understanding this, Italian tire manufacturers have given the tread rubber compound seemingly incompatible properties - optimal elasticity over a very wide temperature range and increased resistance to abrasive wear. As a result, the tire demonstrates excellent traction, both on dry and wet roads, with a very long service life.
