Pirelli Scorpion Red Claw Tyre - StandardSoft / Dualwall2.4 Inch29 Inch

The Pirelli Scorpion Red Claw Tyre is built for loose, muddy and dusty mountain bike terrain where strong traction and stable control are key. Its open, aggressive tread bites into soft ground and clears debris as the wheel turns. Two casing and compound choices let riders select a build for downhill racing or demanding enduro use.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Open tread pattern: The Red Claw uses an aggressive tread layout designed for loose, soft and muddy ground.
• The open pattern helps the tyre cut through unstable surface material and find firmer ground below, improving traction when grip is limited.
• Wide spacing between tread blocks: Large gaps between the knobs give mud, soil and loose debris room to escape as the wheel turns.
• This helps prevent the tread from becoming packed, so the tyre can keep working effectively in changing trail conditions.
• Defined braking edges: The tread blocks provide clear edges that engage with loose ground under braking.
• This gives the tyre more purchase when slowing the bike and helps the rider maintain control on steep or soft sections.
• Aggressive shoulder tread: Large outer tread blocks provide support when the bike is leaned into a turn.
• They help the tyre hold its line through loose corners and give the rider more predictable grip at higher lean angles.
• Tread designed for loose terrain: The knob layout is optimised for surfaces where conventional all-round tread patterns can struggle to find traction.
• This makes the Red Claw well suited to mud, dust, loose soil and broken ground.
• Tubeless Ready design: Compatible wheels can be set up without an inner tube, allowing riders to use suitable tyre pressures while reducing the risk of traditional pinch punctures.
• This can also improve how the tyre conforms to uneven ground.
• E-MTB Ready construction: Selected Red Claw versions are suitable for electric mountain bikes, making them capable of handling the added loads and forces that come with heavier bikes and motor-assisted riding.
• The Red Claw also gives riders flexibility when setting up the bike for loose conditions.
• It can be fitted at both ends when soft and shifting ground is common.
• It can also be used at the front with a Scorpion Emperor rear tyre when extra front-end bite is needed while keeping a mixed-terrain rear setup.
• Choose the wheel size, compound and casing that match your riding.
• Supersoft with DHWALL+ suits riders who place grip and heavy-duty support first, while Soft with DualWALL is a practical enduro option for consistent grip, protection and regular use.
• Compound and Casing Guide: Supersoft compound: Choose Supersoft when grip and damping are the priority.
• The softer rubber follows rough ground closely and absorbs trail vibration, making it well suited to racing, steep terrain and demanding downhill riding.
• Soft compound: Choose Soft for aggressive riding where dependable grip and wear life both matter.
• It provides predictable traction while standing up to repeated enduro use.
• DHWALL+ casing: Choose DHWALL+ for downhill racing, hard enduro riding and rough terrain.
• Its 60TPI dual-ply carcass, reinforced bead and external fabric layer form Pirelli's strongest Red Claw casing and provide high sidewall support.
• Dual
• WALL casing: Choose DualWALL for enduro riding where casing protection and ground feel are both important.
• Its 120TPI double-ply carcass and reinforced bead provide support against impacts while keeping the tyre responsive to the trail surface.
