Pirelli<\/a> is primarily known as one of the leading manufacturers of premium tyres for cars and motorcycles. However, since 2011, they’ve also been the exclusive Formula 1 tyre supplier, demonstrating their expertise on the world’s fastest race tracks. Furthermore, the Superbike Championship motorcycles have been equipped with Pirelli tyres for many years. Something that is far less known, though: Pirelli can also look back on a long tradition of producing bicycle tyres! They only stopped making tyres for road bikes in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In 2017, almost 30 years after the end of production and two years of research and development, the Italian company celebrated a successful return to the road cycling business. Following the highly acclaimed launch of the P ZERO<\/a>– and Cinturato line for road bikes, Pirelli is now rightly entering the market for MTB tyres! The new MTB tyre line is called Scorpion<\/a> \u2013 a name which does not come by chance, considering that more than 70 World Championship titles have been won using Pirelli\u2019s famous Scorpion motocross tyres! Has the transfer of technology and experience from motorcycling to mountain biking been a success? Ralf fetched a Radon test bike, put it in a Bike Case II<\/a> from B&W and headed south to test the tyres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
