Pirelli strengthens grip on Adventure Bike market

Pirelli is strengthening its grip on the vital and still growing Adventure Bike market with the introduction of the new Pirelli Scorpion™ Trail II family of tyres.
Aimed at riders of large capacity Adventure machines, this new tyre offers long haul mileage combined with excellent road holding performance, sharing its DNA with the Pirelli Angel GT, Motorcycle News ‘Tyre of the Year 2013’. The tyre can also cope with unpaved tracks when necessary.
The Sports Adventure (or Street Enduro as it is known in some regions) market includes motorcycles such as the Ducati Multistrada, Aprilia Caponord, BMW R 1200 GS, Triumph Tiger, KTM 1190 Adventure, Honda Crosstourer, Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere, Kawasaki Versys and Suzuki V-Strom.
With a bi-compound structure, the SCORPION™ Trail II has a wider central section offering high mileage without compromising cornering performance. The tread pattern has an aggressive off road look, yet the layout is aimed at good water dispersal, stability and wear rate.
Available in a selection of sizes for 17 to 21 inch front wheels gives a wide range of applications across Trail and Adventure models. Like many Pirelli tyre options, the SCORPION™ Trail II can be customised using adhesive numbers, letters and flags.

Pirelli have also been chosen as original equipment for one of the most exciting new 2015 models, the Ducati Scrambler. This new, unique urban machine has attracted global attention and will roll on Pirelli MT 60™ RS tyres.

Especially developed for this quarter of different models, the new tyre not only gives great feedback on tarmac and gravel, it looks the part too, with tyre aesthetics a real consideration on this super stylish machine. Tyre sizes on the Ducati Scrambler are 110/80 R18 front and 180/55 R17 at the rear.
