Pirelli has introduced the latest addition to its SCORPION family of motorcycle products – the SCORPION Trail III. Representing a new era for adventure-touring tyres, this innovative product stands out as the sportiest member of the SCORPION line-up on asphalt, while also exhibiting exceptional off-road capabilities.

Designed to cater to modern adventure and crossover motorcycles known for their versatility across different terrains, the SCORPION Trail III is the outcome of Pirelli's cutting-edge research and development.

On the asphalt, the SCORPION Trail III impresses with its sporty behaviour, boasting high levels of grip, optimal handling, excellent stability even under full load, and wet performance comparable to Sport-Touring tyres. The tyre's tread pattern, a refined version of its predecessor SCORPION Trail II, incorporates design elements from the DIABLO sport range, enhancing stability and riding precision.

When venturing off asphalt onto dirt roads, the tyre's central and transverse grooves provide the necessary control and traction. The tyre's construction ensures a comfortable ride, minimising road noise without compromising on road riding pleasure. The grooves enable wet drainage and lateral riding stability on softer terrain.

The SCORPION Trail III features new compounds, utilising 100% silica for radial sizes, ensuring top-notch performance on both wet and dry surfaces. The rear dual-compound radials optimise cornering grip with a soft compound on the shoulders.

Front structures draw from supersport experience for enhanced ride and grip, while radial sizes include a 0-degree steel belt providing stability at high speeds. Rigid rear tyre structures ensure sporty handling in various conditions. Derived from Pirelli's Sport Touring expertise, the multi-radius approach ensures stability at high speeds, high mileage, and a sporty feeling with progressive behaviour.
