SCORPION™ Trail II is the new enduro street tyre

SCORPION™ Trail II is the new Pirelli tyre specifically designed for the most demanding motorcyclists, with an aggressive tread pattern supported by strong technological innovations, giving good stability even at high speed, traction on dirt, handling, comfort and grip in all riding conditions. The enduro street segment has become one of the most important in the PTW market and Pirelli decided to develop tyres with more road performance, but with an off road look, with particular attention to the handling in different road conditions. The new SCORPION™ Trail II, a direct successor of SCORPION™ Trail, is the synthesis of the meeting of two worlds: the field of off road competition and the road trip. Suitable for the latest generation of adventure touring and enduro street motorycles able to tackle even long journeys and excursions, with light off-road sections, the new SCORPION™ Trail II is a tyre with good road performance, yet capable of tackling unpaved surfaces. It is designed for motorcycles such as the Ducati Multistrada, Aprilia Caponord, BMW R 1200 GS, Triumph Tiger, KTM 1190 Adventure, Honda Crosstourer, Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré, Kawasaki Versys and Suzuki V-Strom, models which are increasingly being purchased by riders strictly for use on the road but which, if necessary, may also handle stretches of dirt and light off-road use. The new SCORPION™ Trail II will be available from January 2015.
