Pirelli Scorpion Blacksting MTB Tyre

Black Sting

The Black Sting scorpion is among the most lethal and lightning-fast predators found on trails and the desert. Feared and respected, striking with speed, precision, and deadly intent. The Scorpion Black Sting is engineered to move fast and precisely across hard and compact terrain. Agile, sharp, and decisive, it is built for riders who demand maximum efficiency and control when speed is everything.
