PIRELLI SCORPION ENDURO R 29X2.6 (çift 2 adet)

The Pirelli Scorpion™ Enduro R 29×2.6 is a high-volume, rear-specific tire designed for maximum traction and braking stability on mixed terrain.¹ The “R” stands for Rear Specific, featuring a tread pattern derived from Pirelli’s motocross heritage.²

In the 2.6″ width, this tire is a “true” high-volume option, making it ideal for aggressive enduro riding, heavy riders, or e-MTBs that require a larger contact patch and better bump absorption.

Core Specifications (29×2.6)

Key Characteristics

• Rear-Specific Tread: Unlike the “M” (Mixed) or “S” (Soft) models, the “R” has more horizontal, paddle-like center knobs. This design is optimized for braking grip and pedaling traction, ensuring you can put power down on steep, loose climbs.³

• 2.6″ High Volume: The extra width allows you to run significantly lower pressures (often between 1.1 – 1.4 bar depending on rider weight). This creates a massive footprint that smooths out technical “chatter” and provides a very stable feel in corners.

• SmartGRIP Gravity Compound: This is the softer, stickier version of Pirelli’s rubber.⁴ It provides excellent “chemical grip” on wet surfaces.⁵ Because it is a single-compound rubber, it won’t lose performance as the knobs wear down.⁶

• HardWALL Construction: This is the most popular choice for the 2.6″ width. It adds a 15mm hard rubber insert above the bead, which supports the tire’s sidewall and prevents “burping” or rim damage during hard impacts.⁷

Performance Profile

• Terrain: It excels in mixed to dry conditions. While it handles moisture well, the tightly packed center knobs can clog in thick, sticky mud. For pure mud, the Enduro S is a better rear choice.

• Rolling Speed: For a tire of this size and grip level, it rolls surprisingly well due to the ramped center knobs. However, the 1,140g weight means it takes more effort to get up to speed than the 2.4″ version.

• Cornering: It has a “round” profile.⁸ This makes the transition from the center knobs to the side knobs very predictable and smooth, unlike some tires that have a “vague” zone when leaning the bike.

Ideal Pairing

For the ultimate 2026 setup, most riders pair this tire as follows:

• Front: Scorpion Enduro S (for loose/soft) or M (for all-rounder).⁹

• Rear: Scorpion Enduro R.¹⁰
