Pirelli presents the Scorpion Rally all-terrain tyre: An innovative manufacturing process capable of producing a highly durable compound, with overall high performance even after intensive use. The tread of the front tyre is optimised for better directional stability at high speeds. High traction, even on the most demanding surfaces, thanks to the specific geometry and block arrangement on the rear tyre. Innovative carcass structure capable of supporting high speeds while ensuring high puncture resistance.
Handling, braking, comfort... The choice of a motorcycle tyre impacts many aspects of your machine's behaviour, whether on the road, track, or off-road. It is therefore essential to carefully select the model that best suits your needs.

Characteristics of different types of cross/Enduro tyres:

• Hard type: suitable for dry and rocky terrain
• Mixed/hard type: suitable for loose and dry terrain
• Mixed/soft type: suitable for loose and soft terrain
• Mixed type: suitable for loose terrain
• Mud type: suitable for muddy terrain
• Sand type: suitable for sandy terrain

To help you understand better, here are some explanations that will assist you in deciphering the markings on motorcycle tyres:

• Dimensions: width of the tyre in millimetres and height of the tyre as a percentage of that width. E.g. 190/55, for 190 mm wide and 55% high
• Structure: radial (ZR, or R) or diagonal (B), both tyres must be identical in this criterion
• Diameter: expressed in inches, e.g. 17 or 19
• Load index: maximum load that the tyre can support
• Speed index: maximum speed that the tyre can support
• M/C indicator: purpose of the tyre, M/C for motorcycles
• With or without inner tube: TL ("tubeless") for tubeless tyre, TT ("tubetype") with inner tube

In some specific cases, other markings may appear, usually associated with the commercial name of the tyre. Here are a few:

• A: Kawasaki
• C, F or GT: BMW specification
• E or B: Special carcass for heavy or loaded motorcycles
• G: Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha specification
• GTW: Heavy, fast, and powerful Grand Touring motorcycles
• H: Original Honda specification
• K: Very fast motorcycles
• M: Original equipment Suzuki
• N: For Aprilia, Honda, Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
• RF: Reinforced tyre
• WW: White-walled tyre

Other less significant references also appear on the sidewall of motorcycle tyres (country of manufacture, DOT marking, etc.)
Don't forget to regularly check your tyre pressure, as it ensures longevity and superior performance!
