The Pirelli Scorpion Trail II struggles with its individuality. Its name suggests off-road capability, and while it does well in modest off-road situations, this redesigned Scorpion is best suited to hardtop use. Which isn't entirely new; the old Scorpion Trail was basically a deep-tread street tire with a tread pattern that included significantly more land than sea. Pirelli claims that deep, sharply angled grooves will better release water, and new materials will increase rainy and dry weather performance. The front tire is made up of a single, 100 percent silica compound, while the rear tire is made up of a 100 percent silica shoulder and a 70 percent silica center that balances corner grip and longevity. Pirelli's top-secret compound cocktail is created by a one-of-a-kind process that involves continuously mixing polymers and resins with silica, which chemically links to carbon black for improved wear and performance. Pirelli enhanced the Trail II's carcass tensile strength by 60% and linear density by 32% over the previous tire to meet the demands of high horsepower ADV machines.
