RACE COMPOUND
The Race Compound, developed by Pirelli technicians and manufactured in motorsport laboratories, offers an optimal balance between rolling resistance and control. Extensive laboratory, off-road and race testing – from the World Cup series to the Cape Epic – confirms its position as the best performing compound in the Pirelli MTB range. Developed for maximum control and speed on a variety of surfaces, it enables a safe and precise ride in all conditions while increasing puncture protection through excellent tear resistance. The Race Compound is used in a single layer over the entire tread depth, with no inserts of lesser quality compounds, ensuring consistent performance over the life of the tire.
ProWALL
The ProWALL carcass with its sidewall protection improves puncture resistance and handling at low air pressure. An additional nylon layer in the sidewall increases resistance to punctures and cuts and stabilizes the tire at low air pressure for a safe ride in any terrain. The ProWALL is a reliable choice for XC racing, trail riding and enduro use.
