150/70 R17 69V Pirelli Scorpion Trail III

The Pirelli Scorpion Trail III is engineered as a road focused adventure tyre designed for riders who want sport bike precision on tarmac with the versatility to handle light off road terrain. It represents the most asphalt oriented tyre in the Scorpion adventure family, combining strong road grip, predictable handling and the durability required for long distance travel.

The Trail III uses a tread pattern derived from both the Scorpion Trail II and Pirelli’s DIABLO sport range, increasing the land/sea ratio to maximise rubber to road contact. Its compound system and carcass construction are tuned to deliver stability at speed, confident cornering and consistent performance across varied weather and surface conditions.

Key Technical Characteristics

Advanced Tread Geometry for Road Stability The tread pattern evolves the Scorpion Trail II design with sport influenced elements to improve precision and stability. A higher land/sea ratio increases the contact patch, enhancing grip on dry and wet tarmac while maintaining predictable behaviour on light off road surfaces.

100% Silica Based Compounds Both front and rear tyres use full silica compounds to improve wet surface adhesion and reduce warm up time. The rear tyre features a dual compound layout with:

• A harder central band for mileage and straight line stability
• Softer shoulder compounds for cornering grip and agility This combination supports consistent performance across temperature changes and varied riding conditions.

Sport Derived Structural Design The radial sizes use a 0 degree steel belt to maintain stability at high speeds and reduce carcass deformation under load. Rear tyre structures are reinforced to support sporty handling and maintain composure when carrying luggage or a pillion.

Multi Radius Profile for Predictable Handling The profile is shaped using Pirelli’s sport touring development principles, offering:

• High speed stability
• Smooth transitions from upright to lean
• Even wear characteristics This gives the tyre a progressive, confidence inspiring feel on long journeys and spirited road rides.

Reduced Acoustic Output The tread layout is engineered to minimise noise generation, improving rider comfort during extended road use and motorway travel.
