Emperor is the most versatile tyre in the new Scorpion™ Gravity range. Its medium-spaced tread pattern, evenly balanced between centre and shoulder, achieves the ideal compromise between rolling efficiency, grip and braking traction across a wide range of surfaces and changing conditions. The result is a predictable, stable ride whether the trail turns to hardpack or rough ground. Run it as a front tyre with a Blacksting on the rear for maximum efficiency, or as a complete set for balanced all-round performance, from aggressive trail riding to race-oriented downhill.

- Balanced And Predictable
- Mixed And Variable Terrain
COMPOUND, CASING, TECHNOLOGIES
What's the secret to our tyres? Let's take a look at some of the motorsport-derived technologies applied to our cycling tyres
SUPERSOFT COMPOUND
Super grippy with maximum damping. Built for racing and extreme terrain, the Supersoft compound delivers the highest levels of grip and damping and conforms to the ground even in the harshest conditions. Choose it when grip matters more than rolling speed or mileage.
SOFT COMPOUND
Solid grip, long life and predictable handling. The Soft compound is the all-condition reference of the Scorpion™ Gravity range, balancing grip, rolling speed and mileage for aggressive riding day after day.
HARDWALL CASING
The HardWALL is a reinforced MTB casing that features bead-to-bead protection together with an insert of hard rubber above the bead, making it a construction capable of handling the most aggressive riding styles. The multiple reinforcements integrated with the carcass deliver solid support when riding at low inflation pressure, and the thick rubber insert easily handles high loads and prevents pinch flats. The result is a 60 TPI mountain bike casing that is very stable at low pressure, increasing reliability and ride quality. The HardWALL casing is specifically designed for trail and enduro riding.
DUALWALL CASING
The DualWALL is a 120 TPI double-ply casing with a rubber insert in the bead area to prevent pinch flats. Built for racing enduro, bike park and aggressive riding, it provides maximum support and race-proven durability while combining protection, support and suppleness.
DHWALL+ CASING
The DHWALL+ is the heavy-duty casing of the Scorpion™ Gravity range: a full double-ply 60 TPI carcass with a rubber bead insert and an external fabric layer that stabilises the sidewall. Built for downhill and World Cup level racing, its cut-resistant sidewall reinforcement delivers maximum protection, support and impact absorption.
