The Pirelli Scorpion Trail III rear motorcycle tire is designed for adventure and crossover motorcycles that travel across a broad mix of riding environments. This 170/60R17 tire carries a 72V speed rating and is engineered to deliver confident performance on paved twisty roads, gravel surfaces, and light off-road routes. Pirelli combines an adventure-focused tread design with sporty handling characteristics to provide dependable control when conditions change.
The asymmetric groove layout helps improve tread efficiency and contact patch stability at elevated speeds, while the rounded profile and increased overall width support smooth turn-in and predictable cornering. Its high-stiffness structure helps maintain the tire profile under load, contributing to precise handling and stability when the motorcycle is leaned over. Reinforced structure cords with superior linear density and stiffness increase lateral thrust for improved trajectory control.
Full-silica compounds are used at the front and rear applications to help enhance grip and braking performance in both wet and dry conditions. The Scorpion Trail III is a practical choice for riders seeking a balanced rear tire for adventure touring, crossover motorcycles, and mixed-surface travel. Verify that the 170/60R17 fitment, load and speed ratings, and motorcycle manufacturer requirements match your application before installation. This product is manufactured by Pirelli and identified by manufacturer and vendor part number 4255800.
