Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR Review | 20000 km road & off - road | KTM | Dual purpose tyre Mentl Manja

- I chose the Scorpion Rally STRs for my 5 month, 21000 kilometer Overlanding ride of the Himalayas that began last October where I got the opportunity to put these dual purpose tyres to a real world test. I rode them on straight highways, twisty mountain roads and on dirt, gravel, snow (even ice), slush and sand. They performed beyond expectation on the highways and mountain roads and considerably well on the trails. I only wish I had more off - road training to push these tyres to their absolute limits off the road.
.
So based on my experience of using them for an extended period of time on my Duke 200, here's my brief review.
.
Tyres picked up from Tyre Market - www.tyremarket.com

After learning more about the performance and size of the Pirelli Scorpion Rally Str, I decided to install it on my beloved Suzuki V-Strom 650XT. Thank you for the wonderful video. A message of gratitude from an ordinary Japanese rider.
@@senbee8342 that's awesome Senbee! Thank you for the kind message :)
I agree with your judgment. I just put these tires through an 1,800 mile off-road and tarmac mountain journey, experiencing every surface imaginable (except snow:) on my Triumph Tiger 800. They met all the challenges I faced without a moment of insecurity. Excellent tires!
Amazing set of tyres indeed! And how's the tread depth now? How much life are you expecting out of them?
Thanks for your review, well done! I am using the same tyres and also like them a lot. One minor addition: these tyres are available in a wider range of sizes (e.g. 21" front), at least in Europe.
Thanks Tim! I'm glad you liked it. Yea, I have seen them on motorcycles there, they maybe available here too. I may have missed that!
Awesome review and looks like you've taken them to some amazing places!!
Thank you Peter! I'm glad you liked it. I sure was lucky to have been to those places!
Nice Video,thanks and always ride Safe 🏍🙂 regards from Germany Dirk

Good guy! Very sympathic...😊
Excellent job Man thanks !
Thanks so much Bob. Glad you liked it!
These are no doubt very good tyres but front tyre makes hell lot of noise at 50-90kmph.
Very informative 👍🏽
Glad you think so!
Thank you
:)
Finally!!! What took you so long to get in youtube.
Haha 😂, I guess I was putting it off becuase I hadn't done it before. It was always pushed to "tomorrow" and the day finally came a couple of weeks ago 😅
@@MentlManja Awesome bro and wish you Good luck
hey that was a amazing review, can you share the link of the hand guards
Thanks brother. www.bikenbiker.com/products/barkbusters-vps-guards
Please put video about all the accessories and touring setup of your bike.
Hey. I have shot that video. Will be editing it soon and putting it up.
@@MentlManja thanks in advance. Subscribed. 😊🔥
@@imyashwa thanks buddy.
i currently using pilot road 4 on my duke its 18kms atm, thinking about change to pirelli scorpion rally str or pilot road 5, thanks for the review now im towards the pirelli
Hey, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Yes, the Scorpion is an excellent tyre. But, I have little knowledge about the Road 4. Hence cant't add more value. Do keep in mind that the scorpions can become an expensive purchase if you do not venture off road frequently.
wow 4:30 seems like those tires have been dead for the last couple of thousand kilometers already :-)
Haha, yes brother. It surely had reached its end. Fortunately, the last bit was mostly on highways and hence the ride wasn't affected a lot.
Did you get any punctures on STRs? Also, did you try any other dual-purpose tyres to compare with?
I had one Puncture on my second set.
I haven't tried another dual purpose tyre yet. For me, road performance is quite important. Since I was happy with my first set of scorpions, I ended up choosing the same as my second set on the ride.
Heading out on another journey in a couple of months. Will be trying a different set then.
@@MentlManja thank you and good luck with your journey :) Where are you heading to this time?
@@petr3788 thank you 😄 it's back to the Himalayas. A few more places which I haven't seen yet.
E esses pneus fazem muito barulho?
Good video
Thank you Daniel! Glad you liked it and hope you found it useful!
@@MentlManja it is, thanks for your upload
@@danielhristov6175 I'm very grateful! Thank you taking the time to drop a comment!
Please share the front and rear tyre pressure which you prefer to run in and what is the company's recommended pressure. Thanks in advance
I ran the pressure that I've always used on my Duke - 29 PSI for the front and 33 PSI for the rear. I have to admit that I have not tested tyre performance and tyre life in relation to Tyre pressure and weight on the bike. The pressure I'd set worked fine for me and I stuck with it.
Pirelli doesn't list a pressure rating for them on their own website. But I read in a blog that Pirelli recommends referring to the owners manual of the motorcycle for the right tyre pressure.
And you air down a little when you're on riding off road.
@@MentlManja Thank you and appreciate your reply.
@@terenceliu6013 my pleasure!
They look like a rally str 80/20 tires , while rally tires are 50/50 and has knobs
Yes, they are Rally STRs. I had missed adding the STR in the Title
How quiet are these on the road at speeds between 35 and 55 mph? Do they get noisier as they get older? How do they compare to Continental TCK70?
I've used them for a total of 21000 km (2 sets) till now and I haven't ever felt that they were noisy at lower (or higher) speeds. Loved that about them.
I haven't gotten the chance to use the contis though :/
These or mt 60 rs?
I'm between those two 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Sorry, I haven't tried the Mt 60 rs 😐
Bro what is the life cycle of these tyres? How much did it cost you for the pair ??
They last around 12k kms. Depending on motorcycle and the usage. Cost me 16k for the set.
What's the size?
F: 110/70/17 R: 150/60/17
Broo plzz pronounce himalaya properly mannn...
Broo. I could say my way is the right way. But I know that there is no one "right way".
These tires SUCK on muddy terrain, they are terrible :)
