Angel™ XT Urban
details
- Urban Adventure
Description
Specifically designed to meet the needs of road and light off-road terrain, the Angel™ XT Urban is the perfect choice for daily city adventure. With its knobbly thread pattern, inherited from the Pirelli MT60™ RS, this tyre provides agile road handling, comfort, grip and traction on dirt and gravel conditions.
This is due to the different shape of the knobs: lower in the central part for better rolling on tarmac, higher on the lateral part to handle light off-road terrain.
The motorcycle-derived profile provides superior grip when leaning.
The Angel™ XT Urban meets the ECE-R75 and ECE-R88 certification requirements and is both suitable for traditional and electric bycicles.
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
compound
The Procompound Endurance is a Cap & Base compound which has been developed specifically for the Scorpion Sport XC. Of the two layers of rubber that make up the compound, only one is always in contact with the ground. The formulation has been designed to offer an uniform behavior even when worn, for a comfortable riding style which will last longer.
structure
The HyperBELT construction is the urban-specific solution that focuses on puncture protection: the 60tpi Nylon carcass protects the tyre against cuts while an added 5mm layer of rubber offers extra protection against external objects such as nails and thorns.
HyperBELT is a resistant and durable construction which handles the common obstacles of urban cycling.
The Angel™ Urban range meets the ECE-R75 certification, meaning that the tyres meet the European standards specific to the needs of speed e-bikes that go up to 50km/h (31mph).
The reflective stripe meets the approval requirements in the European ECE-R88 regulations that the reflective bands emit a sufficiently visible light even at an unfavourable angle.
