SCORPA SCORCHER
By TMX Archives on 20th May 15
The 2015 Scorpa Factory Trials model has arrived and by the look of these sweet pictures they have done an awesome job with the new neon orange colour scheme as well as giving you some extra trick bits.
The factory model, basically a tricked-up version of the 2015 Scorpa 20 machine, sees refinements in every area – particularly up front with all-new aluminium Marzocchi forks which are claimed to be one of the lightest on the market.
It seems weight reduction has been a major factor for the Scorpa mechanics.
S3 footrests are titanium as are the rear-wheel adjusting snails.
The wheel has been machined for added weight reduction and Michelin X-Lites are just that – light.
Brakes are from Braketec and fitted with high-performance Galfer discs
The machined aluminium head features a titanium finish and is designed by Scorpa and made by S3.
The entire intake manifold and seals have been redesigned while in the airbox a new larger air-inlet opening provides additional torque and engine power.
So is the new 2015 Scorpa Factory Edition their best model to date?
It looks that way but the proof is in the riding and our busy test team will be out on one as soon as they can – so keep a look out in TMX over the next few weeks for the full lowdown.
