Designed to deliver maximum performance on compact, fast terrain, the new Pirelli Scorpion™ XC RH is a racing tire created for pure speed. The low central tread ensures exceptional smoothness, while the pronounced side knobs offer grip and control when cornering and on technical sections. At the heart of its development is the Race XC Compound, a high-performance formulation derived from Pirelli's proven experience in motorsport and the most demanding cycling disciplines, developed in this model for immediate response, explosive acceleration, and maximum pedaling efficiency. Already chosen by Pirelli teams in the XC and Marathon World Cups, the Scorpion™ XC RH is the ideal choice for those seeking every possible rolling efficiency advantage in competition: this tire combines record-breaking speed with the control needed to tackle any modern XC discipline.
Race Compound
Developed by Pirelli engineers and produced in the Motorport laboratories, the Race Compound represents the perfect balance between smoothness and control. Tested countless times in the laboratory and in the field, and immediately put to the test in competition—from the World Cup to the Cape Epic—it is the highest-performing compound in Pirelli's MTB range. Designed to offer maximum control and speed on a variety of terrains, it guarantees safe and precise driving in all conditions. At the same time, it ensures excellent tear resistance, which improves protection against punctures. Used in a single layer and for the entire thickness of the tread, without inserts of other less valuable compounds, it allows for performance that remains constant over time, even with tire wear.
Pro Wall
ProWALL is a sidewall reinforcement technology that improves puncture protection and rideability even at low pressures. The additional layer of nylon fabric on the sidewalls of the casing improves not only protection against cuts and pinches but also the stability of the entire structure, allowing for better handling and more precise cornering, both essential for improving your off-road riding experience. All this without compromising on weight and smoothness, making ProWALL a perfect solution for both cross-country racing and aggressive trail riding and enduro when paired with different casing structures, 120 tpi and 60 tpi respectively.
