At the core of its development is the Race XC Compound, a high-performance formulation derived from Pirelli technicians’ proven experience in motorsport and the most demanding cycling disciplines. This compound is engineered in this model to provide 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 advantage in racing: this tire combines record-breaking speed with the control needed to tackle any modern XC discipline.

Developed by Pirelli technicians and produced in Motorsport laboratories, the Race Compound represents the perfect balance between rolling efficiency and control.

Designed to offer maximum control and speed across a wide variety of terrains, it ensures a safe and precise ride in every condition. At the same time, it provides excellent tear resistance, enhancing protection against punctures. Used in a single layer and throughout the full thickness of the tread, without inserts of lower-quality compounds, it ensures performance that remains consistent over time, even as the tire wears
