Designed to deliver maximum performance on compact and fast terrains, the new Pirelli Scorpion™ XC RH is a race tyre built for pure speed. The low central tread ensures exceptional rolling efficiency, while the pronounced side knobs provide grip and control in corners and on technical sections. 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. Tested through countless trials, both in the lab and on the field, and immediately brought to racing—from the World Cup to the Cape Epic—it is the most high-performing compound in Pirelli’s MTB range. 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

The ProWALL features a sidewall protection that enhances the puncture resistance and the handling at low inflation pressure. The sidewall is reinforced with an extra layer of nylon that increases the resistance against penetration and cuts while stabilizing the tyre at low inflation pressure for a confident ride over any kind of terrain. The ProWALL is a solid option for XC racing, trail riding and enduro when paired with different carcass constructions, namely of 120 and 60tpi.
