The Pirelli Scorpion Sport XC RC tire is designed for riders who demand speed, precision, and control on cross-country mountain bike trails. Built on Pirelli’s long-standing expertise in performance rubber, this tire focuses on fast rolling efficiency while still offering dependable grip on hardpack, mixed, and slightly loose terrain. Its tread pattern is typically optimized for racing and high-intensity riding, with low-profile center knobs to reduce rolling resistance and more pronounced shoulder lugs to support confident cornering at speed.
Ideal for modern XC and marathon racing, the Scorpion Sport XC RC is usually available in popular 29-inch formats and is commonly compatible with tubeless setups, allowing riders to run lower pressures for better traction and comfort. The casing is engineered to balance low weight with reliable puncture protection, making it suitable for both race day and demanding training rides. Whether you are chasing personal bests on your local loop or lining up for your next cross-country event, this Pirelli tire delivers a responsive, race-ready feel that helps you ride faster and with more control.
