Race Compound
Developed by Pirelli engineers and crafted in Italy, the Race Compound is the ultimate blend of performance and reliability. Proven through countless victories and podiums — from the World Cup to the Cape Epic — it’s the fastest compound in the Pirelli MTB lineup. Designed for maximum chemical grip even on wet terrain, it ensures confident, all-conditions riding. At the same time, it delivers top-tier tear resistance for outstanding mechanical traction and enhanced puncture protection. Thanks to its single-compound formulation, performance remains consistent throughout the tyre’s entire lifespan, even as the tread wears.

ProWALL
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.
