Pirelli Scorpion Race XC RH Lite MTB tyre

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 provides excellent tear resistance, improving 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 consistent performance over time, even with tire wear.

Lite MTB
Flexible, lightweight casing maximizes smoothness, speed, and consistency. Perfect for athletes looking to gain a few seconds in competition, as well as for all lightweight cyclists with a careful riding style, the LITE casing is our cross-country racing casing par excellence. The lightest version in our 120tpi range, the LITE casing has no sidewall reinforcement for maximum speed and riding sensitivity. Specially designed for cross-country applications and lighter riders.
