PIRELLI Scorpion XC RC Team Edition TLR 29x2.2 Yellow

Designed for the most demanding XC courses: developed with Pirelli athletes for the best racing performance.

A tread pattern designed to handle modern XC courses: from man-made obstacles to natural terrain and from hardpack to loose conditions.

The Scorpion™ XC RC is designed for the racer who seeks the best performance in all racing conditions while pushing beyond their limits.

The Scorpion™ XC RC tread pattern has been designed together with XCO World Cup athletes: low profile, thick central knobs offer minimal rolling resistance while higher lateral knobs allow fast cornering control. A tread design with no compromises.

SmartGRIP Compound

Decades of victories in Motocross and Rally competitions around the world led Pirelli's engineers to the development of a new innovative rubber formulation: the SmartGRIP Compound for the Scorpion™ MTB which blends together opposite features.

The SmartGRIP Compound is the result of an extensive process of research and development that led us to absolute performances in either dry and wet conditions. Pirelli chose a single compound formulation in order to achieve the most consistent performances throughout the entire lifespan of the tyre even when the knobs start to wear off.

Features:

• Tear resistance for the maximum mechanical grip on dry and wet surfaces together with the maximum resistance against punctures;
• Chemical grip on wet terrain for unconditional riding in any kind of weather

ProWALL Structure

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.
