Cubierta Pirelli Scorpion Race XC RH LITE

The Pirelli Scorpion XC RH Lite is an ideal competition tyre for hard-packed mountain bike trails. With a very low tread, it minimises rolling resistance and, therefore, is one of the fastest MTB tyres on the market. Larger side knobs ensure reliable control in corners. The tyre is made specifically for demanding cross-country races, where the top teams trust Pirelli to give them the best rubber.

Race compound for maximum speed
Scorpion XC tyres use the Race compound, Pirelli's highest-performance compound that offers a perfect balance between grip, speed and puncture resistance. It is the result of extensive testing in the laboratory as well as the most prestigious races. Plus, Pirelli has optimised the tread to minimise rolling resistance.

Lite carcass
To save weight and be very smooth, the Lite version has no reinforced casing, and so its puncture resistance is not as high up there as in the ProWALL version. That said, the supple Lite carcass contributes to the fact that this is Pirelli's fastest mountain bike tyre.
