Pirelli Scorpion Race XC M LITE MTB Tyre

XC M tread
The XC M tread is intended for softer surfaces. The studs are spaced further apart so the tyre can grip the ground well. This ensures plenty of traction even when the surface gets wetter. The downside is that on hard surfaces, the tyre will work slightly less well than Pirelli's XC RC tread. A good choice would be to use the XC RC as a rear tyre and the XC M as a front tyre; this way, you have the best of both worlds.

Maximum speed with the Race compound
The Scorpion Race tyres use the Race compound, Pirelli's highest-quality compound. It offers a great balance between grip, speed and puncture protection.

Performance
As the Lite carcass increases agility and reduces weight, it is perfect for races where it comes down to the smallest differences. In corners, the smooth compound ensures reliable handling and on climbs you won't be hauling any unnecessary weight.
