Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- With an open tread, this tyre has plenty of grip on soft surfaces.
- With Pirelli's Race compound, the tyre has very low rolling resistance.
- The Lite casing ensures very low rolling resistance for more speed.
- The Scorpion Race tyres are made in Italy from FSC-certified rubber.
- The carcass is optimised for rims with a 30 mm inner width.
- Unfortunately, low rolling resistance also means slightly less puncture protection.
- This tyre is only available in 2.4 inch.

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.
