SmartGRIP Compound is an advanced compound developed using motorsport experience. The single compound provides constant high grip performance both in wet and dry conditions, even when the tread starts to wear.
Sidewall Technology: ProWall sidewall reinforcement technology increases puncture protection and improves handling at low pressures. An additional layer of Nylon fabric is applied over the casing sidewalls for extra protection and improved cornering stability.
RACE Compound: Mono-compound for consistent race performance. The fastest compound in the Pirelli MTB lineup. Designed for maximum chemical grip even on wet terrain, it ensures confident, all-conditions riding.
Casing: 120 tpi
M Tread Pattern: The most versatile tyre in the Scorpion™ XC range: covering a wide range of uses while offering maximum support, whether racing or training
Medium profile tread pattern for riding quickly and confidently over a variety of terrains.
The Scorpion™ XC M is the best choice for XC and Marathon courses where terrain can vary but speed is still the key factor.
The tread pattern of the Scorpion™ XC M is optimised to compliment the properties of the rubber compound to offer uncompromising performance in variable conditions over differing terrain. The additional "bridges" help support the knobs and improve mud shedding in wet conditions.
RC Tread Pattern:
The updated Pirelli RC – World Cup Heritage, Next-Gen Performance
The tire that was proven the World Cup is back, reborn with cutting-edge upgrades for the modern cross-country racer. The new Pirelli RC takes the iconic tread pattern trusted by champions and evolves it with more volume, a squarer profile, a brand-new compound, and an advanced casing construction. Engineered to be 7% faster than the previous one and built for speed and control on the mixed terrains that define today’s XC racing, from man-made rock gardens to raw, natural trails the new RC brings together race-proven design and next-generation innovation for total confidence and precision.
Key upgrades include: Increased volume for enhanced comfort and control at high speeds. Squarer profile for improved stability and more consistent cornering. Race XC compound, delivering the ideal blend of grip and low rolling resistance. Enhanced casing structure, balancing lightweight performance with robust durability.

Couldn't fault the experience. Great price, fast delivery, and the bike was impeccably set up. Would 100% buy from Wheelie again.
