Is the Scorpion XC M the Right XC Tire for You?

The Pirelli Scorpion XC M is built for XC and marathon racers who need a tire that stays fast across varying terrain without sacrificing confidence on mixed surfaces. The medium profile tread pattern hits the sweet spot between the rolling speed of a hardpack tire and the traction of a more aggressive knob layout. The SmartGRIP Compound delivers long-lasting grip in wet and dry conditions with increased resistance to tearing under race-pace loads, so the tire holds up through punishing multi-hour efforts.

The 120tpi Nylon casing keeps weight down and rolling performance sharp, while TLR tubeless-ready technology makes mounting straightforward and bead retention consistent at the lower pressures that maximize traction. ProWALL sidewall reinforcement adds protection against pinch cuts and trail debris without compromising the supple ride quality XC racing demands. Available in 29 x 2.2 and 29 x 2.4, the Scorpion XC M pairs naturally up front with the XC R out back for a complete race-ready tubeless setup.
