What Makes the Scorpion XC S Lite the Ultralight Soft Condition XC Tire?

The Pirelli Scorpion XC S Lite is the soft-condition cross-country tire built on the LITE casing, the lightest and most supple XC construction in the Scorpion range. The LITE casing uses a 120tpi nylon construction without sidewall reinforcement, delivering maximum responsiveness, speed, and trail feel for the lightest and most precise riders. Paired with the open, aggressive XC S tread pattern designed for loose dirt, light mud, and technical terrain, the XC S Lite is the choice when racers need genuine soft-condition grip without carrying any extra weight on race day.

Pirelli's XC Compound provides consistent grip and durability throughout the tire's lifespan, with the same 360-degree performance balance found across the XC range. Available in 29 x 2.2 and tubeless ready, the XC S Lite is engineered for weight-conscious XC racers who run soft-condition tires and refuse to give up grams on the casing. It rewards riders with a precise, smooth riding style who value responsiveness and weight savings over the extra sidewall protection of the ProWALL version.
