FAQ

How does the XC M compare to the XC H and XC S?: The XC M is the mixed-condition tread, balanced for varied terrain. The XC H is optimized for hardpack and fast, dry conditions with a lower, tighter pattern for minimum rolling resistance. The XC S is the soft-condition tread with more open, aggressive knobs for loose dirt, mud, and technical terrain. The XC M is the right choice when conditions and surfaces change throughout a single ride.

What is the difference between LITE and ProWALL casing?: LITE is a 120tpi casing tuned for maximum lightness and responsiveness, ideal for pure XC racers chasing weight. ProWALL uses the same 120tpi construction with a reinforced nylon sidewall for added puncture protection and stability at lower pressures. Choose LITE for race day on smoother courses, ProWALL for rougher terrain or training.

Is the Scorpion XC M tubeless compatible?: Yes. The Scorpion XC M is fully tubeless ready, designed for easy mounting and reliable bead stability on tubeless-ready rims. Use sealant for added puncture protection and the ability to run lower pressures for maximum traction.

Best For

XC racers and marathon riders who tackle varied terrain and want one versatile tread pattern that performs across hardpack, loose, dry, and wet conditions. Choose LITE casing for pure race weight savings or ProWALL casing for added puncture protection and low-pressure stability on rougher courses.
