What Makes the Scorpion XC R the World Cup XC Race Tire?

The Pirelli Scorpion XC R is the pure XC race tire developed directly with Pirelli's Trek-Pirelli World Cup team, a 100 percent race-oriented product engineered to meet the highest performance demands of World Cup XCO competition. Its tread design combines a lower, more compact center inspired by the XC H profile for straight-line speed with sharp, angled side knobs drawn from the XC M for maximum cornering bite at lean. Pirelli's Race Compound, developed in the Motorsport compound laboratories that supply the brand's racing programs, delivers the ultimate blend of chemical grip on all surfaces, excellent tear resistance, and consistent performance throughout the tire's life.

The XC R is offered in two casing options to match rider weight and course conditions. The LITE casing is a 120tpi construction tuned for the absolute lightest, most responsive setup possible, ideal for elite racers focused on every gram. The ProWALL casing uses the same 120tpi base with reinforced nylon sidewall protection for cut resistance and stability at lower pressures on rougher World Cup terrain. Available in 29 x 2.2 and tubeless ready, the XC R is the tire that wins World Cups for racers who want exactly that.

FAQ

How is the XC R different from the XC M and XC H?: The XC R is purpose-built for World Cup XCO racing with a tread combining a low, fast center for rolling speed and aggressive side knobs for cornering bite at lean. The XC M is the all-round mixed condition tire balanced for varied terrain, and the XC H is optimized for hardpack speed. The XC R is the race-day specialist; the M and H are versatile training and mixed-use options.

Which casing should I choose, LITE or ProWALL?: LITE is a 120tpi casing tuned for absolute lightness and responsiveness, ideal for elite racers chasing every gram on smooth courses. ProWALL uses the same 120tpi construction with a reinforced nylon sidewall for added cut resistance and low-pressure stability. Choose LITE for race day, ProWALL for rougher courses.

What sizes does the Scorpion XC R come in?: The Scorpion XC R is offered in 29 x 2.2 only, the size optimized for World Cup XCO racing and developed in collaboration with Pirelli's Trek-Pirelli race team.
