Born from World Cup experience, the new Scorpion™ XC M is a reimagined approach to cross-country performance, built to strike the perfect balance between low rolling resistance and reliable grip for today’s dynamic XC racing, from marathon distances to explosive XCO laps. The Race XC compound delivers exceptional chemical grip, especially in the wet, allowing a lower, more efficient tread with a compact central channel that optimises acceleration and rolling speed without sacrificing control. With medium tread height and spacing it is tailored for confident, fast riding across varied terrain, hardpack to loose, dry to wet. Team Edition with yellow (or gold) hot-patch labels, as raced by the Pirelli-supported teams.

COMPOUND, CASING, TECHNOLOGIES
What's the secret to our tyres? Let's take a look at some of the motorsport-derived technologies applied to our cycling tyres
RACE XC COMPOUND
Developed by Pirelli technicians and produced in the Motorsport laboratories, the Race XC Compound represents the perfect balance between rolling efficiency and control. It delivers maximum control and speed across varied terrain, with excellent tear resistance and puncture protection, and exceptional chemical grip in the wet. The compound is applied uniformly throughout the tread with no lower-grade inserts, so performance stays consistent over time.
LITE CASING
A lightweight and supple casing which maximises speed, handling and riding feel, the ideal casing for riders looking for maximum performance or with an accurate and sharp riding style. The LITE casing is the ultimate cross-country weapon thanks to its lower weight and superior speed, obtained with a 120 TPI fabric construction without extra sidewall protection. It is specifically designed for cross-country and for the lightest riders.
PROWALL CASING
The ProWALL features a sidewall protection that enhances puncture resistance and handling at low inflation pressure. The sidewall is reinforced with an extra layer of nylon that increases resistance against penetration and cuts while stabilising the tyre at low pressure for a confident ride over any kind of terrain. ProWALL is a solid option for XC racing, trail riding and enduro when paired with different carcass constructions, namely 120 and 60 TPI.
