Pirelli Scorpion™ XC RC Lite Team Edition Yellow 29 x 2.2
WORLD CUP PERFORMANCE
A formula designed to cope with the variety of terrains and substrates found on XCO tracks: from man-made technical sections to natural surfaces, from hard to soft and loose substrates. The RC model is designed for the racer who wants to achieve maximum speed and who knows how to keep his bike firmly under control. In addition, the tyre features a high level of reliability and long life thanks to the SmartGRIP rubber compound.
Features:
- SmartGRIP rubber compound - excellent dry and wet grip for the life of the tire with increased puncture resistance.
- Braid - 120tpi multi-layer nylon braid for light weight and great rolling performance.
- ProWALL construction - protective sidewall reinforcement for improved puncture resistance.
- Tubeless-Ready - tubeless application with easy installation and durable feet.
The Pirelli Scorpion XC is a model range designed for everyday crosscountry riding. Whether it's a pure racing deployment where it's all about speed and a good track, or a relaxed and laid-back ride, the Scorpion XC builds on a SmartGRIP rubber compound with excellent grip and traction in dry and wet conditions and LITE (light weight, high speed) or ProWALL (increased puncture protection and high speed) construction.

LITE
All models with LITE tire construction feature maximum rolling efficiency and flexibility: the tire carcass is lightweight for maximum riding performance and a smooth ride. Compared to the ProWALL design, the LITE version uses a softer and lighter construction to provide maximum speed at the lowest possible weight. The perfect choice for cyclists looking to shave a few seconds off the race track, as well as cyclists focused on keeping equipment weight down for a smooth riding style. LITE models feature the most advanced construction for XC racing deployment.
SmartGRIP
The premium rubber compound is the product of Pirelli's experience gained from off-road racing circuits for 2 and 4 wheels around the world. Pirelli engineers have developed a compound with two diametrically opposed properties:
- puncture resistance: guarantees maximum mechanical grip and grip in dry conditions and higher puncture resistance along with longer life
- Chemical wet grip: no need to think about changing conditions, whether it will rain or if there will be muddy and slippery sections on the track
The result is a longer lasting tire that not only has excellent grip and traction in opposing conditions such as dry and wet, but also maintains these handling characteristics as the pattern wears. Unlike multi-compound rubber compounds (two or three), SmartGRIP's single-compound formulation allows for balanced handling characteristics as the tire wears and over its lifetime. The greater mechanical resistance of the rubber also provides greater resistance not only to wear, but also to punctures, so more force is required to cut or puncture the tire.
