• Pirelli Scorpion XC R is a MTB tyre for XC, specially developed to function as a rear tire. The medium-high pattern with a low center section and thicker side heels combines speed and low rolling resistance with acceleration grip. With SmartGRIP rubber compound for both wet and dry surfaces. Perfect with the front Scorpion XC M for good balance.

Rear wheel specific tyre: special tread pattern engineered for traction and braking grip. The perfect rear tyre for everyday training. Medium profile tread design with added traction and durability for uncompromising performance over a variety of terrains. The Scorpion™ XC R is the perfect rear tyre when paired with a Scorpion™ XC M at the front. The Scorpion™ XC R tread pattern was developed for use on the same wide range of terrains as the Scorpion™ XC M. The specific design of the central tread, derived from Pirelli's experience in the world of Motocross, increases grip and stability both when braking and accelerating and gives the Scorpion™ XC R unique levels of confidence and reliability on mixed terrain. SmartGRIP Compound is an advanced compound developed using motorsport experience. The single compound provides constant high grip performance both in wet and dry conditions, even when the tread starts to wear. ProWall sidewall reinforcement technology increases puncture protection and improves handling at low pressures. An additional layer of Nylon fabric is applied over the casing sidewalls for extra protection and improved cornering stability. Casing: 120 tpi
