Scorpion Race 29in XC RC Tubeless Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The ProWALL version of the XC RC gives me the confidence to push harder into loose or rocky sections. It feels just as fast as the lighter casing, but I don’t stress every time I hear that 'ping' on the rim. It’s my go-to when I want race pace without flats."

The Pirelli Scorpion Race XC RC ProWALL is built for serious XC competitors who want top-end speed and traction without the fragility of an ultralight casing. This tire is tailored for aggressive riders tackling modern cross-country tracks where low rolling resistance, traction, and protection must exist in harmony.

The XC RC tread design uses a compact center for fast rolling and squared shoulder blocks for consistent bite in corners and under braking. Matched with the Race Compound, a single rubber formula developed in Italy, it delivers high chemical grip, especially in wet conditions, while maintaining performance across the entire lifespan of the tire. The ProWALL casing reinforces the tire’s sidewalls with an added nylon layer, improving puncture resistance and overall stability, particularly when running lower pressures. This makes it ideal for rocky terrain, rooty descents, and unpredictable race conditions. With a 120 TPI construction, the tire remains supple and responsive, offering a smooth, high-performance feel on every lap.
