Pirelli XC M – The Modern Take on Mixed-Terrain Racing

Born from World Cup experience, the Pirelli Scorpion XC M is a reimagined approach to cross-country performance. Designed to strike the perfect balance between low rolling resistance and reliable grip, it’s built for today’s dynamic XC racing - from marathon distances to explosive XCO laps. 

Thanks to the advanced Race XC compound, it delivers exceptional chemical grip, especially in wet conditions. This allows for a lower, more efficient tread design with a compact central channel, optimizing acceleration and rolling speed without sacrificing control.

Designed with a medium tread height and spacing, the M is tailored for confident, fast riding across varied terrain. Whether on natural trails or man-made obstacles, this tire adapts seamlessly, making it the ideal choice for technical tracks. The Pirelli Scorpion XC M is 9% faster and 12% lighter than the previous one. Durable, dependable, and race-ready, offering long-lasting performance with high reliability - no matter where the trail takes you.
