With outstanding traction and braking grip guaranteed by special knobs, Scorpion™ XC R is the perfect bike tire for everyday training. Mounted on the rear, thanks to the special knobs and a tread with medium profile and spacing, Scorpion™ XC R ensures traction and stability on a variety of different terrains, from compact to soft. A perfect combination when paired with the front Scorpion™ XC M or Scorpion™ XC S. The compound used is the result of an intense research and development process that has achieved absolute performance in both dry and wet conditions. Optimized designs for terrain consistency disregard weather conditions, maximizing the effectiveness of the various knob geometries present in the Scorpion™ MTB range, for truly uncompromising performance. With the Pirelli Scorpion™ MTB range, it is no longer necessary to change tires based on weather conditions, but only to focus on the consistency of the terrains you usually face. The choice of a single-compound solution offers high grip in both dry and wet conditions consistently, even as the knobs begin to wear down.
