Pirelli Scorpion XC RC 29x2.4 kevlar tire black

Description

When the course switches between hardpack, rocks, and roots and you still want to hold the pace, the details make the difference – fast rolling, confidence when leaning the bike over, and a tire that won’t get thrown off line. The Pirelli Scorpion™ XC RC tire is built for modern XC racing, where you’re flat out even through technical sections. And the gold lettering on the black sidewall only underlines that this is kit with real ambitions.

Main benefits

Pirelli Scorpion™ XC RC is based on a race-proven tread pattern and pushes it toward higher speed and more precise line control on mixed terrain. Thanks to a squarer profile, it feels more stable in corners and gives clear feedback when you’re really pushing. The Race XC Compound is tuned for low rolling resistance, while still maintaining chemical grip even on wet hardpack or slippery rocks. And when you run lower pressures for traction, the ProWALL construction helps protect the sidewalls and keeps the handling composed.

Technical specifications

The tire is designed for bikes with a 29-inch rim diameter, and in the 29x2.4-inch size it brings more volume for better control at higher speeds. The casing with a 120 TPI thread count is built on multi-layer nylon so the tire rolls well without feeling “paper-thin.” For tubeless use, it features a Tubeless-Ready design, so running without an inner tube makes sense both for puncture resistance and for the option to ride lower pressure. With a weight of 725 g in size 29x2.4 and a Kevlar folding bead, it’s practical for race and performance builds, while the black color with gold lettering looks right at home on modern XC and trail bikes.

Conclusion

This tire makes the most sense for riders who race XCC, XCO, or marathons and need speed on hardpack and mixed surfaces without unnecessary compromises in handling. Scorpion™ XC RC is the choice for situations where you want reliable traction in the dry and confidence on wet rocks, while still keeping a race pace.
