Pirelli Scorpion XC M, 29x2.4, ProWALL, 120tpi, Race XC Compound, Retro

Pirelli Scorpion™ XC M, 29x2.4, ProWALL, 120tpi, Race XC Compound, Retro A modern take on mixed terrain racing Born from a World Cup background, the new M pattern brings a whole new approach to cross-country performance. Designed for the ideal balance of low rolling resistance and reliable grip, it meets the demands of today's dynamic XC races - from marathons to explosive XCO circuits. Thanks to the advanced Race XC Compound rubber, it offers exceptional chemical grip, especially in wet conditions. This has allowed for a reduced and streamlined pattern with a compact center dart for improved acceleration and fast rolling without compromising handling. With a medium-high tread pattern and optimal lug spacing, the M is designed for predictable, fast riding on a variety of surfaces. Whether it's natural trails or man-made obstacles, this tire adapts perfectly, making it the ideal choice for technical trails. The new XC M is 9% faster and 12% lighter than its predecessor. Durable, reliable and ready to race - the M offers long-lasting performance with high reliability wherever the trail takes you. Features: - Race XC Compound Rubber - Single-component compound for consistent race performance. - Braid - 120tpi multi-layer nylon braid for light weight and great rolling. - ProWALL construction - Reinforced sidewalls for added protection and stability at low tire pressures. - Tubeless-Ready - TLR technology for easy mounting and bead stability on modern wide rims. 120tpi, TLR construction. Dimension: 29x2.4 Recommended rim width: 30C Protection: ProWALL Weight: 725 g (29x2.4) Disciplines: XCC, XCO, XCM, marginally Trail Dry terrain: rocks, hardpack, mixed, loose on hardpack, gravel Wet terrain: wet rocks, slippery hard surface, mixed wet roots, wet loose, marginal mud TECHNOLOGY: Race XC Compound rubber Developed by Pirelli engineers and manufactured in Italy, Race XC Compound is the perfect combination of performance and reliability. Proven by victories and podium finishes - from the World Cup to the Cape Epic - it is the fastest compound in Pirelli's MTB range. Designed for maximum chemical grip even on wet surfaces, this compound provides confidence in any conditions. It also offers superior tear resistance, which means excellent mechanical traction and increased puncture protection. Thanks to the single-component formulation, performance remains consistent throughout the life of the tire - even with tread wear - and delivers balanced behavior from the center to the sidewall, ensuring stable feedback in every racing situation and technical passage. ProWALL construction Reinforced sidewalls for greater protection and stability at low tire pressures. 120 TPI multi-layer nylon with reinforced sidewall technology. The result is reinforced sidewall protection and improved handling.
