Pirelli Scorpion XC M LITE folding tyre

The most versatile tyre in the Scorpion XC range, in the LITE version, has been specially developed for maximum speed, handling and riding feel.

Thanks to its medium-depth tread pattern, combined with the SmartGRIP rubber compound, the tyre is the preferred choice for XC and marathon routes where the terrain can vary and versatility is key to success. The LITE carcass, with extra aramid fabric reinforcement at the bead, stabilises the tyre on wide rims and when riding with low air pressure.

Pirelli SmartGRIP technology:

The SmartGRIP rubber compound, developed from Pirelli’s experience and victories in motocross and rally championships. It combines opposing characteristics: ‘tear resistance for maximum mechanical grip and puncture resistance’ and ‘chemical grip on wet and dry terrain for uncompromising performance in all weather conditions’. The result is consistent performance throughout the tyre’s entire lifespan, even as the tread wears down.

Pirelli LITE technology:

The LITE carcass is a lightweight and supple carcass that maximises speed, handling and riding feel. The low weight ensures high performance output, achieved through a 120 tpi fabric construction without additional sidewall protection. An extra aramid fabric reinforcement at the tyre bead stabilises the tyre on wide rims and when riding with low air pressure. The result is a fast, precise and supple riding style without compromising on performance.
