Pirelli Scorpion XC S folding tyre

The Scorpion XC S is an aggressive tyre designed for extreme racing and training conditions.

The deep tread pattern, featuring the SmartGRIP rubber compound and widely spaced, solid knobs, grips on all types of loose and soft terrain, from dry sand to sticky mud. The ProWALL carcass, with extra fabric reinforcements, increases puncture resistance and handling on wide rims and when riding with low tyre 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 ProWALL technology:

The ProWALL carcass features extra fabric reinforcements around the entire circumference of the tyre, which improve puncture resistance and handling. The sidewalls, reinforced with nylon fabric, are cut-resistant, preventing sharp objects from penetrating and increasing puncture resistance. The tyre bead, reinforced with aramid fabric, stabilises the tyre on wide rims and when riding with low air pressure, ensuring safe off-road riding. The result is excellent puncture resistance and a reliable choice in any situation.
