Pirelli Scorpion Race XC RH LITE - Team Edition
The latest addition to the Scorpion XC family, the new RH is engineered for the demands of modern cross-country racing, where maximum speed is crucialâbut never at the expense of control. RH stands for âRacing Hardpackâ, and this tire is purpose-built for compact terrain and XCC race formats. The tightly packed, low-profile center tread delivers exceptional rolling efficiency, gliding effortlessly across firm surfaces while still absorbing trail feedbackâsomething a pure semi-slick simply canât match. What truly sets the RH apart is its use of the fine tuned Race XC compound, which combines ultra-fast rolling performance with strong chemical gripâespecially vital on hardpack and in mixed race conditions. This allows for maximum speed with confidence, even when pushing the limits. Aggressive side knobs ensure surefooted cornering at high speeds, letting you hold your line and keep the watts youâve earned on the straightaways.
Features
Race Compound - Developed by Pirelli engineers and crafted in Italy, the Race Compound is the ultimate blend of performance and reliability. Proven through countless victories and podiums â from the World Cup to the Cape Epic â itâs the fastest compound in the Pirelli MTB lineup. Designed for maximum chemical grip even on wet terrain, it ensures confident, all-conditions riding. At the same time, it delivers top-tier tear resistance for outstanding mechanical traction and enhanced puncture protection. Thanks to its single-compound formulation, performance remains consistent throughout the tyreâs entire lifespan, even as the tread wears.
LITE MTBÂ - It's a lightweight and supple casing which maximises speed, handling and riding feeling. It is considered the ideal casing for the riders looking for the maximum performance or the riders with an accurate and sharp riding style. The LITE casing is the ultimate cross-country weapon thanks to its lower weight and superior speed obtained with a 120tpi fabric construction without extra sidewall protection. The LITE casing is specifically designed for cross-country application and for the lightest bikers.
