Which Scorpion XC M versions do you stock?

Two. The current Scorpion XC M ProWALL with Sport Compound and a 60 TPI casing, which Pirelli sold until 2024 as the Scorpion Sport XC M; and the previous-generation XC M ProWALL with SmartGRIP compound and a 120 TPI casing, in black, Classic and Team Edition. Pirelli’s top XC M, with Race Compound and a 120 TPI casing, is a third version we don’t currently stock.

Scorpion XC H, XC M or XC RC?

Pirelli designs the XC H for hard-packed XC and marathon courses where speed is key, with low, densely packed knobs; the XC M as its most versatile XC tyre, with a medium-profile tread for varied terrain; and the XC RC for the most demanding race courses, from hardpack to loose, with low central knobs and taller side knobs designed with World Cup athletes. The XC R is a rear-specific tyre for the same terrain as the XC M.

Which rear tyre does Pirelli pair with the Scorpion XC M or Trail M?

Pirelli calls the Scorpion XC R the optimal rear tyre with a Scorpion XC M at the front, and the Scorpion Trail R the perfect rear with a Scorpion Trail M. Both R models are rear-specific, with a motocross-derived central tread for traction and braking grip.

Is the Scorpion XC M hookless compatible?

Pirelli’s current Scorpion XC M catalogue page carries its hookless-compatible badge. Follow the pressure limits of Pirelli and your rim maker.

Sport Compound

Pirelli’s 360° cross-country compound for every ride, from technical trails to fun adventures. Pirelli says its base-compound construction gives uniform behaviour and handling, while the outer rubber provides grip, comfort and durability.

ProWALL casing

A casing with a reinforced sidewall: an extra nylon layer that Pirelli says increases resistance to cuts and penetration and stabilises the tyre at low pressure. Pirelli pairs it with 120 and 60 TPI constructions for XC racing, trail and enduro.

Description

This is the Scorpion XC M with Pirelli’s Sport Compound and a 60 TPI ProWALL casing — the version Pirelli sold until 2024 as the Scorpion Sport XC M, not the Race Compound 120 TPI XC M. Pirelli designs the XC M for fast riding from hardpack to intermediate conditions, and the Sport Compound for grip, comfort and durability on every kind of ride. Choose it for cross-country training and trail fun; if you want a 120 TPI casing, we also stock the previous-generation SmartGRIP XC M.
