Pirelli Scorpion XC Hard Terrain Tyre MTB Tyres

Designed for heavily compacted trails and hard surfaces, the Scorpion Trail H features low profile, tightly packed knobs to provide a large contact area and providing the best trade-off between speed and grip. This is the tyre of choice for XC and Marathon courses where speed is the key factor. 

Pirelli’s unique SmartGrip single compound rubber has excellent tear resistance and chemical grip qualities, providing consistent performance in wet and dry conditions, even as the tread starts to wear.

The ProWALL casing is reinforced for extra puncture protection and improved handling at lower pressures. An additional layer of nylon fabric is applied over the casing sidewalls for extra protection and improved cornering stability.

The LITE casing is all about providing maximum rolling efficiency and suppleness and uses a lighter carcass to increase speed and riding feel.

Who’s this item for: This tyre is best suited to XC riders looking for a fast tyre that is optimised for use on fast, hardpacked surfaces.

Suggested terrain use: This is a hard-terrain tyre so it will excel in dry, hardpacked trails. A great choice for use in Aussie summers.

Which wheel? This tyre would work well both front and rear.

Casing: 120 tpi

Rim width? 
The relatively narrow width of these tyres would pair best with rims with internal widths under 30mm.
