Pirelli Scorpion XC RC Yellow Label Mountain Bike Tire - 29x2.2 For Cross Country Racing

About This Product

Serious mountain bikers, listen up! This Pirelli Scorpion XC RC Yellow Label tire is absolute fire for cross country racing. The 29x2.2 size gives you that perfect balance of speed and traction that XC riders dream about. What really sets this tire apart is the SmartGRIP Compound technology that Pirelli developed from their motocross and rally racing experience - we're talking serious grip that works whether you're riding bone-dry hardpack or slippery wet roots. The ProWALL construction provides awesome sidewall support without adding unnecessary weight, so you can corner aggressively without worrying about tire roll. The tread pattern is specifically designed for modern XC courses that mix natural trails with man-made features - it bites into loose stuff but still rolls fast on hard surfaces. The Yellow Label version is their race-day spec, optimized for maximum performance when every second counts. The versatility is impressive - it handles everything from flowy singletrack to technical climbs without skipping a beat. The puncture resistance is way better than you'd expect from a race-oriented tire, so you can push hard without constantly worrying about flats. The compound gives you both mechanical grip (that physical bite into the terrain) and chemical grip (for wet conditions), which is pretty rare to find in one tire. Whether you're training for your local race series or competing at a national level, this Scorpion XC RC delivers the confidence to attack technical sections and maintain speed through varied terrain. Pirelli worked directly with their pro athletes to dial in this design, and it shows in how predictable and responsive it feels when you're riding on the edge. If you're looking for that podium-level performance without compromises, this tire deserves a spot on your race bike.
