The tread design is optimally tailored to the demands of XC trails. It is ideal for artificially created, technically challenging sections and natural terrain with hard gravel or loose rock. The RC was designed for racing, for riders who want to master their bike on technically demanding tracks and maximize their speed. Thanks to the SmartGRIP compound, the XC RC is very durable and reliable. The tread of the Scorpion XC RC was developed in collaboration with XCO World Cup athletes: low and thick center knobs for optimal rolling efficiency, and higher side knobs for cornering control. A tread design without compromises.
