Description

Born from World Cup experience, the new Pirelli XC M is a reimagined approach to cross-country performance. Designed to strike the perfect balance between low rolling resistance and reliable grip, it’s built for today’s dynamic XC racing—from marathon distances to explosive XCO laps. From Hardpack to Intermediate conditions. Thanks to the advanced Race XC compound, it delivers exceptional chemical grip, especially in wet conditions. This allows for a lower, more efficient tread design with a compact central channel, optimizing acceleration and rolling speed without sacrificing control. With a medium tread height and spacing, the XC M is tailored for confident, fast riding across varied terrain—from hardpack to loose, dry to wet. Whether it’s natural trails or man-made obstacles, this tire adapts seamlessly, making it the ideal choice for technical courses where speed and grip must go hand in hand. Durable, dependable, and race-ready, the XC M offers long-lasting performance with high reliability—no matter where the trail takes you. XC M – For riders who demand speed, traction, and control on every surface.

What's the secret to our tyres? Let's take a look at some of the motorsport-derived technologies applied to our cycling tyres

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 — from the World Cup to the Cape Epic — it’s 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 tyre’s entire lifespan, even as the tread wears.

A 360° XC compound for every ride, from technical trails to fun adventures. Its base compound construction ensures uniform behavior and handling, while the outer rubber provides excellent grip, comfort, and durability.

structure

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

structure

The ProWALL features a sidewall protection that enhances the puncture resistance and the handling at low inflation pressure. The sidewall is reinforced with an extra layer of nylon that increases the resistance against penetration and cuts while stabilizing the tyre at low inflation pressure for a confident ride over any kind of terrain. The ProWALL is a solid option for XC racing, trail riding and enduro when paired with different carcass constructions, namely of 120 and 60tpi.
