The updated Pirelli RC – World Cup Heritage, Next-Gen Performance
The tire that was proven the World Cup is back, reborn with cutting-edge upgrades for the modern cross-country racer. The new Pirelli RC takes the iconic tread pattern trusted by champions and evolves it with more volume, a squarer profile, a brand-new compound, and an advanced casing construction. Engineered to be 7% faster than the previous one and built for speed and control on the mixed terrains that define today's XC racing, from man-made rock gardens to raw, natural trails the new RC brings together race-proven design and next-generation innovation for total confidence and precision.
Key upgrades include: Increased volume for enhanced comfort and control at high speeds. Squarer profile for improved stability and more consistent cornering. Race XC compound, delivering the ideal blend of grip and low rolling resistance. Enhanced casing structure, balancing lightweight performance with robust durability.
