Race Compound
Developed by Pirelli’s engineers and produced in the Motorsport laboratories, the Race Compound represents the perfect balance between rolling efficiency and control. Tested in countless trials, both in the lab and in the field, and immediately put to the test in competition—from the World Cup to the Cape Epic—it is the highest-performance compound in Pirelli’s MTB lineup. Designed to deliver maximum control and speed across a wide variety of terrains, it ensures a safe and precise ride in all conditions. At the same time, it provides excellent tear resistance, enhancing protection against punctures. Used as a single layer throughout the entire thickness of the tread, without inserts of lower-quality compounds, it maintains consistent performance over time, even as the tire wears down.
