The team will race with tires from Pirelli's Scorpion XC line dedicated to cross country racing and with the brand new Scorpion Race EN and Race DH, which the athletes of the TREK Factory Racing teams will wear in the most selective and challenging trials of their respective disciplines, such as the newborn UCI MTB World Series.

CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT
The partnership with the team will also be preparatory to the continuous development of new and more performing MTB tires by Pirelli technicians, through an intense process of feedback exchange, validations, in- and out-of-competition tests, which has always characterized the Pirelli activity in racing.
MADE IN ITALY TIRES
In particular, the collaboration with TREK Factory Racing will focus on the new Pirelli factory in Bollate (Milan), where a new line of Scorpion tires will be developed and produced, particularly oriented towards competitions. This new range will incorporate the technical feedback from the TREK Factory Racing race fields and all the other MTB teams supported directly by Pirelli.
A TEAM OF CHAMPIONS
The team, which has both XC and DH and Enduro divisions, boasts a roster of some of the strongest athletes on the circuits, starting with 2021 XC World Champion Evie Richards to 2021 MTB Olympic Champion and 2022 Swiss National Champion ( Short Track) Jolanda Neff. In the men's field, Anton Cooper, Vlad Dascalu, Riley Amos, Loris Vergier and Reese Wilson have the talent, successes and preparation behind them to get on the top step of the podium also in 2023.
As is the case with the livery of the TREK-Segafredo World Tour team – whose partnership has given rise, among other things, to various commercial operations between the two companies – the Pirelli logo will also appear on the chest and on the shirt sleeve.
