Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC folding tyre

The Cinturato Gravel RC stands for Race and has been developed for the most demanding gravel routes and for riders seeking the best performance in all racing conditions.

The tyre tread pattern and SpeedGRIP rubber compound are the answer: fast on the straights, thanks to minimal lug placement on the central tread, and aggressive in the corners with taller, more substantial lugs that support handling through bends. The TechWALL carcass, with extra nylon and aramid fabric reinforcements, increases puncture resistance and stabilises the tyre on wide rims and when riding with low tyre pressure.

Pirelli SpeedGRIP technology:

The SpeedGRIP rubber compound is a special tyre compound developed from Pirelli’s experience in the World Rally Championships, where speed, grip and changing road and off-road conditions are crucial. This experience, combined with a new polymer matrix rubber compound, reduces rolling resistance whilst maintaining energy efficiency. The result is a balanced blend of power transmission and secure traction without compromising on grip.

Pirelli TechWALL technology:

The TechWALL carcass is a combination of a road-specific and an MTB-specific Pirelli carcass. It consists of a cut-resistant nylon fabric construction across the entire circumference of the tyre, which prevents sharp objects from penetrating the sidewalls and tread. An extra aramid fabric reinforcement at the tyre bead stabilises the tyre on the rim and when riding with low air pressure. The result is high puncture resistance and a smooth ride in every situation.
