Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M folding tyre

The Cinturato Gravel M stands for mixed terrain and was developed for all-round use in wet and dry conditions.

The tyre tread, made from SpeedGRIP rubber compound, features very tall and variably spaced knobs on the central tread, allowing it to grip a lot of material and offering speed on straights. The very tall knobs on the sides provide additional grip and lateral stability in corners. 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 air pressure.

Pirelli SpeedGRIP technology:

The SpeedGRIP rubber compound is a special tyre compound developed from Pirelli’s involvement in the World Rally Championship, 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 handling 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.
