Pirelli Cinturato Gravel S folding tyre

The Cinturato Gravel S stands for Soft Terrain and was developed for soft and loose ground in both wet and dry conditions.

This high-performance tyre, made from the SpeedGRIP rubber compound with its tall, widely spaced knobs, offers maximum grip. The central part of the tread design is engineered to provide a comfortable, stable ride for sporty and fast riding on gravel sections, whilst the outer part of the tread is more aggressive to ensure the best possible grip even when leaning into 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 tyre pressure.

Pirelli SpeedGRIP technology:

The SpeedGRIP rubber compound is a special tyre compound developed from Pirelli’s World Rally Championship experience, 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 mix 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.
