• SPEED
• PUNCTURE RESISTANCE

DESCRIPTION

Cinturato™ Gravel RC is the gravel-racing specific tyre, derived from our experience in the biggest competitions around the World and the feedbacks of our PRO athletes. The tread design is inspired by the Scorpion™ XC RC, focussed on two key features: higher average speed on straight and fast lines, improved lateral grip when off-road cornering. The Cinturato™ Gravel RC is compatible with hookless rims according to ETRTO 5bar/73psi max pressure limit

COMPOUND, CASING, TECHNOLOGIES

What's the secret to our tyres? Let's take a look at some of the motorsport-derived technologies applied to our cycling tyres

COMPOUND

The SpeedGRIP Compound is a gravel-specific rubber formulation born from the Pirelli experience in the World Rally Championship where the performances of speed and grip on and off-road are crucial. This chemical formulation rely on the polymer matrix of the MTB-specific SmartGRIP Compound while lowering its rolling resistance. The gravel application requires good speed and on-off road capabilities, for this reason our engineers tweaked the compound features towards a better energetic efficiency with a little compromise on the grip, the result is a predictable compound with solid performances on and off road.

STRUCTURE

The TechWALL ROAD is a traditional 120tpi carcass which gives up the additional layer of fabric needed by the tubeless-ready construction in favor of a superior racing feeling thanks to a simpler and more supple casing. The reinforcement layers and the aramid breaker under the tread make it a reliable yet fast casing whichis the choice of the factory teams of the World Tour. The TechWALL ROAD is an exclusive feature of the P ZERO™ range
