When it comes to performance, there's never any doubt about Pirelli's racing commitment, whether it's road or off-road. With a new tread pattern derived from the iconic Scorpion™ XC RC MTB tyre, the new Cinturato™ Gravel RC answers all the requirements for gravel racing deployment: fast on the straights thanks to the minimally pronounced lugs in the central part of the tread, and aggressive in corners thanks to the higher and further apart lugs in the side of the tread that help control the wheel in lean conditions. TechWALL tire construction with Tubeless compatibility consists of a reinforced 60tpi tear-resistant fabric and a protective layer from bead to bead. The Cinturato™ Gravel RC is designed for the toughest gravel trails and for riders demanding the best performance in all conditions.
Features:
- SpeedGRIP rubber compound for low rolling resistance when riding on or off road is combined with high puncture resistance and excellent wet traction.
- The rubber compound formulated specifically for gravel is derived from rallying, where speed on asphalt and grip on gravel and dirt are critical. The result is excellent speed and off-road capability.
- TechWALL high-strength woven nylon fabric covers the area from bead to bead for added protection against cuts and punctures.
- Multi-layer 60tpi braid construction.
- TLR tubeless-ready aramid folding bead optimized for wider rims and lower tire inflation pressures

TECHNOLOGY:
TechWALL Gravel Pirelli has created a tire construction that combines know-how under the armour tech™ label with features developed for MTB off-road use. The design and its components
have properties that allow them to resist damage (e.g. punctures from sharp objects or stones): an added layer of highly puncture-resistant material covers the area from bead to bead without reducing the tyre's rolling efficiency or handling qualities. As a result, it can be used on lighter gravel surfaces as well as in difficult terrain conditions.
SpeedGRIP Pirelli has created a proprietary rubber compound that allows for better performance and energy transfer with less effort when riding on asphalt, gravel or more aggressive terrain. The SpeedGRIP compound achieves the same durability as its MTB sibling (SmartGRIP), as well as the same high level of wet grip and allows for more efficient energy transfer to reduce rolling resistance to a level similar to pure road racing tyres. This high-tech rubber compound is the product of experience gained from the world of off-road racing circuits around the world, where Pirelli has a firm place on both 2- and 4-wheel vehicles.
The result is a compound with two diametrically opposed characteristics:
- Puncture resistance: maximum mechanical grip in dry conditions with improved durability and puncture resistance
- Chemical grip: confidence and control in all weather and on any wet surface, on or off road
